Secreted phospholipase A2 involvement in neurodegeneration: differential testing of prosurvival and anti-inflammatory effects of enzyme inhibition.

There is increased interest in the contribution of secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) enzymes to neurodegenerative diseases. Systemic treatment with the nonapeptide CHEC-9, a broad spectrum uncompetitive inhibitor of sPLA2, has been shown previously to inhibit neuron death and aspects of the inflamma...
