25-Hydroxycholesterol Inhibition of Lassa Virus Infection through Aberrant GP1 Glycosylation
Lassa virus (LASV) infection is a major public health concern due to high fatality rates and limited effective treatment. The interferon-stimulated gene cholesterol 25-hydroxylase (CH25H) encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the production of 25 ...

25-Hydroxycholesterol exacerbates vascular leak during acute lung injury
Cholesterol-25-hydroxylase (CH25H), the biosynthetic enzyme for 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC), is most highly expressed in the lung, but its role in lung biology is poorly defined.

The stability of mRNA influences the temporal order of the induction of genes encoding inflammatory molecules [PDF]
The inflammatory response plays out over time in a reproducible and organized way after an initiating stimulus. Here we show that genes activated in cultured mouse fibroblasts in response to the cytokine tumor necrosis factor could be categorized into ...

Eimeria bovis infection modulates endothelial host cell cholesterol metabolism for successful replication [PDF]
During first merogony Eimeria bovis forms large macromeronts in endothelial host cells containing >120 000 merozoites I. During multiplication, large amounts of cholesterol are indispensable for the enormous offspring membrane production.

Disruption of cholesterol homeostasis triggers periodontal inflammation and alveolar bone loss
Oral diseases exhibit a significant association with metabolic syndrome, including dyslipidemia. However, direct evidence supporting this relationship is lacking, and the involvement of cholesterol metabolism in the pathogenesis of periodontitis (PD) has

Identifying Reliable Diagnostic/Predictive Biomarkers for Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]
Introduction and objective: Elevated C-reactive protein is usually a good indicator of rheumatoid arthritis (RA); however, there are limitations that compromise its specificity and therefore there is an urgent need to identify more reliable diagnostic ...

Influenza virus NS1 protein binds cellular DNA to block transcription of antiviral genes [PDF]
Influenza NS1 protein is an important virulence factor that is capable of binding double-stranded (ds) RNA and inhibiting dsRNA-mediated host innate immune responses. Here we show that NS1 can also bind cellular dsDNA.
