AIMS: The aim was to test the hypothesis that carotid artery plaque expression of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) (Lp-PLA(2)) predicts cardiac events.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Prospective cohort study of 162 consecutive patients undergoing elective carotid endarterectomy. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) content was quantified by immunoblotting and lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC) by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Additional biomolecular profiling by immunoblotting included C-reactive protein, p67phox, and matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9. Macrophage plaque content was determined by quantitative immunostaining, plaque collagen content by quantitative Sirius red staining. Follow-up for cardiac death and non-fatal acute myocardial infarction was accomplished over a period of 48 +/- 14 months. Expression of Lp-PLA(2) and lysoPC was higher in carotid plaques of patients with than without cardiac events [median 1.6 (25th, 75th percentile 0.9, 2.5) vs. 0.8 (0.5, 2.0), P = 0.01 and 413 (281, 443) vs. 226 (96, 351) mmol/L, P = 0.03]. Smoking and point increase in carotid Lp-PLA(2) expression but no other traditional cardiovascular risk factor, histological or molecular marker remained predictive of cardiac events in the multivariate Cox proportional hazard analyses [HR 3.65 (1.36-9.83), P = 0.01 and HR 1.34 (1.01-1.77), P = 0.039]. Carotid plaque Lp-PLA(2) expression above the median constituted a more than three times higher risk for cardiac events [HR 3.39 (1.13-10.17), P = 0.03].
CONCLUSION: Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) expression in carotid artery plaques is a predictor of long-term cardiac outcome. The current study supports the concept of atherosclerosis as a systemic disease with multi-focal complications and personalized medicine.
