Localization of sterols and oxysterols in mouse brain reveals distinct spatial cholesterol metabolism [PDF]

, 2020
Dysregulated cholesterol metabolism is implicated in a number of neurological disorders. Many sterols, including cholesterol and its precursors and metabolites, are biologically active and important for proper brain function. However, spatial cholesterol

Sterol Metabolism Differentially Contributes to Maintenance and Exit of Quiescence

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Nutrient starvation initiates cell cycle exit and entry into quiescence, a reversible, non-proliferative state characterized by stress tolerance, longevity and large-scale remodeling of subcellular structures.

Functional analysis of two sterol regulatory element binding proteins in Penicillium digitatum. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) are key regulators for sterol homeostasis in most fungi. In the citrus postharvest pathogen Penicillium digitatum, the SREBP homolog is required for fungicide resistance and regulation of CYP51 ...

Microbial Test-System for Screening of Inhibitors of Sterol Biosynthesis

Антибиотики и Химиотерапия, 2020
New effective economic microbial test-system for screening of microbial metabolites, that are inhibitors of sterol biosynthesis, is proposed. It is based on cultivation of fungal strain Acremonium fusidioides (former Fusidium coccineum), that produces ...

Targeting Ergosterol biosynthesis in Leishmania donovani: essentiality of sterol 14 alpha-demethylase. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
Leishmania protozoan parasites (Trypanosomatidae family) are the causative agents of cutaneous, mucocutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis worldwide. While these diseases are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, there are few adequate ...

Effects of distal cholesterol biosynthesis inhibitors on cell proliferation and cell cycle progression

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
Cholesterol is a major lipid component of the plasma membrane in animal cells. In addition to its structural requirement, cholesterol is essential in cell proliferation and other cell processes.

Effects of an azasterol inhibitor of sterol 24-transmethylation on sterol biosynthesis and growth of Leishmania donovani promastigotes [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1995
Leishmania donovani promastigotes were cultured in the presence of an azasterol (20-piperidin-2-yl-5 alpha-pregnane-3 beta,20-diol) to determine the effects on sterol biosynthesis and cell proliferation. Inhibition of growth increased gradually with azasterol concentrations up to 5 micrograms/ml; concentrations of azasterol exceeding 5 micrograms/ml ...

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

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
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 ...
