  • 7-Ketocholesterol and cholestane-triol increase expression of SMO and LXRα signaling pathways in a human breast cancer cell line

    2019, Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports
    Citation Excerpt :

    The most studied oxysterols, at least in terms of toxicity, are 25-hydroxycholesterol, 7β-hydroxycholesterol, and 7-ketocholesterol. The cytotoxic effects of these oxysterols have been demonstrated in several cell lines [16,22,35,37–42]. Here, as expected, 7-KC, triol, and diol reduced the number of cells.

  • Oxysterols selectively promote short-term apoptosis in tumor cell lines

    2018, Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications
    Citation Excerpt :

    The most studied oxysterols, at least in terms of toxicity, are 25-hydroxycholesterol, 7β-hydroxycholesterol, and 7-ketocholesterol. The cytotoxic effects of these oxysterols have been demonstrated in several cell lines [15,21,30,32–37]. Here, we extended those observations by evaluating the effects of several other oxysterols on cell death and the cell cycle in tumorigenic and non-tumorigenic cell lines.

  • Extracellular vesicles: Lipids as key components of their biogenesis and functions

    2018, Journal of Lipid Research
    Citation Excerpt :

    In yeast, Vps4 has been shown to interact with the oxysterol binding proteins, Osh6 and Osh7 (6). Oxysterols have specific pharmacological and physiological properties (7). Alix is recruited on the endosome membrane via a specific domain binding the endosomal lipid, bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP) (8), also inappropriately named LBPA for lyso(bis)phosphatidic acid.

  • One step synthesis of 6-oxo-cholestan-3β,5α-diol

    2014, Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications
    Citation Excerpt :

    Oxysterols, like steroid hormones, have specific physiological properties and deregulation of their metabolism is associated with several pathologies including cancer [1–6]. Some oxysterol metabolic pathways represent novel targets for the development of anticancer agents [2,5,7]. Working on cholesterol (1) metabolism and cancer, our team has recently established the molecular identification of the cholesterol-5,6-epoxide hydrolase (ChEH) [8].
