A Secreted Phospholipase A(2) Induces Formation of Smooth Muscle Foam Cells Which Transdifferentiate to Macrophage-Like State

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) loaded with lipid droplets (LDs) are markers of atherosclerosis. In this disease, inflammatory Group IIA-secreted phospholipase A(2)s (GIIA sPLA(2)s) are highly expressed in VSMCs, but their actions in these cells are unknown. Here, we investigated the ability of...
