Sortilin is a member of the Vps10p sorting receptor family.[3]Crystallization studies of the protein reveal that, when complexed with the ligandneurotensin, the Vps10 ectodomain of sortilin forms a ten-bladed beta-propeller structure with an inner tunnel that contains multiple ligand binding sites.[14] To prevent premature ligand binding during its synthesis, the precursor protein of sortilin contains a 44-amino acidpro-peptide that serves as a chaperone for the Vps10p domain.[15] In addition, two hydrophobic loops have been detected in this domain and act to anchor the protein in the cell membrane.[16]
Given its function in facilitating lysosomal degradation or recycling of ligands in lipid metabolism[7][9][22][23][24] and the neural system,[25] sortilin likely plays an important role in the underlying mechanisms and pathophysiology of atherogenesis and coronary artery disease, as well as in neurological disorders. For example, sortilin has been identified as an important receptor for brain apolipoprotein E (APOE) metabolism, which is implicated in the underlying mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease.[25][26][27][28] Interestingly, a significant role for sortilin has recently also been reported in the field of oncology, as it has been detected in several cancer cell lines. Notably, human cancerous epithelial cells exhibited increased levels of sortilin as compared to normal epithelial tissues. Furthermore, it appears that sortilin participates in the progression of breast cancer and contributes to tumor cell adhesion and invasion.[10][11]
Clinical marker
In 2007, chromosome 1p13.3 was identified as a promising locus through a genome-wide approach in patients with coronary artery disease.[29] Subsequently, accumulating evidence suggests that the SORT1 gene at the 1p13 locus is an important risk factor for coronary artery disease, which is attributed to lipid metabolism disorders.[29][30][31] As the role of sortilin in lipid metabolism and the development of atherosclerosis has been established, a recent study further reported that increased release of soluble sortilin from platelets, measured as circulating sortilin, may be associated with in vivo platelet activation.[32] This observation also indicates that sortilin has a potential application as a clinical biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis.[6][32] Additionally, a multi-locus genetic risk score study, based on a combination of 27 loci including the SORT1 gene, identified individuals at increased risk for both incident and recurrent coronary artery disease events, as well as an enhanced clinical benefit from statin therapy. The study was based on a community cohort study (the Malmo Diet and Cancer study) and four additional randomized controlled trials of primary prevention cohorts (JUPITER and ASCOT) and secondary prevention cohorts (CARE and PROVE IT-TIMI 22).[12]
