Inhibition of Marek’s Disease Virus Replication and Spread by 25-hydroxycholesterol and 27-hydroxycholesterol In Vitro [PDF]

open access: yesViruses, 2023
Marek’s disease virus (MDV) causes a deadly lymphoproliferative disease in chickens, resulting in huge economic losses in the poultry industry. It has been suggested that MDV suppresses the induction of type I interferons and thus escapes immune control.

Liver X Receptor α (LXRα) Regulates 5β-Reductase (AKR1D1) Expression in Avian Embryos: Implications for Yolk Steroid Metabolism. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Exp Zool A Ecol Integr Physiol
ABSTRACT Steroid‐mediated maternal effects are well‐studied as a source of phenotypic variation. In bird eggs, the yolk contains various steroids that can influence embryonic development. However, one complicating factor in understanding how yolk steroids affect development is that the embryo metabolizes yolk steroids to regulate exposure.

Membrane properties of hydroxycholesterols related to the brain cholesterol metabolism

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2017
Compared to cholesterol, hydroxycholesterols contain an additional hydroxy group in the alkyl chain and are able to efficiently cross the brain–blood barrier. Therefore, they are responsible for the sterol transfer between brain and circulation.

Fluorocholesterols, in contrast to hydroxycholesterols, exhibit interfacial properties similar to cholesterol

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2000
We used an automated Langmuir-Pockels surface balance to characterize the air–water interfacial properties of cholesterol (CH) and its derivatives with hydrophilic OH and F substitutions at isologous sites on the sterol body or side chain.

24-hydroxycholesterol moderates the effects of amyloid-β on expression of HMG-CoA reductase and ABCA1 proteins in mouse astrocytes

open access: yesAdvanced Biomedical Research, 2023
Background: Elevated brain cholesterol increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Production of 24-hydroxycholesterol (24s-OHC) by neurons prevents cholesterol accumulation in the brain. In this study, we investigated the effect of 24s-OHC on the HMG-COA

Oxysterol 7-α Hydroxylase (CYP7B1) Attenuates Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease in Mice at Thermoneutrality

open access: yesCells, 2021
Ambient temperature is an important determinant of both the alternative bile acid synthesis pathway controlled by oxysterol 7-α hydroxylase (CYP7B1) and the progression of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).

Hydroxycholesterol Levels in the Serum and Cerebrospinal Fluid of Patients with Neuromyelitis Optica Revealed by LC-Ag+CIS/MS/MS and LC-ESI/MS/MS with Picolinic Derivatization: Increased Levels and Association with Disability during Acute Attack. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Hydroxycholesterols (OHCs), metabolites of CNS cholesterol, are involved in diverse cellular responses to inflammation and demyelination, and may ...

Analysis of bioactive oxysterols in newborn mouse brain by LC/MS

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2012
Unesterified cholesterol is a major component of plasma membranes. In the brain of the adult, it is mostly found in myelin sheaths, where it plays a major architectural role.

High-temperature GC-MS-based serum cholesterol signatures may reveal sex differences in vasospastic angina

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2014
Alterations of cholesterol metabolism are responsible for vasospastic angina and atherosclerosis. To comprehensively evaluate cholesterol metabolism, 18 sterols, including cholesterol, 6 cholesteryl esters (CEs), 3 cholesterol precursors, and 8 ...

7-Hydroperoxycholesterol and its products in oxidized low density lipoprotein and human atherosclerotic plaque

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1997
7-Hydroperoxycholesterols (7OOHs) are intermediates in cholesterol oxidation and potential cytotoxins. A normal-phase HPLC method with UV (205 nm) detection was developed that could resolve 7 alpha OOH, 7 beta OOH, 7-ketocholesterol (7K), and the ...
