General description

22(R)-hydroxycholesterol is a diastereomer of 22(S)-hydroxycholesterol. It is present in neonate brain.

Application

22(R)-hydroxycholesterol has been used as a liver X receptor (LXR) ligand in breast cancer cell lines. It may be used as an internal standard to spike mouse brain tissue samples for ultra-performance liquid chromatography–high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-HRMS) analysis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

22(R)-hydroxycholesterol (22(R)-HC) is a liver X receptor (LXR) ligand.. 22(R)-HC in combination with other oxysterols promote mesenchymal stem cell osteogenesis. It regulates cholesterol homeostasis. Low levels of 22(R)-HC is observed in Alzheimer′s disease and it may be implicated in neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases. 22(R)-hydroxycholesterol also suppresses prostate tumor progression.

Interventions that alter cholesterol have differential impacts on hormone receptor positive- and negative-breast cancer risk and prognosis. This implies differential regulation or response to cholesterol within different breast cancer subtypes. We evaluated differences in side-chain hydroxycholesterol and liver X nuclear

Cholesterol 25-hydroxylase (CH25H) is an interferon-stimulated gene that converts cholesterol to the oxysterol 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC). Circulating 25HC modulates essential immunological processes including antiviral immunity, inflammasome activation and antibody class switching; and dysregulation of CH25H may contribute to chronic inflammatory disease
