Effects of drugs and sterols on cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity in rat liver microsomes

Journal of Lipid Research, 1983
This study examined the effects of various drugs and sterols on the rate of 7alpha-hydroxycholesterol synthesis in isolated rat liver microsomes. Cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase activity was significantly inhibited by proadifen (98%), metyrapone (67 ...

Cholesterol‐Mediated Metabolic‐mechanotransductive Crosstalk Orchestrates Castration Resistance in Prostate Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Full androgen deprivation (FAD) induces paracrine cholesterol in prostate cancer that drives the polarization of cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and subsequent elevated matrix stiffness. Matrix stiffness in turn potentiates tumor cell survival under FAD pressure via dual mechanotransductive activation of the IRE1α‐XBP1s stress‐response axis ...

Plasma levels of 24S-hydroxycholesterol in patients with neurological diseases

, 2000
The brain is the exclusive or almost exclusive site of formation of 24S-hydroxycholesterol and we have shown that the circulating level of 24S-hydroxycholesterol is dependent upon the relation between cerebral production and hepatic clearance.

Cholesterol and 27-hydroxycholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylation: evidence for two different enzymes.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993
The use of 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin as a vehicle for solubilizing cholesterol and 27-hydroxycholesterol has led to a study of their rates of 7 alpha-hydroxylation in microsomal preparations from hamster liver and HepG2 cells.

Pharmacokinetic profiling of imatinib in relation to CYP3A4 activity in leukaemia patients

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Imatinib pharmacokinetics exhibit large interindividual variability because of differences in CYP3A4 activity—the main imatinib‐metabolizing enzyme. While therapeutic drug monitoring is effective, it requires steady‐state conditions and frequent sampling.

Effect of 25-hydroxycholesterol, 26-hydroxycholesterol and its analogue, 26-aminocholesterol, on protein content, protein synthesis and LDH leakage in mouse epidermal cells

, 1995
The cytotoxicity of 25-hydroxycholesterol, 26-hydroxycholesterol and its analogue, 26-aminocholesterol was investigated in murine epidermal cell line, HEL-30.

In vivo formation of 25-hydroxycholesterol from endogenous cholesterol after a single meal, dietary cholesterol challenge.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1994
The role of oxysterols as regulatory molecules in the suppression of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase activity was investigated in the intact rat in response to an acute dietary cholesterol challenge.

Orchestrating the metastatic symphony: the role of extracellular vesicles in the epithelial–mesenchymal transition and pulmonary niche formation of breast cancer

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The complexity of breast cancer (BC) lung metastasis lies in the capacity of tumour cells to interact efficiently with distant organs to promote colonisation, a process that involves the sophisticated coordination of inherent cellular plasticity and the remodelling of the distant microenvironment.

Cholesterol homeostasis in human brain: turnover of 24S-hydroxycholesterol and evidence for a cerebral origin of most of this oxysterol in the circulation

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
We have previously demonstrated that the brain contains about 80% of the 24S-hydroxycholesterol in the human body and that there is a net flux of this steroid from the brain into the circulation (Lütjohann, D. et al. 1996. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 93:

Application of Virtual Twin PBPK Models in Individuals with Obesity via CYP3A4 Phenotyping Using Endogenous Biomarker Data

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Plasma 4β‐hydroxycholesterol (4β‐OHC) normalized for the levels of its parent cholesterol (4β‐OHC/C) is an endogenous biomarker for hepatic CYP3A4. This study evaluated CYP3A4 activity longitudinally in individuals while their obesity status was changing. 4β‐OHC/C was measured pre‐surgery (n = 54) and 2 years after Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (n = 30) and
