Dendrogenin A drives LXR to trigger lethal autophagy in cancers
Dendrogenin A, cholesterol metabolite, has tumor suppressive properties but the mechanisms are unknown. Here the authors show that Dendrogenin A can induce autophagy-mediated cell death in both melanoma and acute myeloid leukaemia.

Feedback modulation of cholesterol metabolism by the lipid-responsive non-coding RNA LeXis. [PDF]
Liver X receptors (LXRs) are transcriptional regulators of cellular and systemic cholesterol homeostasis. Under conditions of excess cholesterol, LXR activation induces the expression of several genes involved in cholesterol efflux, facilitates ...

Unresolved excess accumulation of myelin-derived cholesterol contributes to scar formation after spinal cord injury [PDF]
Background: Spinal cord injury triggers complex pathological cascades, resulting in destructive tissue damage and incomplete tissue repair. Scar formation is generally considered as a barrier for regeneration in central nervous system (CNS), while the intrinsic mechanism of scar-forming after spinal cord injury has not been completed deciphered ...

27-Hydroxylation of oncosterone by CYP27A1 switches its activity from pro-tumor to anti-tumor
Oncosterone (6-oxo-cholestane-3β,5α-diol; OCDO) is an oncometabolite and a tumor promoter on estrogen receptor alpha-positive breast cancer (ER(+) BC) and triple-negative breast cancers (TN BC). OCDO is an oxysterol formed in three steps from cholesterol:
