Knockdown of hnRNP D, hnRNP I, and KSRP led to an increase of over 50% in LDLR mRNA levels and a concomitant 40% increase in LDLR protein abundance and LDL uptake.
“Notably, knockdown of the latter led to an increase of over 50 % in LDLR mRNA levels, and a concomitant 40 % increase in LDLR protein abundance and LDL uptake.”
From The low-density lipoprotein receptor: Emerging post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms (2025) · cites this paper as [29]
The Results report that depletion of hnRNP D, hnRNP I, and KSRP increased LDLR mRNA by more than 50% and increased LDLR protein expression. They report LDL uptake increases of 35%, 50%, and 41%, respectively, but do not give a 40% figure for protein abundance. Thus the claimed magnitude is supported approximately for KSRP-related uptake, not for protein abundance. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredAmong the identified RBPs, AUH, CPSF1, and GRSF1 act as stabilizing factors, while hnRNP D, hnRNP I, and KSRP are destabilizing factors.
“Among these, AUH, CPSF1, and GRSF1 were found to act as stabilizing factors, while hnRNP D, hnRNP I, and KSRP are destabilizing factors [29].”
From The low-density lipoprotein receptor: Emerging post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms (2025) · cites this paper as [29]
The Results report that depleting AUH, CPSF1, or GRSF1 reduced LDLR mRNA expression, consistent with a protective role, but the paper does not establish that these three directly stabilize the mRNA. It explicitly identifies hnRNP D, hnRNP I, and KSRP as negative regulators of LDLR mRNA stability (Abstract; Results). (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredAUH, CPSF1, and GRSF1 bind to AREs in the 3′UTR and stabilize LDLR mRNA, increasing LDLR.

From The low-density lipoprotein receptor: Emerging post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms (2025) · cites this paper as [29]
The Results (page unavailable) report that depleting AUH, CPSF1, or GRSF1 reduced LDLR mRNA levels by 36–44%, supporting a role in maintaining its expression. But the paper does not establish that these three proteins bind the AREs or directly stabilize LDLR mRNA; its ARE-binding experiments identify hnRNP D, hnRNP I, and KSRP instead. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredCSDE1, hnRNPD, hnRNPI, KSRP, ZFP36L1, and ZFP36L2 bind to AREs in the 3′UTR and lead to degradation of LDLR mRNA, decreasing LDLR.

From The low-density lipoprotein receptor: Emerging post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms (2025) · cites this paper as [29]
The Abstract (page not provided) states that hnRNP D, hnRNP I, and KSRP bind AREs in the LDLR 3′UTR and that silencing them increases LDLR mRNA and protein levels, supporting their role in promoting decay. The passages do not establish the same binding and decay-promoting role for CSDE1, ZFP36L1, or ZFP36L2. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredHuR and ZFP36L1 were considered likely candidates because they have been reported to modulate LDLR mRNA stability in response to agents that activate ERK and their mechanisms have been partially resolved.
“These two proteins were considered to be likely candidates, because (1) they have been reported to modulate LDLR mRNA stability in response to agents that activate ERK and (2) the mechanisms underlying their regulatory effect on LDLR mRNA stability have been partially resolved [9,13,14,15].”

The Results (page not supplied) report that ELAVL1 (HuR) depletion diminished berberine’s effect on LDLR mRNA expression, supporting a role for HuR in the response. Our copy does not report a comparable finding for ZFP36L1 or partially resolve the mechanisms of these two proteins. It identifies berberine-related regulation but does not establish the claimed ERK link for both proteins. (LLM, conf=0.82)

The paper’s abstract identifies hnRNP D, hnRNP I, and KSRP as regulators of LDLR mRNA stability, but does not identify HuR as a stabilizer. A search for HuR found it in titles of cited works, not in a passage linking HuR to LDLR mRNA stability; the claim cannot be verified from our copy. (LLM, conf=0.73)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
