Sortilin regulates hepatic exocytosis and endocytosis of ApoB containing lipoproteins (ApoB-Lp) and mediates the secretion of the subtilase PCSK9. To elucidate connections between these pathways, we previously identified a small molecule (cpd984) that binds to a non-canonical site on Sortilin. In hepatic cells cpd984 augments ApoB-Lp secretion, increases cellular PCSK9 levels, and reduces LDLR expression indicative of reduced secretion of PCSK9. We have shown that insulin-induced ApoB-Lp degradation occurs through Vps34-dependent autophagy. Here we show that the specific Vps34 inhibitor PIK-III enhances ApoB-100 secretion, reducing cellular levels of PCSK9 and Sortilin resulting in reduced LDLR expression, which implicates a role for autophagy in PCSK9 secretion. Results suggest that Sortilin is central to both PCSK9 and ApoB-100 secretion. Finally, we found that cpd984 in yeast blocks CPY secretion while increasing vacuolar homotypic fusion in a Vps10-dependent manner, indicating an evolutionarily conserved mechanism required for lysosomal protease trafficking.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
