Expression

Organism	Comment	Expression
Homo sapiens	cholesterol (0.1 mM) solubilized in albumin or micelles significantly downregulates PCSK9 gene (30%) and protein expression (50%) in Caco-2/15 cells. Cells treated with 25-hydroxycholesterol (0.05 mM) also display significant reduction in PCSK9 gene (37%) and protein (75%) expression. Addition of bile acids taurocholate and deoxycholate to the apical culture medium lowers PCSK9 gene expression (25%) and raises PCSK9 protein expression (30%), respectively, probably via the modulation of farnesoid X receptor	down
Homo sapiens	amounts of PCSK9 mRNA and protein in Caco-2/15 cells are associated to the regulation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase and sterol regulatory element binding protein-2 that can transcriptionally activate PCSK9 via sterol-regulatory elements located in its proximal promoter region. Depletion of cholesterol content by hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin upregulates PCSK9 transcripts (20%) and protein mass (540%), in parallel with sterol regulatory element binding protein-2 protein levels	up
