PCSK9 and Lipoprotein(a) [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2016
Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) has rapidly become a focus of intensive investigation worldwide because of its linkage to multiple clinically important facets of hepatic lipoprotein metabolism. To facilitate secretion and proper folding, the zymogen pro-PCSK9 must undergo autocatalytic cleavage.

Association of high proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 antibody level with poor prognosis in patients with diabetes: a prospective study

Scientific Reports, 2023
In addition to pathogenic autoantibodies, polyclonal autoantibodies with unknown physiological roles and pathogenicity are produced in the body. Moreover, serum antibodies against the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) protein, which ...

PCSK9 deficiency alters brain lipid composition without affecting brain development and function

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2023
PCSK9 induces lysosomal degradation of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor (LDLR) in the liver, hereby preventing removal of LDL cholesterol from the circulation.

Recent advances in the construction of humanized animal models and applications in translational medicine

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Substantial advances have been achieved in the development of humanized mouse models, which have proven highly valuable in evaluating cancer immunotherapies and elucidating the mechanisms of infectious diseases. There is now a growing shift in research toward larger animal models—such as pigs—that offer greater physiological similarity to humans ...

Food‐grade proteins, lipids, and fibers as potential tools to ameliorate cardiovascular disorders: A review

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of global mortality, necessitating effective preventive and adjunct therapeutic strategies beyond conventional pharmacological interventions. Although previous reviews have focused on individual nutrients or dietary patterns, this review provides a mechanism‐based, integrative perspective

Serum sdLDL-C and cellular SREBP2-dependent cholesterol levels: Is there a challenge on targeting PCSK9? [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2016
Background: Serum small dense LDL-cholesterol (sdLDLC) value is suggested to be an important risk factor for atherosclerosis. Since sdLDL-C changes may be related to PCSK9 and SREBP-2 functions, the aim of this study was to investigate correlations ...

TRIM31–LOX‐1 Axis: A Novel Therapeutic Frontier in Atherosclerosis

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atherosclerosis, driven by a vicious cycle of lipid accumulation and chronic inflammation, underlies most cardiovascular diseases. Macrophages exacerbate this process by internalizing oxidized low‐density lipoprotein (oxLDL), forming foam cells, and releasing inflammatory mediators. A recent study published in Circulation identified the TRIM31–

Functional analysis of sites within PCSK9 responsible for hypercholesterolemias⃞

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
Mutations within proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) are associated with dominant forms of familial hypercholesterolemia. PCSK9 binds the LDL receptor (LDLR), and addition of PCSK9 to cells promotes degradation of LDLR.

Trafficking Dynamics of PCSK9-Induced LDLR Degradation: Focus on Human PCSK9 Mutations and C-Terminal Domain. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
PCSK9 is a secreted ligand and negative post-translational regulator of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) in hepatocytes. Gain-of-function (GOF) or loss-of-function (LOF) mutations in PCSK9 are directly correlated with high or low plasma LDL ...

Proteomics‐Based Identification of the Pyroptosis‐Related Biomarker PCSK9 and Its Association With the Pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune disease, and early diagnosis is critical for effective treatment. This study aims to identify potential biomarkers related to pyroptosis through serum proteomics analysis, offering new insights for the early diagnosis of RA.
