Side-chain oxidized oxysterols as metabolic regulators in liver and brain [PDF]

, 2014
Oxysterols are oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol characterized by a very short half-life and their ability to pass lipophilic membranes easily, thus they are considered as important intermediates in cholesterol excretion pathways and its ...

Increased maternal and fetal cholesterol efflux capacity and placental CYP27A1 expression in preeclampsia[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2017
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific condition that leads to increased cardiovascular risk in later life. A decrease in cholesterol efflux capacity is linked to CVD.

Ethnic differences in the prevalence of polymorphisms in CYP7A1, CYP7B1 AND CYP27A1 enzymes involved in cholesterol metabolism

Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, 2011
It is well known that drug disposition and response are greatly determined by the activities of drug metabolizing enzymes, which are polymorphic.

Deficiency of Capicua disrupts bile acid homeostasis [PDF]

, 2018
Capicua (CIC) has been implicated in pathogenesis of spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 and cancer in mammals; however, the in vivo physiological functions of CIC remain largely unknown.

Molecular genetics of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis in Jews of north African origin.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1994
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is an autosomal recessive sterol storage disease characterized by the accumulation of a bile alcohol, cholestanol, in diverse tissues.

Inhibition of Marek’s Disease Virus Replication and Spread by 25-hydroxycholesterol and 27-hydroxycholesterol In Vitro

Viruses, 2023
Marek’s disease virus (MDV) causes a deadly lymphoproliferative disease in chickens, resulting in huge economic losses in the poultry industry. It has been suggested that MDV suppresses the induction of type I interferons and thus escapes immune control.

Effects of cyclosporin on cholesterol 27-hydroxylation and LDL receptor activity in HepG2 cells.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1996
The hypothesis that mitochondrial sterol 27-hydroxylase plays a role in the sterol-mediated down-regulation of LDL receptor activity was evaluated in HepG2 cells. 27-Hydroxycholesterol was found to be more potent at suppressing LDL receptor activity than

Cholestenoic acid, an endogenous cholesterol metabolite, is a potent γ-secretase modulator. [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundAmyloid-β (Aβ) 42 has been implicated as the initiating molecule in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD); thus, therapeutic strategies that target Aβ42 are of great interest.

Alternative pre-mRNA splicing of the sterol 27-hydroxylase gene (CYP 27) caused by a G to A mutation at the last nucleotide of exon 6 in a patient with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX)

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
A recently identified G to A mutation at the last nucleotide of exon 6 of the sterol 27-hydroxylase gene (CYP 27) in a patient with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) was shown here to cause alternative pre-mRNA splicing of the gene.

Effect of increasing the expression of cholesterol transporters (StAR, MLN64, and SCP-2) on bile acid synthesis

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
There are two major pathways of bile acid synthesis: the “neutral” pathway, initiated by highly regulated microsomal cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1), and an “alternative” pathway, initiated by mitochondrial sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1).
