LPA

Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most dangerous adverse cardiovascular events. Our previous study found that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is increased in human peripheral blood after MI, and LPA has a protective effect on the survival and proliferation of various cell types. However, the role of LPA and its receptors in MI is less understood.To study the unknown role of LPA and its receptors in heart during MI.In this study, we found that mice also had elevated LPA level in peripheral blood, as well as increased cardiac expression of its receptor LPAOur results indicate that endothelial LPA-LPA
