- W2163123432 abstract "Berberine (BBR), a natural plant extract, has been shown to improve lipid metabolism. However, its effects on PCSK9, a key factor involving in the lipid metabolism, have not yet been evaluated in vivo. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of BBR on PCSK9 expression in high fat diet-fed (HFD) rats. Thirty-two male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomized into the four groups (n = 8): normal diet (Control), HFD, HFD + simvastatin (Sim, 2 mg/kg/d) and HDF + BBR (400 mg/kg/d) for 6 weeks. The following parameters were determined: 1) body weight; 2) serum lipid profile; 3) serum PCSK9 measured by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) ; 4) hepatic expressions of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), sterol regulatory element binding protein-2 (SREBP-2) and hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 (HNF1) were examined by real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blotting analysis. Compared with HFD rats, Sim and BBR significantly reduced body weight gain and improved lipid profile (P < 0.05 respectively). In addition, either of drug treatment for 6 weeks could increase serum concentration of PCSK9 in HFD rats (P < 0.05). This enhanced PCSK9 expression was demonstrated to be associated with the up-regulation of hepatic expression of LDLR and SREBP-2 and the down-regulation of hepatic expression of HNF1 (P < 0.05 respectively). The data provided the first line of the evidence that BBR, similar to the Sim, could increase the expression of PCSK9 levels in HFD rats through SREBP-2 activation, suggesting that impacts of BBR on lipid profile may also be linked to SREBP-2 pathway." @default.
