Background  Secretory phospholipase A2 group IIA (sPLA2-IIA) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but its role on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level has not been clarified. The aim of the present study was to explore the association between circulating sPLA2-IIA and HDL-C, and to evaluate if sPLA2-IIA enhances cholesterol efflux capacity through regulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ), liver X receptor α (LXR-α), and ATP-binding cassette A1 (ABCA1).    Methods  131 patients with coronary artery disease were enrolled. The plasma level of sPLA2-IIA was tested with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit, and serum lipids were assessed by biochemical analyzer. Human monocyte-macrophage cell line THP-1 was co-incubated with sPLA2-IIA in the presence/absence of selective PPAR-γ antagonist GW9662 in vitro. Real-time PCR and Western-blot were employed to measure the mRNA and protein expressions of PPAR-γ, LXR-α, and ABCA1, respectively. The cholesterol efflux was evaluated by using an assay kit.    Results  In subjects, circulating level of sPLA2-IIA was positively related with that of HDL-C (r = 0.196,  p  = 0.024). The plasma level of sPLA2-IIA was significantly higher in the high HDL-C (≥ 1.04 mmol/L) group (7477.828 pg/mL) than that in low HDL-C (< 1.04 mmol/L) group (5836.92 pg/mL,  p  = 0.004). For each increase of 1 pg/μl in sPLA2-IIA level, the adjusted odds ratio for HDL-C ≥ 1.04 mmol/L was 1.143. Co-incubation of THP-1 cells with sPLA2-IIA resulted in increased expressions of PPAR-γ, LXR-α, and ABCA1, as well as enhanced cholesterol efflux capacity, that were all reversed by administration of GW9662.    Conclusions  Circulating sPLA2-IIA was positively associated with HDL-C. PPAR-γ/LXR-α/ABCA1 might be responsible for sPLA2-IIA-regulated cholesterol efflux in macrophages.
