Conditional knockdown of hepatic PCSK9 ameliorates high-fat diet-induced liver inflammation in mice by Xue-Ying Zhang, Qing-Qing Lu, Yan-Jie Li, Shan-Rui Shi, Chao-Nan Ma, Miao Miao, Shou-Dong Guo

“…However, the roles of PCSK9 in hepatic inflammation remain unclear. Because PCSK9 is mainly expressed in the liver and modulates lipid uptake through low-density lipoprotein receptor family members, the present study aimed to elucidate the effect of conditional knockdown of hepatic PCSK9 on hyperlipidemia-induced inflammation and the underlying mechanisms of action.MethodsPCSK9flox/flox mice were bred with ALB-Cre+ mice to obtain hepatic PCSK9(−/−), PCSK9(+/−), and PCSK9(+/+) mice. …”
