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.

Oxysterols, oxygenated by-products of cholesterol biosynthesis, play roles in various physiological and pathological systems. However, the effects of oxysterols on periodontal regeneration are unknown. This study investigated the effects of the specific oxysterol combination of 22(S)-hydroxycholesterol and 20(S)-hydroxycholesterol (SS) on
