Role of Insulin in the Regulation of Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9 [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2015
Objective— Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), which binds the low-density lipoprotein receptor and targets it for degradation, has emerged as an important regulator of serum cholesterol levels and cardiovascular disease risk.

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 in kidney disease

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2019
Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a substantially increased risk for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) disease. Accordingly, CV mortality is increased even in the earliest stages of CKD. In the general population and in CKD patients, high plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ...

Plasma Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/kexin Type 9 (PCSK9) in the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
BackgroundProprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a serine protease that is a mediator of the immune response to sepsis. PCSK9 is also highly expressed in pneumocytes and pulmonary endothelial cells.

Use of PCSK9 Inhibitors in Solid Organ Transplantation Recipients

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
Standard lipid-lowering therapies in solid organ transplantations pose challenges due to interactions with immunosuppressants. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors (PCSK9i) represent a new class of lipid-lowering therapies with ...

Sex difference in circulating PCSK9 and its clinical implications

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a proprotein convertase that increases plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels by triggering the degradation of LDL receptors (LDLRs).

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.
