Achievement introduction: 

A population genetic study identified that the asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGR1) mutation carriers had substantially lower non–HDL-c levels and reduced risks of cardiovascular diseases. However, the mechanism behind this phenomenon remained unclear. Here, we established Asgr1-knockout mice that represented a plasma lipid profile with significantly lower non–HDL-c and triglyceride caused by decreased secretion and increased uptake of VLDL/LDL. These 2 phenotypes were linked with fewer nuclear SREBPs (nSREBP). Furthermore, we demonstrated that increased insulin-induced gene 1 (INSIG1) is a critical factor responsible for ASGR1 deficiency–associated lipid profile changes and nSREBP suppression. This finding of an ASGR1/INSIG1/SREBP axis regulating lipid hemostasis may provide multiple potential targets for lipid-lowering drug development.
