Inactivation of ANGPTL3 reduces hepatic VLDL-triglyceride secretion

Abstract: This article is available online at http://www.jlr.org an enzyme that catalyzes an early step in cholesterol biosynthesis, effectively lower plasma LDL-C levels and prevent CHD ( 2 ). Human genetic studies have provided several new targets for LDL-C lowering. Individuals who lack ApoB ( 3 ), or microsomal transfer protein (MTP), the enzyme that transfers TG to TG-rich lipoproteins in the liver and intestine ( 4 ), have very low LDL levels. Agents that suppress ApoB expression ( 5 ) or inhibit MTP activity ( 6 … Show more

“…The reductions achieved correlated with baseline lipid levels. Similar results have been reported with evinacumab (REGN-1500), an antibody-based inhibitor of ANGPTL3 [62]. A dose-ranging study of evinacumab in three patients with HoFH showed it could reduce LDL-C by 46% [63].…”

“…In fact, the attenuated postprandial lipemia together with reduced flux of FFAs directed to the liver may explain the lower VLDL secretion rate and fasting TG reported in homozygous FHBL2 (13) and recently confirmed during antibody-mediated inhibition of ANGPTL3 (48). Moreover, the faster hepatic removal of remnants may decrease the fraction that is converted in circulation into LDL, thereby lowering LDL production and fasting LDL-C levels.…”
