1 Rapamycin down-regulates LDL-receptor expression independently of SREBP-2. Sirolimus low density lipoprotein receptor Homo sapiens
2 However, LDL-receptor gene expression was decreased by rapamycin, suggesting that this may contribute to the hyperlipidaemia observed in rapamycin-treated patients. Sirolimus low density lipoprotein receptor Homo sapiens
3 However, LDL-receptor gene expression was decreased by rapamycin, suggesting that this may contribute to the hyperlipidaemia observed in rapamycin-treated patients. Sirolimus low density lipoprotein receptor Homo sapiens
4 Rapamycin did not affect mRNA stability, so the decrease in LDL-receptor gene expression is likely to be occurring at the transcriptional level, although independently of SREBP-2. Sirolimus low density lipoprotein receptor Homo sapiens
