Sterol O-Acyltransferase Inhibition Ameliorates High-Fat Diet-Induced Renal Fibrosis and Tertiary Lymphoid Tissue Maturation after Ischemic Reperfusion Injury. [PDF]
Metabolic syndrome is associated with the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We previously demonstrated that aged kidneys are prone to developing tertiary lymphoid tissues (TLTs) and sustain inflammation after injury, leading to CKD progression; however, the relationship between renal TLT and metabolic syndrome is unknown.

Sterol O-Acyltransferase 2-Driven Cholesterol Esterification Opposes Liver X Receptor-Stimulated Fecal Neutral Sterol Loss. [PDF]
AbstractStatin drugs have proven a successful and relatively safe therapy for the treatment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, even with the substantial low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol lowering achieved with statin treatment, CVD remains the top cause of death in developed countries.

Characterization of thraustochytrid-specific sterol O-acyltransferase: modification of DGAT2-like enzyme to increase the sterol production in Aurantiochytrium limacinum mh0186. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Thraustochytrids are marine microorganisms expected to produce useful lipids. They synthesize polyunsaturated fatty acids and sterols and store them in lipid droplets as a form of triacylglycerol (TG) and sterol ester (SE), respectively. TG is synthesized by diacylglycerol O -acyltransferase (DGAT)

Dysregulated expression of sterol O-acyltransferase 1 (Soat1) in the hair shaft of Hoxc13 null mice. [PDF]
The cholesterol-metabolizing enzyme sterol O-acetyltransferase (SOAT1) is implicated in an increasing number of biological and pathological processes in a number of organ systems, including the differentiation of the hair shaft. While the functional and regulatory mechanisms underlying these diverse functional roles remain poorly understood, the ...

Comprehensive prognostic and immune analysis of sterol O-acyltransferase 1 in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Sterol O-acyltransferase 1 (SOAT1) is an important target in the diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer. However, the prognostic value of SOAT1 in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is still not clear. AIM To investigate the correlation of SOAT1 expression with HCC, using RNA-seq and gene expression ...

Sterol O-Acyltransferase 1 (<i>SOAT1</i>): A Genetic Modifier of Niemann-Pick Disease, Type C1. [PDF]
Niemann-Pick disease type C1 (NPC1) is a lysosomal disorder due to impaired intracellular cholesterol transport out of the endolysosomal compartment. Marked heterogeneity has been observed in individuals with the same NPC1 genotype, thus suggesting a significant effect of modifier genes.

Sterol-O-acyltransferase-1 has a role in kidney disease associated with diabetes and Alport syndrome. [PDF]
Defective cholesterol metabolism primarily linked to reduced ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) expression is closely associated with the pathogenesis and progression of kidney diseases, including diabetic kidney disease and Alport Syndrome.

Regulation of lipid metabolism-related gene expression in whole blood cells of normo- and dyslipidemic men after fish oil supplementation [PDF]
Background Beneficial effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) on the lipid levels of dyslipidemic subjects are widely described in the literature. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unknown.

Celludinones, new inhibitors of sterol O-acyltransferase, produced by Talaromyces cellulolyticus BF-0307 [PDF]
New indanones, designated celludinones A ((±)-1) and B (2), were isolated from the culture broth of the fungal strain Talaromyces cellulolyticus BF-0307. The structures of celludinones were elucidated by spectroscopic data, including 1D and 2D NMR.
