Figure 1 Methods of PCSK9 inhibition and theorized effects of PCSK9 on various receptors. Approaches to PCSK9 inhibition include binding of circulating PCSK9 by an anti-PCSK9 antibody, or small molecule inhibitor, to prevent internalization of the LDL-R; and siRNA, and antisense oligonucleotides that inhibit expression of the PCSK9 gene, resulting in decreased extracellular and intracellular PCSK9 levels. Inhibition of PCSK9 may have additional effects beyond the LDL-R and affect cell lines from other organ systems.
