General description

27-hydroxycholesterol is an abundant oxysterol in circulation.

Application

27-hydroxycholesterol (D6) or cholest-5-ene-3β,27-diol(d6) has been used as an internal standard to measure the concentration of 27-hydroxycholesterol in the pre- and post-statin-treated serum samples by mass spectrometry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

27-hydroxycholesterol is known to induce breast cancer cell proliferation and metastatic progression in experimental models. It might serve as a ligand for liver X receptors (LXR) and farnesoid X-activated receptors (FXRs). 27-hydroxycholesterol controls the action of hydrocymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase. It promotes cholesterol efflux from the vascular endothelium.

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. As a result of the generally reduced content of cholesterol, plasma levels of

The impact of systemic 27-hydroxycholesterol (27HC) and intratumoral CYP27A1 expression on pathobiology and clinical response to statins in breast cancer needs clarification. 27HC is an oxysterol produced from cholesterol by the monooxygenase CYP27A1, which regulates intracellular cholesterol homeostasis. 27HC also

Membrane-disrupting agents that selectively target virus versus host membranes could potentially inhibit a broad-spectrum of enveloped viruses, but currently such antivirals are lacking. Here, we develop a nanodisc incorporated with a decoy virus receptor that inhibits virus infection. Mechanistically, nanodiscs
