General description

25-hydroxy-cholesterol is a side chain substituted oxysterol. Avanti′s unique sterol reverses cataracts in mice. Gestwicki′s team ...... settled on compound 29, a steroid found naturally in the bloodstream but not in the lens, which has no blood supply. Mice with age-related and hereditary cataracts received drops in the right eye, whereas the left eye went untreated. After just a few weeks, the treated eye was visibly clearer, says Gestwicki, who conducted the work while at the University of Michigan. Cataract severity is measured on a scale of zero to four, with four being the worst case. On average, mice in the study had about a one-grade improvement in cataract severity after 4 weeks of treatment. Science DOI: 10.1126/science.aad7400 It has been recently shown that activation of a macrophage toll-like receptor (TLR) by microbial antigens induces synthesis of 25-hydroxycholesterol, and that this oxysterol potently suppresses IgA production.

Application


  • Inhibition Mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 Infection by a Cholesterol Derivative, Nat-20(S)-yne: This study explores how a cholesterol derivative, related to 25-hydroxycholesterol, inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection, highlighting its potential in therapeutic applications for viral infections (Murae et al., 2024).

  • 25-hydroxycholesterol promotes proliferation and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma cells by regulating ERβ/TNFRSF17 axis: Demonstrates the role of 25-hydroxycholesterol in cancer biology, particularly in enhancing tumor growth and metastasis, providing insights for targeted cancer therapies (He et al., 2024).

  • 25-Hydroxycholesterol regulates lysosome AMP kinase activation and metabolic reprogramming to educate immunosuppressive macrophages: Investigates how 25-hydroxycholesterol influences immune cells, particularly in the context of immune suppression and potential anti-inflammatory therapies (Xiao et al., 2024).

Dysregulation of lipid metabolism is frequently associated with inflammatory conditions. The mechanism of this association is still not clearly defined. Recently, we identified a nuclear oxysterol, 25-hydroxycholesterol-3-sulfate (25HC3S), as an important regulatory molecule involved in lipid metabolism in hepatocytes. The
