Oxysterols are oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol formed in the human body or ingested in the diet. By modulating the activity of many proteins (for instance, liver X receptors, oxysterol-binding proteins, some ATP-binding cassette transporters), oxysterols can affect many cellular functions and influence various physiological processes (e.g ...

Oxysterols as a biomarker in diseases
Clinica Chimica Acta, 2019Cholesterol is one of the most important chemical substances as a structural element in human cells, and it is very susceptible to oxidation reactions that form oxysterol. Oxysterols exhibit almost the exact structure as cholesterol and a cholesterol precursor (7-dehydrocholesterol) with an additional hydroxyl, epoxy or ketone moiety.

Oxysterols are biologically active molecules that result from the oxidation of cholesterol. Several oxysterols are found in macrophages and macrophage-derived 'foam cells' in atherosclerotic tissue. Lipophilic oxysterols penetrate cell membranes and, therefore, their concentrations can reach harmful levels in endothelial and smooth muscle cells located

Oxysterols and nuclear receptors
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2019Oxysterols are derivatives of cholesterol and an important regulator of cholesterol metabolism, in part due to their role as ligands for nuclear receptors, such as the liver X receptors. Oxysterols are also known to be ligands for the RAR-related orphan receptors, involved in normal T cell differentiation.

A binding protein is described for certain oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol which suppress 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase and cholesterol synthesis in cultured mammalian cells. This protein is found in the cytosolic fraction of many cell types and is distinct from cytosolic proteins which bind cholesterol.

Oxysterols and neurodegenerative diseases
Molecular Aspects of Medicine, 2009In contrast to their parent molecule cholesterol, two of its side-chain oxidized metabolites are able to cross the blood-brain barrier. There is a concentration-driven flux of 24S-hydroxycholesterol (24S-OHC) from the brain into the circulation, which is of major importance for elimination of excess cholesterol from the brain.

Analysis of oxysterol metabolomes
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2011Oxysterols are oxygenated forms of cholesterol. This definition can, however, be expanded to include oxygenated derivatives of plant sterols and also of cholesterol precursors. Oxysterols are formed in the first steps of cholesterol metabolism and also from cholesterol by reactive oxygen species. Oxysterols were once thought of as simple intermediates,

Oxysterol biosynthetic enzymes
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2000Oxysterols, herein defined as derivatives of cholesterol with a hydroxyl group on the side chain, play several roles in lipid metabolism. Members of this class regulate the expression of genes that participate in both sterol and fat metabolism, serve as substrates for the synthesis of bile acids, and are intermediates in the transfer of sterols from ...

I have been involved in research on oxysterols since 1963 and this review is intended to cover some of the most important aspects of this work. The first project dealed with 7α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one. My successful synthesis of this steroid with high specific radioactivity allowed a demonstration that it is a bile acid precursor.

A proteolytic fragment of the oxysterol receptor which retains oxysterol binding activity
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1991The structural organization of the oxysterol receptor, postulated to be involved in the regulation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase and cholesterol biosynthesis in mammalian cells, has been explored by limited proteolysis with trypsin, alpha-chymotrypsin, and endoproteinase GluC.
