PCSK9 and Lipid Metabolism: Genetic Variants, Current Therapies, and Cardiovascular Outcomes.
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) plays a crucial role in the modulation of lipid metabolism as a critical negative regulator of hepatic low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) levels and circulating low-density lipoprotein (LDL) clearance. Numerous gain-of-function (GOF) mutations in PCSK9 have been identified as causing familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) by reducing LDLR levels, and loss-of-function (LOF) mutations associated with a hypercholesterolemia phenotype protective against atherosclerosis. PCSK9 represents an example of successful translational research resulting in the identification of PCSK9 as a major drug target for a lipid-lowering therapy. To explore the genetic constitution of PCSK9 and its biologic role, in this review, we summarize the current evidence of clinically significant PCSK9 genetic variants involved in lipid metabolism as well as emphasize the importance of PCSK9 inhibition for the improvement of cardiovascular outcomes by conducting a meta-analysis of the available data on the incidence of cardiovascular disease events.
期刊介绍:
