Regulation 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...
متن کاملAssociation of Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9 (PCSK9) With Cardiovascular Risk in Primary Prevention.
OBJECTIVE Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) plays an important role in the modulation of low-density lipoprotein metabolism. This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between serum PCSK9 concentrations and measures of vascular health, subclinical atherosclerosis, and adverse cardiovascular events. The relationship between traditional risk factors and PCSK9 concen...
متن کاملPCSK9 (Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) inhibitors: past, present, and the future.
Reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), mainly with statins, has decreased the risk of cardiovascular events over the last few decades. However, there are several patient populations that warrant further decrease in LDL-C by additional cholesterol-lowering therapy other than statins. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors are a new class of drugs that...
متن کاملCommon Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9 (PCSK9) Epitopes Mediate Multiple Routes for Internalization and Function
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a soluble protein that directs membrane-bound receptors to lysosomes for degradation. In the most studied example of this, PCSK9 binding leads to the degradation of low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), significantly affecting circulating LDL-C levels. The mechanism mediating this degradation, however, is not completely understood. We ...
متن کاملRosuvastatin, Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9 (PCSK9) Concentrations, and LDL Cholesterol Response: the JUPITER Trial
METHODS: We measured plasma PCSK9 concentrations by ELISA at baseline and at 1 year in 500 men and 500 women participating in the Justification for Use of Statins in Prevention: an Intervention Trial Evaluating Rosuvastatin (JUPITER) trial that randomly allocated participants to rosuvastatin 20 mg daily or placebo. We also evaluated rs11591147, a single nucleotide polymorphism known to have an ...
