Anti-HMGCR myopathy may resemble limb-girdle muscular dystrophy

open access: yes, 2018
International audienceObjective To determine the prevalence and clinical features of anti-HMGCR myopathy among patients with presumed limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) in whom genetic testing has failed to elucidate causative mutations.

Navigating the Shallows and Rapids of Cholesterol Synthesis Downstream of HMGCR

open access: yesJournal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology, 2015
Cholesterol is vital for human life, but its levels must be tightly regulated. Too little cholesterol leads to developmental disorders, but too much is widely appreciated as contributing to heart disease. Levels are regulated through the coordinated control of cholesterol synthesis, uptake and efflux. Here, we focus on cholesterol synthesis.

Structural Elucidation and Engineering of the (S)‐scoulerine 2‐O‐Methyltransferase Enabling Regioselective Epiberberine Biosynthesis in Coptis chinensis

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4528-4545, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Protoberberine alkaloids are a characteristic group of natural products in Coptis plants known for their notable pharmacological activities. However, the structural similarity and the substrate promiscuity of their biosynthetic enzymes have left the precise synthetic pathways remain unclarified, posing challenges to regulate product formation.

AMPK-mediated HMGCR regulation of cholesterol metabolism in macrophages

open access: yes, 2017
Atherosclerosis, the accumulation of cholesterol-loaded macrophages (foam cells) in the arteries, leads to cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of mortality in the developed world.

Understanding the Regulation of HMGCR

open access: yes, 2013
Statins inhibit 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), the rate limiting enzyme of the mevalonate (MVA) pathway, and are also known to possess tumour-specific apoptotic effects.

APOE and Cerebral Microbleeds: Insights Into Causal Proteins and Therapeutic Targets

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study identifies APOE as a key causal protein for cerebral microbleeds (CMBs). By integrating Mendelian randomization (MR) and colocalization analysis of the plasma proteome from UKB‐PPP and deCODE datasets, we provide genetic evidence that circulating APOE levels are causally linked to CMB susceptibility. Furthermore, protein–protein interaction (

Long noncoding RNA TUG1 induces angiogenesis of endothelial progenitor cells and dissolution of deep vein thrombosis

open access: yesThrombosis Journal, 2022
Objective Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) essentially controls many physiological and pathological processes of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Based on that, lncRNA taurine upregulated gene 1 (TUG1)-involved angiogenesis of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs ...

HSP90 interacts with HMGCR and promotes the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma

open access: yesMolecular Medicine Reports, 2018
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) has been reported to promote the growth and inhibit apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Immunostaining of the tissue array demonstrated that HSP90 was upregulated in HCC clinical samples and was associated with clinical features.

Polyunsaturated fatty acyl-coenzyme As are inhibitors of cholesterol biosynthesis in zebrafish and mice

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2013
SUMMARY Lipid disorders pose therapeutic challenges. Previously we discovered that mutation of the hepatocyte β-hydroxybutyrate transporter Slc16a6a in zebrafish causes hepatic steatosis during fasting, marked by increased hepatic triacylglycerol, but ...
