Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-dependent uptake of Gram-positive lipoteichoic acid and Gram-negative lipopolysaccharide occurs through LDL receptor
6 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) are bacterial lipids that stimulate pro-inflammatory cytokine production, thereby exacerbating sepsis pathophysiology. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) negatively regulates uptake of cholesterol by downregulating hepatic lipoprotein receptors, including low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor (LDLR) and possibly LDLR-related protein-1...
