Quercetin-3-glucoside increases low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) expression, attenuates proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (PCSK9) secretion, and stimulates LDL uptake by Huh7 human hepatocytes in culture
2014
Overview
•Quercetin-3-glucoside can increase LDLR expression by hepatocytes.•Quercetin-3-glucoside can reduce PCSK9 secretion by hepatocytes.•Quercetin-3-glucoside can down regulate sortilin expression.•Quercetin-3-glucoside can increase LDL uptake by hepatocytes.•Quercetin-3-glucoside is a potential anti-cholesterolemic agent.
Low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) mediates hepatic clearance of plasma cholesterol; proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (PCSK9) opposes this clearance by promoting LDLR degradation. The plant flavonoid quercetin-3-β-d-glucoside (Q3G) has been shown to reduce hypercholesterolemia in experimental animals. Here, we examined how it affects LDLR and PCSK9 expression as well as LDL uptake by human Huh7 hepatocytes. At low micromolar concentrations, Q3G increased LDLR expression, reduced PCSK9 secretion, and stimulated LDL uptake. It also diminished intracellular sortilin, a sorting receptor known to facilitate PCSK9 secretion. Thus, as an LDLR inducer and a PCSK9 anti-secretagogue, Q3G may represent an effective anti-cholesterolemic agent.
