PCSK9 Inhibition Protects Against Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Type 2 Diabetes Rats Via Suppressing Inflammation and Apoptosis. (PubMed, Anatol J Cardiol)
Alirocumab and atorvastatin effectively attenuated myocardial I/R injury in T2DM by modulating lipid metabolism, inflammation, and apoptosis. Diabetes substantially intensified I/R-induced cardiac injury, underscoring the importance of metabolic control in cardioprotection. #Means they contributed equally to the article.

Alirocumab therapy effectively suppresses colorectal cancer cell Growth and invasion in nude mouse liver-PCSK9 is a key driver of PI3K/Akt/p-Bad-mediated cell proliferation and antiapoptotic signaling. (PubMed, Int J Surg)
Alirocumab-facilitated 5-FU therapy effectively suppresses PCSK9-promoted CRC proliferation/growth/invasion, highlighting that alirocumab therapy may be an alternative choice of adjuvant therapy in combination with surgery or chemotherapy.

The use of monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of atherosclerosis: current status and prospects. (PubMed, Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand))
Notably, anti-PCSK9 antibodies like alirocumab and evolocumab have demonstrated significant reductions in LDL-C levels and cardiovascular events in large-scale clinical trials. Overall, monoclonal antibody therapy represents a significant advancement in the management of atherosclerosis, with ongoing research aimed at optimizing efficacy, safety, and accessibility. Future directions include the development of novel mAbs and combination therapies to further improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with atherosclerotic disease.
