Fusogenic RNA Nanomodules for Fusion‐Mediated and Multiplexed siRNA Delivery

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A fusogenic lipid‐layered RNA nanomodules (L‐CRAMs) enable high‐capacity and long‐lasting siRNA delivery through membrane fusion. These nanomodules carry exceptionally large siRNA payloads, avoid conventional endosomal uptake, and release multiple functional siRNAs through Dicer‐mediated processing.

Targeting the HSPA8‐CMA‐ATP6V1A Axis Triggers Lysosomal Hyperacidification and Catastrophic Vacuolation in Prostate Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Our experimental evidence supports a model in which ALO targets the HSPA8‐CMA‐ATP6V1A axis to induce lysosomal hyperacidification and initiate osmotic and lipidomic stress. These changes are associated with LMP and loss of lysosomal integrity in prostate cancer cells.

PCSK9 function and physiology [PDF]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
PCSK9 has exploded onto center stage plasma cholesterol metabolism, raising hopes for a new strategy to treat hypercholesterolemia. PCSK9 in a plasma protein that triggers increased degradation of the LDL receptor. Gain-of-function mutations in PCSK9 reduce LDL receptor levels in the liver, resulting in high levels of LDL cholesterol in the plasma and ...

USP5 Stabilizes TGFBR1 to Drive Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Senescence and Atherosclerosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that USP5 drives vascular smooth muscle cell senescence and atherosclerosis by stabilizing TGFBR1, suppressing IDH2, and promoting glycolytic reprogramming, identifying the USP5‐TGFBR1‐IDH2 axis as a potential therapeutic target. ABSTRACT Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) senescence contributes importantly to atherosclerotic plaque ...

Plaque‐Hepatic Targeting Nanotherapy Disrupts the PCSK9‐LOX‐1 Axis to Suppress oxLDL in Atherosclerosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Self‑amplifying PCSK9–LOX‑1 feedback axis drives atherosclerotic progression by promoting oxLDL generation and endothelial uptake. A dual‑targeting nanoplatform (siPCSK9@PEAL NPs‑aL) is constructed to simultaneously silence hepatic PCSK9 for lipid lowering and block plaque LOX‑1 for anti‑inflammation.

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.

PCSK9 inhibitors for hypercholesterolaemia [PDF]

BMJ, 2017
New drugs, old problems Statins (hydroxymethyl-glutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors) reduce “bad” low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations and cardiovascular risk. So too, do better diet and more exercise, which together almost halve rates of coronary event rates when compared with an “unfavourable lifestyle.”3 For some people ...

Engineering Antibodies into Targeted Chimeras: From Recognition Modules to Programmable Degraders

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Antibody can be engineered into diverse lysosome‐targeting chimeras that convert target recognition into active degradation. By coupling antibody binding with recruited receptors, encoded domains, conjugated ligands, or nanoparticle scaffolds, these antibody‐associated targeted chimeras (AbTACs) platforms direct extracellular and membrane proteins ...

Neuronal PCSK9 regulates cognitive performances via the modulation of ApoER2 synaptic localization

Pharmacological Research
PCSK9 promotes the degradation of the low-density lipoprotein receptors and its inhibition by monoclonal antibodies or gene silencing approaches results in the reduction of plasma cholesterol levels coupled to that of cardiovascular events.

Dual‐Organelle Secretome Conjugation and Organ‐Uptake Tracking (DuO‐SCOUT) Enables Deep and Sensitive Mapping of the Secreted Proteins

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel dual‐organelle proximity labeling platform, DuO‐SCOUT, decodes the complex landscape of systemic organ‐organ communication by capturing both classical and unconventional secretomes. Application in metabolic models maps the adipose‐to‐brain secretory relay, identifying selective extra‐hypothalamic sites for adipose‐derived factors and expanding ...
