Altered Cholesterol Homeostasis in Huntington’s Disease
Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by an expansion of the CAG repeat in the first exon of Huntingtin’s gene.

Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of SLC11A1 functioning as an H+/Fe2+ antiporter–mediated lysosomal iron accumulation in microglia promotes lysosomal lumen acidification, increases CTSD expression, enhances lysosomal myelin debris uptake and degradation, and promotes repair following white matter stroke. ABSTRACT White matter stroke (WMS) results

The CH24H metabolite, 24HC, blocks viral entry by disrupting intracellular cholesterol homeostasis
Cholesterol-24-hydroxylase (CH24H or Cyp46a1) is a reticulum-associated membrane protein that plays an irreplaceable role in cholesterol metabolism in the brain and has been well-studied in several neuro-associated diseases in recent years.

Neuroendocrine Regulation of Metabolism [PDF]
Given the current environment in most developed countries, it is a challenge to maintain a good balance between calories consumed and calories burned, although maintenance of metabolic balance is key to good health. Therefore, understanding how metabolic

Excitotoxicity increases the release of 24S-hydroxycholesterol via CYP46A1 activation [PDF]
Background Excitotoxicity, a common hallmark of different neurological disorders including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), is the consequence of exacerbated neuronal stimulation and leads to a high influx of calcium trough membrane glutamate receptors [1]. On the other hand, high levels of the cholesterol metabolite 24S-hydroxycholesterol (24-HC) have been ...

A CYPome-wide study reveals new potential players in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease
Genetic and environmental factors lead to the manifestation of Parkinson’s disease (PD) but related mechanisms are only rudimentarily understood. Cytochromes P450 (P450s) are involved in the biotransformation of toxic compounds and in many physiological ...

Charge-tagging liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry methodology targeting oxysterol diastereoisomers [PDF]
The introduction of a hydroxy group to the cholesterol skeleton introduces not only the possibility for positional isomers but also diastereoisomers, where two or more isomers have different configurations at one or more of the stereocentres but are not ...

CYP46A1 gene therapy deciphers the role of brain cholesterol metabolism in Huntington’s disease [PDF]
AbstractDysfunctions in brain cholesterol homeostasis have been extensively related to brain disorders. The main pathway for brain cholesterol elimination is its hydroxylation into 24S-hydroxycholesterol by the cholesterol 24-hydrolase, CYP46A1.
