  ABSTRACT  
 
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) regulates serum LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) by interacting with the LDL receptor (LDLR) and is an attractive therapeutic target for LDL-C lowering. We have generated a neutralizing anti-PCSK9 antibody, mAb1, that binds to an epitope on PCSK9 adjacent to the region required for LDLR interaction. In vitro, mAb1 inhibits PCSK9 binding to the LDLR and attenuates PCSK9-mediated reduction in LDLR protein levels, thereby increasing LDL uptake. A combination of mAb1 with a statin increases LDLR levels in HepG2 cells more than either treatment alone. In wild-type mice, mAb1 increases hepatic LDLR protein levels approximately 2-fold and lowers total serum cholesterol by up to 36%: this effect is not observed in LDLR(-/-) mice. In cynomolgus monkeys, a single injection of mAb1 reduces serum LDL-C by 80%, and a significant decrease is maintained for 10 days. We conclude that anti-PCSK9 antibodies may be effective therapeutics for treating hypercholesterolemia.

Figure 2.
Structure of the PCSK9:Fab1 complex. (A) Fab1 binds to PCSK9 at the catalytic site and interacts with residues from both the prodomain and catalytic domain. The binding of Fab1 to PCSK9 buries 2307 Å^2 total surface area. (B) Superposition of the PCSK9:Fab1 complex (pink and magenta) and the PCSK9:EGF-AB complex (11) (light cyan and cyan). Fab1 overlaps with the C-terminal side of the EGF-A domain from the LDLR.
Figure 4.
Changes in serum LDL-C after i.v. administration of mAb1 to cynomolgus monkeys. A single injection of mAb1 led to (A) a significant lowering of serum TC, observed as early as 8 h after administration of mAb1; (B) a significant lowering in serum LDL-C, with maximal lowering observed at 10 days after injection; and (C) a significant lowering of HDL-C at day 3 and day 7. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 vs. anti-KLH control antibody at the same time point, n = 4 per group. (D) Temporal relationship between free circulating PCSK9 levels and serum LDL-C after administration of mAb1.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time.
