There are two major pathways of bile acid synthesis: the “neutral” pathway, initiated by highly regulated microsomal cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1), and an “alternative” pathway, initiated by mitochondrial sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1).

Modules identification in gene positive networks of hepatocellular carcinoma using pearson agglomerative method and Pearson cohesion coupling modularity [PDF]
In this study, a gene positive network is proposed based on a weighted undirected graph, where the weight represents the positive correlation of the genes.

ApoA-I mimetic administration, but not increased apoA-I-containing HDL, inhibits tumour growth in a mouse model of inherited breast cancer [PDF]
Low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc) have been associated with breast cancer risk, but several epidemiologic studies have reported contradictory results with regard to the relationship between apolipoprotein (apo) A-I and breast ...

Background Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare lipid-storage disease. We investigated the clinic manifestation, histopathology and sterol 27-hydroxylase gene (CYP27A1) in a Chinese family with Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (CTX).

Abstract 199: Host CYP27A1 expression is essential for ovarian cancer progression
Abstract Ovarian cancer continues to have a high mortality and recurrence rate. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop new therapeutic or lifestyle strategies. In this regard, epidemiological studies have implicated elevated cholesterol as a negative prognostic factor.

Reduced Plasma Levels of 25-Hydroxycholesterol and Increased Cerebrospinal Fluid Levels of Bile Acid Precursors in Multiple Sclerosis Patients [PDF]
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS). We have measured the levels of over 20 non-esterified sterols in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients suffering from MS, inflammatory CNS ...

Selective inhibition of CYP27A1 and of chenodeoxycholic acid synthesis in cholestatic hamster liver
The aim of this study was to explore the regulation of serum cholic acid (CA)/chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) ratio in cholestatic hamster induced by ligation of the common bile duct for 48 h. The serum concentration of total bile acids and CA/CDCA ratio were significantly elevated, and the serum proportion of unconjugated bile acids to total bile acids ...

Differential expression and co-expression gene networks reveal candidate biomarkers of boar taint in non-castrated pigs [PDF]
Boar taint (BT) is an offensive odour or taste observed in pork from a proportion of non-castrated male pigs. Surgical castration is effective in avoiding BT, but animal welfare issues have created an incentive for alternatives such as genomic selection.
