Abstract Background and Aims In dialysis patients, cholesterol-lowering therapy with statins is less effective than in other high-risk patients. This may partly be explained by a shift from cholesterol synthesis, which is inhibited by statin treatment, towards cholesterol absorption, which is ...

NUDT21 is overexpressed in colorectal cancer tumors and promotes colorectal cancer progression. NUDT21 promotes the production of a cyclin‐dependent kinase 19 (CDK19) mRNA isoform with a long 3′ UTR, which enhances cytoplasmic export and translation. Truncation of the CDK19 long 3′ UTR phenocopies NUDT21 loss, recapitulating the defects in cholesterol ...

Lathosterolosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of cholesterol biosynthesis. It is caused by defects in the SC5D (sterol C5‐desaturase) gene which encodes for the 3‐beta‐hydroxysteroid‐delta‐5‐desaturase (also called sterol‐C5‐desaturase or ...

Cholesterol-loaded nanoparticles ameliorate synaptic and cognitive function in Huntington's disease mice [PDF]
Brain cholesterol biosynthesis and cholesterol levels are reduced in mouse models of Huntington's disease (HD), suggesting that locally synthesized, newly formed cholesterol is less available to neurons.

We measured plasma markers of cholesterol synthesis (lathosterol) and absorption (campesterol, sitosterol, and cholestanol) in order to compare the effects of maximal doses of rosuvastatin with atorvastatin and investigate the basis for the significant ...

Studies on PCSK9 in the regulation of cholesterol metabolism [PDF]
Elevated levels of plasma cholesterol, mainly in low density lipoproteins (LDL), are a major risk factor for coronary heart disease. The level of plasma LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) is largely dependent on the number of hepatic LDL receptors (LDLRs ...

Cholesterol Deficiency Directs Autophagy‐Dependent Secretion of Extracellular Vesicles
Inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis within models of rare disease and cancer causes increased release of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) with distinct biological properties. Mechanistically, cholesterol depletion leads to impaired autophagic flux, redirection of autophagosomes to late endosomes, and subsequently increased sEV secretion ...
