PCSK9 Knockdown Can Improve Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury by Inhibiting Autophagy
This study investigates the effect and mechanism of proprotein convertase subtilisin/Kexin type 9 (PCSK9) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) and provides a reference for clinical prevention and treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We established a rat model of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) and AC16 hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model. A total of 48 adult 7-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 16): control, I/R, and I/R + SiRNA. In I/R and I/R + siRNA groups, myocardial ischemia was induced via occlusion of the left anterior descending branch (LAD) of t...
