Abstract Reducing circulating lipid levels is the centerpiece of strategies for preventing and treating atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Despite many available lipid-lowering medications, a substantial residual risk remains. Current clinical guidelines focus on plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Recent attention has been given to very (VLDL), precursor LDL, its role in development coronary atherosclerosis. Preclinical investigations have revealed that interventions targeting VLDL production or promoting metabolism, independent LDL receptor, can potentially decrease cholesterol provide therapeutic benefits. Currently, methods, such as mipomersen, lomitapide, ANGPTL3 inhibitors, are used reduce triglyceride by regulating lipidation, secretion, metabolism VLDL. Targeting represents an avenue new strategies. Interventions aimed at reducing enhancing hold promise lowering providing benefits beyond management ASCVD.

Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with elevated low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) levels being a major risk factor. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) plays critical role in regulating LDL‐C by promoting degradation hepatic receptors (LDLR) responsible for clearing from circulation. PCSK9 inhibitors novel lipid‐modifying agents that have demonstrated remarkable efficacy reducing plasma decreasing incidence CVD. However, broader clinical impacts functions beyond metabolism, including both desired undesired effects therapeutic inhibition, underscore urgent necessity to elucidate underlying mechanisms. Recent studies shown local vascular system can interact other such as CD36, LRP‐1, ABCA1. This provides new evidence supporting potential contribution CVD through LDLR‐independent signaling pathways. Therefore, this review aimed outline diverse on discuss mechanisms non‐cholesterol‐related processes, which will provide rational basis its long‐term pharmacological inhibition clinic.

Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is an important risk factor in the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Inhibitors proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), a negative regulator LDL-C metabolism, have emerged as promising approaches for reducing elevated levels. Here, we evaluated cholesterol-lowering efficacy virus-like particle (VLP) based vaccines that target epitopes found within LDL receptor (LDL-R) binding domain PCSK9. In both mice and non-human primates, bivalent VLP vaccine targeting two distinct on PCSK9 elicited strong durable antibody responses lowered macaques, single epitope was only effective at lowering levels combination with statins, whereas immunization without requiring statin co-administration. These data highlight alternative, vaccine-based approach LDL-C.
