Statins, plasma proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 concentrations, and LDL lowering.
The discovery in 2003 that variants in the PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) gene cause autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia revealed a new aspect of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) metabolism (1). PCSK9, a protein of 692 amino acid residues produced at high concentrations in the liver, kidney, and intestine, has profound effects on LDL-C concentrations (2). Both gain-of-function...
متن کاملRosuvastatin, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 concentrations, and LDL cholesterol response: the JUPITER trial.
BACKGROUND Although statin therapy is known to increase concentrations of PCSK9, whether this effect is related to the magnitude of LDL reduction is uncertain. This study was undertaken to understand the extent of this effect and examine the relationship between PCSK9 and LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction. METHODS We measured plasma PCSK9 concentrations by ELISA at baseline and at 1 year in 5...
متن کاملClearance of plasma proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 by low-density lipoprotein apheresis.
Clearance of Plasma Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin 9 by Low-Density Lipoprotein Apheresis To the Editor: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (PCSK9) is a secreted protein that modulates plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL) concentrations in part by facilitating degradation of the LDL receptor. It also mediates degradation of the very-low density lipoprotein receptor and apolipoprot...
متن کاملEffect of cilostazol on plasma levels of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9
The protein complex proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) serves as an important target for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis and lipid homeostasis. This study investigated the effect of cilostazol on plasma PCSK9 concentrations. We performed a post hoc analysis of two prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trials including 115 patients of whom 61 receive...
متن کاملRegulation of the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 in intestinal epithelial cells.
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) posttranslationally promotes the degradation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr) in hepatocytes and increases plasma LDL cholesterol. It is not clear, however, whether PCSK9 plays a role in the small intestine. Here, we characterized the patterns of variations of PCSK9 and LDLr in fully differentiated Caco-2/15 cells as a function...
