Cancer is a disease with a significant global burden in terms of premature mortality, loss of productivity, healthcare expenditures, and impact on mental health. Recent decades have seen numerous advances in cancer research and treatment options. Recently, a new role of cholesterol-lowering PCSK9 inhibitor therapy has come to light in the context of cancer. PCSK9 is an enzyme that induces the degradation of low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLRs), which are responsible for clearing cholesterol from the serum. Thus, PCSK9 inhibition is currently used to treat hypercholesterolemia, as it can upregulate LDLRs and enable cholesterol reduction through these receptors. The cholesterol-lowering effects of PCSK9 inhibitors have been suggested as a potential mechanism to combat cancer, as cancer cells have been found to increasingly rely on cholesterol for their growth needs. Additionally, PCSK9 inhibition has demonstrated the potential to induce cancer cell apoptosis through several pathways, increase the efficacy of a class of existing anticancer therapies, and boost the host immune response to cancer. A role in managing cancer- or cancer treatment-related development of dyslipidemia and life-threatening sepsis has also been suggested. This review examines the current evidence regarding the effects of PCSK9 inhibition in the context of different cancers and cancer-associated complications.
癌症是一种具有重大全球负担的疾病,其表现为过早死亡、生产力丧失、医疗保健支出以及对心理健康的影响。近几十年来,癌症研究和治疗选择取得了许多进展。最近,在癌症的背景下,胆固醇降低的 PCSK9 抑制剂治疗的新作用引起了人们的关注。PCSK9 是一种诱导 LDLR 降解的酶,LDLR 负责从血清中清除胆固醇。因此,PCSK9 抑制目前用于治疗高胆固醇血症,因为它可以上调 LDLR 并通过这些受体实现胆固醇的降低。PCSK9 抑制剂的降胆固醇作用被认为是对抗癌症的一种潜在机制,因为已经发现癌细胞越来越依赖胆固醇来满足其生长需求。此外,PCSK9 抑制已被证明具有通过多种途径诱导癌细胞凋亡、增加现有一类抗癌疗法的疗效以及增强宿主对癌症的免疫反应的潜力。在管理癌症或癌症治疗相关的血脂异常和危及生命的败血症方面也发挥了作用。这篇综述检查了关于 PCSK9 抑制在不同癌症和癌症相关并发症背景下的影响的现有证据。
