MEGF8-mediated GDF8 phosphorylation drives TGF-β hyperactivation in osteoarthritis cartilage degeneration: Mechanism and targeted intervention.
(PubMed, Life Sci)
- "Virtual screening identified small molecular compounds, including Conivaptan, Noxafil, and Lomitapide, that targeted the complex interface and formed stable conformations with the protein complex, significantly inhibiting the pathological progression of OA. The MEGF8-GDF8-ACVR2B complex is a key switch for TGF-β hyperactivation in OA, and a drug repurposing strategy targeting this interface offers a new direction for the disease-modifying treatment of OA."

Heat stress enhances VLDL secretion in chicken ovarian follicles to potentiate its impact on follicular cell survival and maturation.
(PubMed, Poult Sci)
- "HS (42°C) for 8 hr (HS8H) or HS3H and following recovery at 37°C to 16 hr (3H13R) upregulated PCNA and/or IL-1β expressions in granulosa (GC) and theca (TH) cells and augmented progesterone (P4) and estradiol (E2) production, respectively. Surprisingly, Lomitapide and Mipomersen rescued TH cell viability at HS8H and 8H8R in association with alleviated lipid, MDA, and ROS accumulations, whereas GCs exhibited improved viability at HS8H, but not at 8H8R and 3H13R in couple with worse depletion of neutral lipids and cholesterol, suggesting that HS operates at VLDL production to alter cellular lipid dynamics to potentiate cell death, while TH cells are more thermoresistant due to a proficient adaption in lipid disposal. In conclusion, HS enhances VLDL production in hierarchical follicles to augment its impacts on follicular cell fate, but routine secretion of VLDL is obligatory to sustain follicle maturation under normal conditions, in which TH cells are highly..."

Long-term efficacy and safety of lomitapide in patients with familial chylomicronemia syndrome: Data from an expanded access program.
(PubMed, J Clin Lipidol)

A high-throughput screening approach to discover potential colorectal cancer chemotherapeutics: repurposing drugs to identify novel disruptors of 14-3-3 proteins.
(PubMed, Cell Death Dis)
- "Terfenadine, penfluridol, and lomitapide have potential to either be repurposed as chemotherapeutics, or more likely, used as starting points for novel lead development. The described assay cascade demonstrates the feasibility of both expanding on these compounds and identifying novel disruptors of 14-3-3ζ to develop pro-apoptotic agents to treat pathogenic aberrant cell growth."

Severe Hypertriglyceridemia in Pregnancy: A Case Highlighting Therapeutic Challenges
(AHA 2025)
- "Prior to conception, she had been treated with a biguanide for diabetes and a combination of fish oil, fenofibrate, and a statin for HTG, which were discontinued for fetal safety. Given the markedly elevated TG level, a multidisciplinary decision was made to urgently reinitiate lipid-lowering therapy with omega-3 acid ethyl esters 4g daily (Lovaza) and subcutaneous insulin glargine...Traditional lipid-lowering agents, including statins, PCSK9 inhibitors, ezetimibe, bempedoic acid, and lomitapide, are generally avoided during pregnancy due to limited fetal safety data...Thus, cardio-obstetric management of high-risk women with metabolic disorders should center around preconception risk assessment, multidisciplinary care, intensive lifestyle modification, selective use of non-statin agents or apheresis, and vigilant monitoring throughout pregnancy. There remains a significant gap in evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of lipid-lowering therapies during pregnancy,..."

Selective Degradation of Excess Free Cholesterol in the Liver by REP-0003 Regresses Atherosclerotic Plaque in Ldlr -/- Mice: A Novel Approach for HoFH
(AHA 2025)
- "In HoFH patients, statins and PCSK9 inhibitors are ineffective and, while new lipid-lowering therapies including angiopoietin-like 3 inhibitors and lomitapide offer hope, they have not been shown to effectively regress existing plaque, highlighting a critical unmet medical need...At euthanasia, tissues and blood were harvested and assessed for blood chemistries, serum biomarkers, atherosclerotic plaque burden, and histopathology.ResultsCompared with PBS, REP-0003 treatment significantly reduced serum alanine transaminase (ALT) levels by 40.5 ± 3.7% (P<0.01, indicating improved liver health), reduced serum ApoB levels by 23.9 ± 1.0% (P<0.01) and increased HDL free cholesterol fraction by 61.2 ± 5.8% (P<0.01). Versus controls, (a) aortic root plaque cross-sectional area and aortic tree plaque count/area were significantly reduced by 27.2 ± 4.8% (P<0.01) and 25.8 ± 1.8% (P<0.05), respectively, (b) plaque macrophage infiltration via..."

Functional MTTP and apoB for VLDL secretion in chicken ovaries support small follicle development under heat stress.
(PubMed, J Therm Biol)
- "Lomitapide and Mipomersen augmented lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and exacerbated transient impairment of estradiol secretion and cell proliferation in SYFs under 3 h HS and after recovery, but failed to rescue cell viability despite relieved ER and proteostatic stress. In conclusion, routine secretion of VLDL by SYFs serves as an intrinsic mechanism to sustain cell viability and functions to support the whole program required for follicle development, while under HS, this mechanism provisionally rescues steroidogenesis and cell proliferation."

Breaking barriers: Innovative therapies for managing homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
(PubMed, Exp Mol Pathol)
- "Recent advancements have introduced novel pharmacological agents for treating HoFH (e.g. evolocumab, alirocumab, inclisiran and bempedoic acid), including cholesterol-lowering strategies that function independently of LDL-R such as lomitapide and evinacumab offering significant promise for managing this condition. However, disparities in the treatment of HoFH persist across different regions and countries. In this context, the review provides a comprehensive overview of established treatment modalities and emerging therapeutic agents for individuals with HoFH."

A Comprehensive Review of the Latest Approaches to Managing Hypercholesterolemia: A Comparative Analysis of Conventional and Novel Treatments: Part II.
(PubMed, Pharmaceuticals (Basel))
- "It also examined non-pharmacological interventions and conventional therapies, with a detailed focus on statins and ezetimibe...It explores the mechanisms, clinical applications, safety profiles, and pharmacogenetic aspects of novel agents such as proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors (alirocumab, evolocumab), small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapy (inclisiran), adenosine triphosphate-citrate lyase (ACL) inhibitor (bempedoic acid), microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) inhibitor (lomitapide), and angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) inhibitor (evinacumab). These agents offer targeted strategies for patients with high residual cardiovascular risk, familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), or statin intolerance. By integrating the latest advances in precision medicine, this review underscores the expanding therapeutic landscape in dyslipidemia management and the evolving potential for individualized care."

Liver transplantation for homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia.
(PubMed, Curr Opin Lipidol)

This is mainly due to the adverse effects of life-long immunosuppressive drug therapy, which restricts the use of liver transplantation to those HoFH patients in whom optimal medical therapy has failed."

MTP Restricts Steroidogenesis in Leydig Cells by Regulating Srebp2
(ENDO 2025)
- "Inhibition of the MTP activity by lomitapide and sgRNA mediated knockdown significantly increased progesterone secretion in mouse Leydig MA10 cells after stimulation with cyclic AMP. In short, these studies identify a negative regulatory role of MTP in steroidogenesis and show that MTP regulates steroidogenesis in Leydig cells by modulating the expression and activity of Srebp2. Inhibition of testicular MTP might be useful to treat hypogonadism in some patients."

SRSF7 promotes pulmonary fibrosis through regulating PKM alternative splicing in lung fibroblasts.
(PubMed, Acta Pharm Sin B)
- "In this study, we identified an up-regulation of serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 7 (SRSF7) in lung fibroblasts derived from IPF patients and a bleomycin (BLM)-induced mouse model, and further characterized its functional role in both human fetal lung fibroblasts and mice. Importantly, through drug screening, we identified lomitapide as a novel modulator of SRSF7, which effectively mitigated experimental pulmonary fibrosis. Collectively, our findings elucidate a molecular pathway by which SRSF7 drives fibroblast metabolic dysregulation and propose a potential therapeutic strategy for pulmonary fibrosis."
