Metabolism of oxysterols derived from nonenzymatic oxidation of 7-dehydrocholesterol in cells[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Recent studies suggest that 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC)-derived oxysterols play important roles in the pathophysiology of Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS), a metabolic disorder that is caused by defective 3β-hydroxysterol-Δ7-reductase (DHCR7). Although

Colorectal cancer‐derived FGF19 is a metabolically active serum biomarker that exerts enteroendocrine effects on mouse liver

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 6, Page 1494-1512, June 2026.
Meta‐transcriptome analysis identified FGF19 as a peptide enteroendocrine hormone associated with colorectal cancer prognosis. In vivo xenograft models showed release of FGF19 into the blood at levels that correlated with tumor volumes. Tumoral‐FGF19 altered murine liver metabolism through FGFR4, thereby reducing bile acid synthesis and increasing ...

Unveiling a New Link: Cholesterol Deficiency in Smith–Lemli–Opitz and Niemann–Pick C as a Driver of Ciliopathies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 6, Page 1179-1191, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by defective function of either the primary cilia (a large number) or the motile cilia (a much smaller number). These have been defined as diseases with mutations in genes encoding individual ciliary or cilia‐associated proteins.

Spinal 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase dependent cholesterol overload regulates astrocyte activation and mGluR5/ERK cascades via monocyte chemotactic protein 3 in tibial fracture-induced chronic pain in mice

Neuroscience Research
Patients with bone fractures commonly experience an exasperating and long-lasting pain following orthopedic procedures. Spinal monocyte chemotactic protein 3 (MCP-3)-encoding astrogliosis and mGluR5-mediated excitatory synaptic plasticity are essential ...

CYP46A1‐Targeted Treatment Alleviates Long‐Term White Matter Injury Following Traumatic Brain Injury by Promoting Cholesterol Metabolic Clearance and Remyelination

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that CYP46A1 plays a critical role in regulating cholesterol homeostasis in microglia and that the targeting of CYP46A1 may offer a viable therapeutic approach for traumatic brain injury (TBI). The CYP46A1 activator Efavirenz reduces white matter damage by increasing the levels of the cholesterol metabolite 24OHC, thereby ...

Biological activities of 7-dehydrocholesterol-derived oxysterols: implications for Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is a metabolic and developmental disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding the enzyme 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (Dhcr7).

Metal‐dependent regulated cell death: Molecular architecture and translational frontiers

iMeta, Volume 5, Issue 3, June 2026.
Intracellular metal dyshomeostasis orchestrates distinct regulated cell death programs, including iron‐driven ferroptosis, copper‐mediated cuproptosis, calcicoptosis, newly designated zincoptosis, mnoptosis, and coptosis. This review systematically delineates their molecular architectures—spanning from Sorafenib‐induced lipid peroxidation and ...

Targeting Brain Cholesterol Homeostasis in Alzheimer's Disease: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Perspectives

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 6, June 2026.
Brain cholesterol homeostasis is tightly regulated and largely independent of peripheral cholesterol. This review proposes a unifying framework in which aging, sex, and related biological stressors, including hypercholesterolemia, neurodegeneration, inflammation, and oxidative stress, converge to disrupt cholesterol homeostasis in the brain ...

Neuronal Cholesterol Deficiency Mediated by Astrocytic SREBP2 Downregulation Leads to Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction Through Impairment of Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity and Excitatory Synaptic Transmission

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 23, 23 April 2026.
The results showed that the reduction of plasma 24‐hydroxycholesterol (24‐OHC) was related to the cognitive decline in elderly surgical patients. Neuroinflammation induced by anesthesia and surgery significantly downregulated SREBP2 in hippocampal reactive astrocytes, resulting in reduced cholesterol synthesis.
