Inhibition of Acyl-CoenzymeA: Cholesterol Acyltransferase 1 promotes shedding of soluble triggering receptor on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) and low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (LRP1)-dependent phagocytosis of amyloid beta protein in microglia. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Lipid regulation is crucial role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. In AD, microglia show elevated sterol O‐acyltransferase 1/Acyl‐coenzymeA: Choleseterol Acyltransferase 1 (SOAT1) expression, encoding Acyl‐coenzymeA: Cholesterol Acyltransferase 1 (ACAT1), which produces cholesteryl esters (CEs) in lipid droplets ...

Selective inhibition of sterolO-acyltransferase 1 isozyme by beauveriolide III in intact cells
Beauveriolide III (BeauIII) inhibited sterol O-acyltransferases 1 and 2 (SOAT1 and SOAT2), which are endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane proteins, in an enzyme-based assay, and selectively inhibited SOAT1 in a cell-based assay using SOAT1-/SOAT2-CHO ...

Eimeria bovis infection modulates endothelial host cell cholesterol metabolism for successful replication [PDF]
During first merogony Eimeria bovis forms large macromeronts in endothelial host cells containing >120 000 merozoites I. During multiplication, large amounts of cholesterol are indispensable for the enormous offspring membrane production.

Direct comparison of distinct naive pluripotent states in human embryonic stem cells [PDF]
Until recently, human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) were shown to exist in a state of primed pluripotency, while mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) display a naive or primed pluripotent state.

Acute ACAT1/SOAT1 Blockade Increases MAM Cholesterol and Strengthens ER-Mitochondria Connectivity
Cholesterol is a key component of all mammalian cell membranes. Disruptions in cholesterol metabolism have been observed in the context of various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The genetic and pharmacological blockade of acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase 1/sterol O-acyltransferase 1 (ACAT1/SOAT1 ...

Comparison of the Effects of Early Pregnancy with Human Interferon, Alpha 2 (IFNA2), on Gene Expression in Bovine Endometrium [PDF]
Interferon tau (IFNT), a type I IFN similar to alpha IFNs (IFNA), is the pregnancy recognition signal produced by the ruminant conceptus. To elucidate specific effects of bovine IFNT and of other conceptus-derived factors, endometrial gene expression ...

Physiological Effects of Soat1 Inactivation on Homeostasis of the Mouse Ocular Surface. [PDF]
Soat1/SOAT1 have been previously reported to be critical for the biosynthesis of cholesteryl esters (CEs) in the mouse Meibomian glands (MGs) as the loss of function led to an arrest of CE production and a substantial accumulation of nonesterified cholesterol in the meibum, causing an increase in its melting temperature.

DAX-1 (NR0B1) and steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1, NR5A1) in human disease. [PDF]
DAX-1 (NR0B1) and SF-1 (NR5A1) are two nuclear receptor transcription factors that play a key role in human adrenal and reproductive development. Loss of DAX-1 function is classically associated with X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita.
