Tracking cell cholesterol with cholesterol oxidase.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1992
Sterols are ubiquitous and essential constituents of all eukaryotic cells, found either esterified and stored in droplet form (l), or unesterified and integrated into bilayers (2) . Sterols not only play a major structural role in membranes, but serve as precursors for steroid hormones and bile acids (3). The distribution of cholesterol within the cell

NLRP3 inflamasomes are required for atherogenesis and activated by cholesterol crystals that form early in disease

Nature, 2010
The inflammatory nature of atherosclerosis is well established but the agent(s) that incite inflammation in the artery wall remain largely unknown. Germ-free animals are susceptible to atherosclerosis, suggesting that endogenous substances initiate the ...

SensRORing cholesterol to drive protumoral myelopoiesis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Bleve et al. uncover a cholesterol‐driven immune evasion pathway, where RORγ‐dependent myelopoiesis shapes tumor immunosuppression. Targeting RORγ and PCSK9 emerges as a strategy to boost cancer immunotherapy. Protumoral myelopoiesis is a determinant of immunoevasion and tumor spread in many malignancies.

Polyphenol alkyl ester inhibits membrane cholesterol domain formation through an antioxidant mechanism based, in nonlinear fashion, on chain length [PDF]

, 2017
Under conditions of oxidative stress, cholesterol aggregates into discrete membrane bilayer domains that precipitate the formation of extracellular crystals, a hallmark feature of the advanced atheroma in cardiovascular disease.

Structure and Function of Sphingolipid- and Cholesterol-rich Membrane Rafts*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
It is well known that separate domains with different lipid compositions can exist in liposomes containing mixtures of different phospholipids. The question of whether cellular membranes contain similar lipid domains has intrigued workers for many years.

Identifying prognostic targets in metastatic prostate cancer beyond AR

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Genome‐wide functional screens combined with a large gene expression database and clinical outcomes can identify new therapeutic vulnerabilities in prostate cancer. Eight potentially druggable targets demonstrated strong dependency in cell lines, were associated with worse prognosis clinically, and showed evidence of protein expression in prostate ...

Effect of phospholipids and bile acids on cholesterol nucleation time and vesicular/micellar cholesterol in gallbladder bile of patients with cholesterol stones [PDF]

, 1993
Supersaturation and rapid nucleation of cholesterol in bile are of key importance in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones. While the effects of bile acids and phospholipids on cholesterol saturation of bile have been extensively studied, their ...

Current trends in single‐cell RNA sequencing applications in diabetes mellitus

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Single‐cell RNA sequencing is a powerful approach to decipher the cellular and molecular landscape at a single‐cell resolution. The rapid development of this technology has led to a wide range of applications, including the detection of cellular and molecular mechanisms and the identification and introduction of novel potential diagnostic and ...

Linoleic acid intake, plasma cholesterol and 10-year incidence of CHD in 20.000 middle-aged men and women in the Netherlands [PDF]

, 2012
We studied the associations of a difference in linoleic acid or carbohydrate intake with plasma cholesterol levels and risk of CHD in a prospective cohort study in the Netherlands. Data on diet (FFQ) and plasma total and HDL-cholesterol were available at

Cis‐unsaturated sphingolipids support growth of sphingoid base‐deficient yeast but impair plasma membrane integrity

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Sphingoid base structures, the sphingolipid backbones, vary among species. We established yeast cells in which the native sphingoid base was replaced with plant‐type bases containing cis or trans double bonds. This is, to our knowledge, the first eukaryotic model mostly composed of sphingolipids containing cis‐unsaturated sphingoid base, providing a ...
