Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 enzyme inhibitors: An emerging new therapeutic option for the treatment of dyslipidemia
The treatment of hypercholesterolemia entered in a new phase of development with the introduction of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors in the market. The Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency recently approved the alirocumab and evolocumab, subcutaneously injectable monoclonal antibody every 2 or 4 weeks against PCSK9, for the treatment of hyp...
متن کاملStatins, 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 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...
