Lipoprotein(a)-Associated Molecules Are Prominent Components in Plasma and Valve Leaflets in Calcific Aortic Valve Stenosis
2017
Summary The LPA gene is the only monogenetic risk factor for calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS). Oxidized phospholipids (OxPL) and lysophosphatidic acid generated by autotaxin (ATX) from OxPL are pro-inflammatory. Aortic valve leaflets categorized pathologically from both ATX–apolipoprotein B and ATX–apolipoprotein(a) were measureable in plasma. Lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]), ATX, OxPL, and malondialdehyde epitopes progressively increased in immunostaining (p
