Novel route for elimination of brain oxysterols across the blood-brain barrier: conversion into 7α-hydroxy-3-oxo-4-cholestenoic acid

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2007
Recently, we demonstrated a net blood-to-brain passage of the oxysterol 27-hydroxycholesterol corresponding to 4–5 mg/day. As the steady-state levels of this sterol are only 1–2 μg/g brain tissue, we hypothesized that it is metabolized and subsequently ...

27-Hydroxycholesterol impairs neuronal glucose uptake through an IRAP/GLUT4 system dysregulation

open access: yes, 2017
Hypercholesterolemia is associated with cognitively deteriorated states. Here, we show that excess 27-hydroxycholesterol (27-OH), a cholesterol metabolite passing from the circulation into the brain, reduced in vivo brain glucose uptake, GLUT4 expression,

A panel of altered blood oxysterols in patients with mild cognitive impairment: A novel combined diagnostic marker

open access: yesPharmacological Research
Perturbed cholesterol metabolism may play an important role in the development of dementia and its preclinical stage, mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Oxysterols, the metabolites generated during cholesterol oxidation, also appear to be risk factors for ...

27-Hydroxycholesterol Promotes Cell-Autonomous, ER-Positive Breast Cancer Growth

open access: yes, 2013
SummaryTo date, estrogen is the only known endogenous estrogen receptor (ER) ligand that promotes ER+ breast tumor growth. We report that the cholesterol metabolite 27-hydroxycholesterol (27HC) stimulates MCF-7 cell xenograft growth in mice.

Serum 24S-hydroxycholesterol and hippocampal size in middle-aged normal individuals

open access: yes, 2009
The present study assessed the association between serum 24S-hydroxycholesterol (24S-OH-Chol) and 27-hydroxycholesterol (27-OH-Chol) and hippocampal volumes in 69 middle-aged cognitively normal individuals.

Lovastatin reversed the enhanced sphingomyelin caused by 27-hydroxycholesterol in cultured vascular endothelial cells

open access: yes, 2016
Statins have pleiotropic properties which are involved in inhibiting the thrombogenic response. In this study, the effects of lovastatin on two phospholipids, phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin, were studied in cultured endothelial cells in the ...

The Impact of Brain Cholesterol (24-hydroxycholesterol (24-HC) and 27- hydroxycholesterol (27-HC)) on Invitro Phenotypes of Brain Metastatic Breast Cancer Cells

open access: yes
Introduction: Brain metastases is one of the leading causes of breast cancer mortality and rates continue to increase. It has been previously shown that cholesterol metabolism is an important regulator of cancer progression.
