PCSK9 Inhibitors Understanding
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/Kexin type 9 serine protease (PCSK9) plays a vital role in cholesterol metabolism by regulating low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor degradation, which reduces the clearance of circulating LDL particles. PCSK9 activity is inversely related to LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) level: Gain-of-function PCSK9 gene mutations are one cause of elevated LDL-C and cardiovascular risk in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), whereas loss-of-function mutations cause low LDL-C and reduced risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
PCSK9 inhibitors, in combination with other LDL lowering drugs, have been demonstrated to be highly effective for some people. Studies have shown that these drugs reduce LDL-C by 40–65% beyond the effect of other lipid-lowering drugs. The use of a PCSK9 inhibitor can reduce the chance of heart attack and stroke. New PCSK9 inhibitors are in development and are currently in clinical trials. The development of PCSK9 inhibitors, which are monoclonal antibodies directed against PCSK9, led to a significant enhancement of the lipid-lowering armamentarium, as PCSK9 inhibitors result in a consistent and robust reduction in LDL-C serum concentrations, substantially improving CV outcomes.
Statin therapy is without doubt the cornerstone of any LDL-C-lowering therapy. Therefore, any novel LDL-C-lowering medication would need to show efficacy on top of statin therapy or only be indicated in the minority of patients not tolerating statins. The metabolic changes induced by treatment with antibodies against PCSK9 and statin therapy are not identical. While both approaches lower LDL-C, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B, and increase HDL cholesterol, statins additionally reduce C-reactive protein (CRP), which PSCK9 antibodies do not.
PCSK9 binds to the LDL receptor. After internalizing the LDL receptor bound to PCSK9 (and an LDL particle), the LDL receptor is degraded. PCSK9 can be inhibited pharmacologically by using monoclonal antibodies that bind and neutralize PCSK9 or by RNA-targeting drugs which contain an RNA strand complementary to PCSK9 mRNA and lead to the assembly of an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) which degrades PCSK9 mRNA for a prolonged period of time and thereby inhibits the production of PCSK9. The consequence of both approaches is a lower concentration of PCSK9 that can bind the LDL receptor, which after internalization, more often cycles back to the cell surface and can take up further LDL particles, leading to lower LDL cholesterol serum concentrations.
