A potential role for sterol 27-hydroxylase in atherogenesis

Atherosclerosis, 2001
27-hydroxycholesterol is the product of the mitochondrial cytochrome P450 sterol 27-hydroxylase, a key enzyme in cholesterol metabolism present in most tissues of the body. 27-hydroxycholesterol increases in abundance with progression of human atherosclerotic lesions, therefore the aim of this study was to determine the pattern of sterol 27-hydroxylase

Transcriptional regulation of hepatic sterol 27-hydroxylase by bile acids

American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, 1996
The study objective was to determine whether and to what extent sterol 27-hydroxylase, the initial step in the "acidic" pathway of bile acid biosynthesis, is regulated by bile acids. Rats were fed diets supplemented with cholestyramine (CT, 5%), cholate (CA, 1%), chenodeoxycholate (CDCA, 1%), or deoxycholate (DCA, 0.25%).

Maternal sterol 27-hydroxylase is crucial for securing fetal development

2023
SummaryThe maternal body helps in providing nutrients and degrading toxic metabolites instead of the fetal body; disruptions in these mechanisms affect normal fetal development. Sterol 27-hydroxylase (Cyp27a1) is involved in the alternative pathway of bile acid synthesis, which is enhanced during pregnancy.

Localization of sterol 27-hydroxylase immuno-reactivity in human atherosclerotic plaques

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1997
It has recently been shown that extrahepatic cells can eliminate intracellular cholesterol by enzymatic conversion into 27-hydroxy-cholesterol and 3 beta-hydroxy-5-cholestenoic acid. Using immunohistochemical methods, we studied the presence of the enzyme responsible for these conversions, sterol 27-hydroxylase, in human carotid atherosclerotic plaques.

Sterol 27-hydroxylase Deficiency: A Rare Cause of Xanthomas in Normocholesterolemic Humans

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2000
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is characterized by the accumulation of cholestanol and cholesterol in xanthomas and brain causing a number of severe symptoms. More than 20 different mutations have been identified in the gene encoding sterol 27-hydroxylase.

Two novel mutations in the sterol 27‐hydroxylase gene causing cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis

Clinical Genetics, 2002
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare recessive autosomal disease caused by mutations of the sterol 27‐hydroxylase gene. Clinically, CTX is characterized by tendon xanthomas, cataracts and progressive neurological deficits. Because of the disruption of the 27‐hydroxylase activity, CTX patients have elevated plasma levels of cholestanol, a by ...

Metabolism of an oxysterol, 7‐ketocholesterol, by sterol 27‐hydroxylase in hepG2 cells

Lipids, 2001
Abstract7‐Ketocholesterol (7K) is a quantitatively important oxysterol in both atherosclerotic lesions and macrophage foam cells. We reported recently that radiolabeled 7K delivered to rodents in a modified lipoprotein or chylomicron remnantlike emulsion, both cleared predominantly by the liver, was rapidly excreted into the intestine as water‐soluble ...

Mutation in the Sterol 27‐Hydroxylase Gene Associated with Fatal Cholestasis in Infancy

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 2005
Inborn errors of bile acid synthesis are rare but potentially treatable causes of neonatal cholestasis. We here present a cholestatic infant with an ongoing cytomegalovirus infection who despite intensive treatment died of severe liver disease at 4 months of age.The urinary steroids were investigated by electrospray mass spectrometry and gas ...

Transcriptional regulation of the human sterol 27-hydroxylase gene (CYP27) and promoter mapping

Atherosclerosis, 2001
Recent evidence suggests that sterol 27-hydroxylase may play a role in cholesterol homeostasis and affect atherogenesis. The major objective of the study was to map and characterize the sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27) promoter region. Here we show that CYP27 gene has a TATA-less promoter and transcription initiates at a cluster of sites.
