Upregulation of brain renin angiotensin system by 27-hydroxycholesterol in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In spite of the fact that cholesterol does not pass the blood-brain barrier, hypercholesterolemia has been linked to increase Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk.

The nuclear cofactor receptor interacting protein-140 (RIP140) regulates the expression of genes involved in A beta generation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The receptor interacting protein-140 (RIP140) is a cofactor for several nuclear receptors and has been involved in the regulation of metabolic and inflammatory genes.

Cholesterol impairment contributes to neuroserpin aggregation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Intraneural accumulation of misfolded proteins is a common feature of several neurodegenerative pathologies including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and Familial Encephalopathy with Neuroserpin Inclusion Bodies (FENIB). FENIB is a rare disease due

Screening and Identification of APOC1 as a Novel Potential Biomarker for Differentiate of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in Children [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Although mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) is a common cause of community-acquired pneumonia in children, the currently used diagnostic methods are not optimal.

Neuronal Cholesterol Deficiency Mediated by Astrocytic SREBP2 Downregulation Leads to Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction Through Impairment of Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity and Excitatory Synaptic Transmission

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 23, 23 April 2026.
The results showed that the reduction of plasma 24‐hydroxycholesterol (24‐OHC) was related to the cognitive decline in elderly surgical patients. Neuroinflammation induced by anesthesia and surgery significantly downregulated SREBP2 in hippocampal reactive astrocytes, resulting in reduced cholesterol synthesis.

On the substrate specificity of human CYP27A1

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2003
The mitochondrial sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) is required for degradation of the C27-sterol side chain in bile acid biosynthesis. CYP27A1 seems, however, to have roles beyond this, as illustrated by patients with a deficient sterol 27-hydroxylase due

Engineering Lipid Nanoparticles for Precision RNA Delivery: Design Principles, Targeting Strategies, and Clinical Prospects

open access: yesCancer Nexus, Volume 2, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) represent the most clinically advanced platform for RNA delivery and have enabled major breakthroughs in vaccines and gene therapies. However, their broader application is still limited by inefficient extrahepatic delivery, immunogenicity, and insufficient control over tissue‐ and cell‐specific targeting. This review

Glucose transporter 3 is a rab11-dependent trafficking cargo and its transport to the cell surface is reduced in neurons of CAG140 Huntington’s disease mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Huntington’s disease (HD) disturbs glucose metabolism in the brain by poorly understood mechanisms. HD neurons have defective glucose uptake, which is attenuated upon enhancing rab11 activity.

Expression of junctional proteins in choroid plexus epithelial cell lines: a comparative study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background There is an increasing interest in using choroid plexus (CP) epithelial cell lines to study the properties of the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB). Currently, there are three major CP-derived cell lines available.

The antifungal drug voriconazole is an efficient inhibitor of brain cholesterol 24S-hydroxylase in vitro and in vivo

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2010
Cholesterol 24S-hydroxylase (CYP46A1) is of key importance for cholesterol homeostasis in the brain. This enzyme seems to be resistant toward most regulatory factors and at present no drug effects on its activity have been described.
