Identification of a novel missense mutation in the sterol 27-hydroxylase gene in two Japanese patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis. [PDF]
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive sterol storage disease caused by a mutated sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) gene. We analyzed the CYP27A1 gene in two Japanese CTX patients.

A Rare Case of Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis Associated With a Mutation on COG8 Gene
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis ( CTX ) is a rare hereditary disease described by a mutation in the CYP27A1 gene , which encodes the sterol 27-hydroxylase enzyme involved in the synthesis of bile acid.

Dietary components shape the gut microbiome, which modifies bile acids through transformations. The resulting bile acid pool is sensed by host receptors to regulate immunity, metabolism, and intestinal function. Targeted bile acid measurements provide a unifying readout to study diet‐microbiome interactions and to develop next‐generation dietary ...

Two new mutations in the sterol 27-hydroxylase gene in two families lead to cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis [PDF]
This report concerns two new mutations in the sterol 27-hydroxylase gene in two patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX). In a Surinam-Creole patient (patient A), a G deletion on position cDNA 546/547 in exon 3 led to a frameshift and the introduction of a premature termination codon.

In previous work we have demonstrated suppression of cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase by bile acids at the level of mRNA and transcription, resulting in a similar decline in bile acid synthesis in cultured rat hepatocytes.

Cholesterol and 27-hydroxycholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylation: evidence for two different enzymes.
The use of 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin as a vehicle for solubilizing cholesterol and 27-hydroxycholesterol has led to a study of their rates of 7 alpha-hydroxylation in microsomal preparations from hamster liver and HepG2 cells.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Sterol 27-hydroxylase plays an important role in cholesterol metabolism in hepatic and extrahepatic tissues. To determine whether female sex steroid hormones influence its expression, we measured plasma and hepatic 27-hydroxycholesterol ...

Infants with the cholesterol synthesis defect Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLO) have reduced activity of the enzyme 7-dehydrocholesterol-7-reductase and accumulate 7-dehydrocholesterol, with the highest concentration in the brain.

A multi‐omics framework combining multitissue genome‐wide association studies, metabolomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and functional validation uncovers the genetic basis of specialized metabolism in quinoa. The study identifies hundreds of metabolite‐associated loci, prioritizes candidate genes for saponin, betalain, and flavonoid biosynthesis ...
