Numerous genetic contributors to cardiovascular disease risk have been identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS); however, identifying the molecular mechanism underlying these associations is not straightforward. The JUPITER trial of rosuvastatin users identified a sub-genome wide association of rs6924995, a SNP ~10kb downstream of MYLIP (aka IDOL, inducible degrader of LDLR), with LDL cholesterol statin response. Interestingly, though this signal was initially attributed to MYLIP, rs6924995 lies within RP1-13D10.2, an uncharacterized long noncoding RNA. Using simvastatin and sham incubated lymphoblastoid cell lines from participants of the Cholesterol and Pharmacogenetics simvastatin clinical trial, we found that statin induced change in RP1-13D10.2 levels differed between cell lines from the tails of the Caucasian and African American LDLC response distributions, while no difference in MYLIP was observed. RP1-13D10.2 overexpression in Huh7 and HepG2 increased LDLR transcript levels, increased LDL uptake, and decreased media levels of APOB. In addition, we found a trend of slight differences in the effects of RP1-13D10.2 overexpression on LDLR transcript levels between hepatoma cells transfected with the rs6924995 “A” vs. “G” allele, and a suggestion of an association between rs6924995 and RP1-10D13.2 expression levels in the CAP LCLs. Lastly, RP1-13D10.2 expression levels appear to be sterol regulated, consistent with its potential role as a novel lipid regulator. RP1-13D10.2 is a long noncoding RNA that regulates LDLR and may contribute to LDLC response to statin treatment. These findings highlight the potential role of non-coding RNAs as determinants of inter-individual variation in drug response.
