Suppression of Idol expression is an additional mechanism underlying statin-induced up-regulation of hepatic LDL receptor expression
10 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have identified proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) and Idol as negative regulators of low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) protein stability. While the induction of PCSK9 transcription has been recognized as a limitation to the statin cholesterol-lowering efficacy at higher doses, it is unknown whether Idol is involved in the statin-mediated up-regulation of the hepatic LDLR....
