Oxysterols and Their Cellular Effectors [PDF]
Oxysterols are oxidized 27-carbon cholesterol derivatives or by-products of cholesterol biosynthesis, with a spectrum of biologic activities. Several oxysterols have cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic activities, the ability to interfere with the lateral domain

Herpes Simplex Virus Infection With Multiple Cerebral Hemorrhages: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection may trigger rare vascular complications that lead to multiple cerebral hemorrhages. This case emphasizes considering HSV in unexplained cerebral hemorrhage among immunocompromised individuals with systemic symptoms, as timely antiviral treatment effectively improves clinical outcomes.

p90 ribosomal S6 kinases play a significant role in early gene regulation in the cardiomyocyte response to Gq protein-coupled receptor stimuli, endothelin-1 and α1-adrenergic receptor agonists [PDF]
Extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) and their substrates, p90 ribosomal S6 kinases (RSKs), phosphorylate different transcription factors, contributing differentially to transcriptomic profiles.

RORα and 25-Hydroxycholesterol Crosstalk Regulates Lipid Droplet Homeostasis in Macrophages. [PDF]
Nuclear hormone receptors have important roles in the regulation of metabolic and inflammatory pathways. The retinoid-related orphan receptor alpha (Rorα)-deficient staggerer (sg/sg) mice display several phenotypes indicative of aberrant lipid metabolism,

LL‐37 Inhibits TMPRSS2‐Mediated S2' Site Cleavage and SARS‐CoV‐2 Infection but Not Omicron Variants
Cathelicidin LL‐37 inhibits SARS‐CoV‐2 by blocking the catalytic activity of TMPRSS2. The N764K mutation in the spike S2 subunit of Omicron variants confers resistance to LL‐37‐induced inhibition of TMPRSS2‐mediated S2' priming. ABSTRACT Continual evolution of SARS‐CoV‐2 spike drives the emergence of Omicron variants that show increased spreading and ...

Activation of liver X receptor plays a central role in antiviral actions of 25-hydroxycholesterol
Production of 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC), a potent inhibitor of viral infection, is catalyzed by cholesterol 25-hydroxylase (CH25H). We previously reported that 25HC induced CH25H expression in a liver X receptor (LXR)-dependent manner, implying that ...

24p3R is an astrocytic receptor for α‐Syn uptake. When LCN2 is secreted from astrocytes, it binds to its receptor 24p3R in astrocytes and this binding impedes the α‐Syn PFF binding to 24p3R. This in turn inhibits 24p3R‐mediated α‐Syn PFF uptake and reduces the clearance of extracellular α‐Syn by astrocytes, which contributes to α‐Syn spread and ...
