Application

Human hepatoma cells were treated with 22(S)-Hydroxycholesterol to study cholesterol modulation by liver X receptor-mediated gene regulation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

22(S)-Hydroxycholesterol modulates the lipid and glucose metabolism by acting on liver X receptors. It has the potential to reduce lipogenesis and the accumulation of lipid in hepatocytes, myotubes and non-adipose tissue.

Preparation Note

22(S)-Hydroxycholesterol yields clear, colorless solution in chloroform at 20 mg/ml.

Liver X receptors (LXRs) play important roles in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate effects of the endogenous LXR agonist 22-R-hydroxycholesterol (22-R-HC) and its stereoisomer 22-S-hydroxycholesterol (22-S-HC), in comparison with the synthetic agonist

The nuclear liver X receptors (LXRalpha and beta) are regulators of lipid and cholesterol metabolism. Oxysterols are known LXR ligands, but the functional role of hydroxycholesterols is at present unknown. In human myotubes, chronic exposure to the LXR ligand T0901317

It has been suggested that the signal transduction pathway initiated by apoA-I activates key proteins involved in cellular lipid efflux. We investigated apoA-I-mediated cAMP signaling in cultured human fibroblasts induced with (22R)-hydroxycholesterol and 9-cis-retinoic acid (stimulated cells). Treatment of stimulated

Previous work has implicated the nuclear receptors liver X receptor alpha (LXR alpha) and LXR beta in the regulation of macrophage gene expression in response to oxidized lipids. Macrophage lipid loading leads to ligand activation of LXRs and to induction

Ligands and activators of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily are important in the regulation of epidermal development and differentiation. Previously, we showed that naturally occurring fatty acids, as well as synthetic ligands for the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor, induce keratinocyte differentiation
