Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) regulates cholesterol metabolism by inducing the degradation of hepatic low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR). Plasma PCSK9 has two main molecular forms: a 62-kDa mature form (PCSK9_62) and a 55-kDa, furin-cleaved form (PCSK9_55). PCSK9_55 is considered less active than PCSK9_62 in degrading LDLR. We aimed to identify the site of PCSK9_55 formation (intra- vs. extracellular) and to further characterize the LDLR-degradative function of PCSK9_55 relative to PCSK9_62. Co-expressing PCSK9_62 with furin in cell culture induced formation of PCSK9_55, most of which was found in the extracellular space. Under the same conditions we found that: i) adding a cell-permeable furin inhibitor preferentially decreased the formation of PCSK9_55 extracellularly; ii) using pulse-chase, we observed the formation of PCSK9_55 exclusively extracellularly in a time-dependent manner. A recombinant form of PCSK9_55 was efficiently produced but displayed impaired secretion that resulted in its intracellular trapping. However, the non-secreted PCSK9_55 was able to induce degradation of LDLR, though with 50% lower efficiency compared with PCSK9_62. Collectively, our data show that PCSK9_55 is generated in the extracellular space, and that intracellular PCSK9_55 is not secreted but retains the ability to degrade the LDLR through an intracellular pathway.

关于 PCSK9 弗林蛋白酶裂解形式的动力学和动力学的见解。

前蛋白转化酶枯草杆菌蛋白酶/kexin 9 型 (PCSK9) 通过诱导肝脏低密度脂蛋白受体 (LDLR) 降解来调节胆固醇代谢。血浆 PCSK9 有两种主要分子形式:62 kDa 成熟形式 (PCSK9_62) 和 55 kDa 弗林蛋白酶裂解形式 (PCSK9_55)。PCSK9_55 在降解 LDLR 方面被认为不如 PCSK9_62 活跃。我们的目的是确定 PCSK9_55 形成的位点(细胞内与细胞外),并进一步表征 PCSK9_55 相对于 PCSK9_62 的 LDLR 降解功能。在细胞培养物中共表达 PCSK9_62 与弗林蛋白酶诱导 PCSK9_55 的形成,其中大部分存在于细胞外空间。在相同条件下,我们发现:i)添加细胞渗透性弗林蛋白酶抑制剂优先减少细胞外PCSK9_55的形成;ii) 使用脉冲追踪,我们观察到 PCSK9_55 仅在细胞外以时间依赖性方式形成。PCSK9_55 的重组形式被有效生产,但表现出分泌受损,导致其被困在细胞内。然而,非分泌型 PCSK9_55 能够诱导 LDLR 降解,但效率比 PCSK9_62 低 50%。总的来说,我们的数据表明 PCSK9_55 在细胞外空间中生成,细胞内 PCSK9_55 不分泌,但保留通过细胞内途径降解 LDLR 的能力。但与 PCSK9_62 相比效率低 50%。总的来说,我们的数据表明 PCSK9_55 在细胞外空间中产生,细胞内 PCSK9_55 不分泌,但保留通过细胞内途径降解 LDLR 的能力。但与 PCSK9_62 相比效率低 50%。总的来说,我们的数据表明 PCSK9_55 在细胞外空间中生成,细胞内 PCSK9_55 不分泌,但保留通过细胞内途径降解 LDLR 的能力。
