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...
The human thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) undergoes proteolytic cleavage closely upstream to amino acid 317. Between residues 261 and 313 are three clusters of positively charged amino acids, arginines (Arg) and lysines (Lys), which are potential subtilisin-related proprotein convertase sites. We used oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis to perform conservative amino acid substitutions within these...
Over the past several years, proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) has gained significant attention as a key regulator of serum LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. In humans, gain-of-function mutations in PCSK9 cause a form of familial hypercholesterolemia, whereas loss-of-function mutations result in significantly decreased LDL-C and cardiovascular risk. Our laboratory was the firs...
Background: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors are a new class of potent lipid-lowering drugs. Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) is the key pathogenic factor leading to atherosclerosis. However, its effect on ox-LDL levels has not been clinically reported. For very high-risk Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) patients, guidelines propose stricte...
OBJECTIVE Estrogen deficiency is linked with increased low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. The hormone receptor mediating this effect is unknown. G-protein estrogen receptor (GPER) is a recently recognized G-protein-coupled receptor that is activated by estrogens. We recently identified a common hypofunctional missense variant of GPER, namely P16L. However, the role of GPER in LDL metabo...
