Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia.Although increasing evidence suggests that disruptions in lipid metabolism are closely associated with the disease,the overall profile of lipid and sterol changes that occur in the brain during Alzheimer’s disease remains unclear.In this study,we compared brain tissues extracted from 32-week-old male wild-type mice and 5×FAD transgenic Alzheimer’s disease model mice,which carry mutations in the amyloid precursor protein(APP)and presenilin 1(PS1)genes.Using untargeted lipidomics and sterolomics techniques,we investigated the metabolic profiles of lipids,with a focus on sterols specifically,in three brain regions:cerebellum,hippocampus,and olfactory bulb.Our results revealed significant alterations in various lipids,particularly in the hippocampus and olfactory bulb,suggesting changes in energy levels in these regions.Further pathway analysis indicated notable disruptions in key metabolic processes,particularly those related to fatty acids and cell membrane components.Additionally,we observed decreased expression of 15 genes involved in lipid and sterol regulation.Collectively,these findings provide new insights into how imbalances in lipid and sterol metabolism may contribute to the progression of Alzheimer’s disease,highlighting potential metabolic pathways involved in the development of this debilitating disease. 展开更多

This study led to the isolation of 17 triterpenoids,including two lanostane-type(1 and 2),two dammarane-type(3 and 7),ten tirucallane-type(4 and 8-16),and three oleanane-type(17-19)triterpenoids,as well as nine sterols(5,6,and 20-26)from Cotinus coggygria var.cinereus Engl,which were first discovered from the genus Cotinus.Among them,coggygrenoids A-D(1-4),coggygrerol A(5),and coggygrerol B(6)are undescribed compounds.Addition-ally,seven flavonoids(27-33)were also isolated from this plant.Compound 15 displayed inhibitory activities in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells with an IC50 value 6.81±0.15 μM.Molecular docking demonstrated that 15 exhibited favorable affinity for NLRP3 and iNOS.In vitro and in vivo antibacterial evaluations indicated that coggygrnoid C(3)exhibited significant inhibitory activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ATCC BAA-1717(USA300),with An MIC of 8 μg/mL.Further mechanistic investigations demonstrated that 3 exerted antibacterial activity by compromising the integrity of the cell wall and membrane.Notably,the combination of 3 with ampicillin exhibited an additive antibacterial effect.In the Galleria mellonella infection model,compound 3 exhibited comparable activ-ity to that of the positive control at 20 mg/kg.These findings suggest that triterpenoids of C.coggygria are potential antibacterial lead agents. 展开更多

Unlike most plants, members of the genus Solanum produce cholesterol and use this as a precursor for steroidal glycoalkaloids. The production of the compounds begins as a branch from brassinosteroid biosynthesis, which produces cholesterol that is further modified to produce steroidal glycoalkaloids. During the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway, genetic engineering could alter the formation of cholesterol from provitamin D3(7-dehydrocholesterol) and produce vitamin D3. Cholesterol is a precursor for many steroidal glycoalkaloids, including a-tomatine and esculeoside A. Alpha-tomatine is consumed by mammals and it can reduce cholesterol content and improve LDL:HDL ratio. When there is a high a-tomatine content, the fruit will have a bitter flavor, which together with other steroidal glycoalkaloids serving as protective and defensive compounds for tomato against insect, fungal, and bacterial pests. These compounds also affect the rhizosphere bacteria by recruiting beneficial bacteria. One of the steroidal glycoalkaloids, esculeoside A increases while fruit ripening. This review focuses on recent studies that uncovered key reactions of the production of cholesterol and steroidal glycoalkaloids in tomato connecting to human health, fruit flavor, and plant defense and the potential application for tomato crop improvement. 展开更多

Sea cucumber derived sulfated sterols significantly ameliorated insulin resistance and decreased lipid accumulation compared to plant sterols.Interestingly,our recent study found that intervention with sea cucumber sulfated sterols could significantly increase blood glucose levels of healthy mice in the presence of glucose,while cholesterol sulfate,as one of sulfated sterols,did not have the same effect.However,the exact mechanism of sulfated sterols on glucose metabolism is still unknown.In the present study,we investigated the potential mechanism by which sulfated sterols influenced blood glucose homeostasis in healthy mice.Results showed that intervention with sea cucumber sulfated sterols did not affect the levels of hormones related to glucose metabolism,while led to a significant decrease in the synthesis of liver glycogen and muscle glycogen.Besides,the expression of proteins associated with the promotion of gluconeogenesis dramatically increased in the mice intervened with sea cucumber sulfated sterols.These findings suggested that sea cucumber sulfated sterols might change blood glucose metabolism in healthy mice by reducing glycogenesis and promoting gluconeogenesis. 展开更多

Brassinosteroids(BRs)are an important class of plant steroidal hormones that are essential in a wide variety of physiological processes.Two kinds of intermediates,sitosterol and campesterol,play a crucial role in cell elongation,cellulose biosynthesis,and accumulation.To illuminate the effects of sitosterol and campesterol on the development of cotton(Gossypiurn hirsuturm L.)fibers through screening cotton fiber EST database and contigging the candidate ESTs,two key genes GhSMT2-1 and GhSMT2-2 controlling the sitosterol biosynthesis were cloned from developing fibers of upland cotton cv.Xuzhou 142.The full length of GhSMT2-1 was 1,151 bp,including an 8 bp 5'-untranslated region(UTR),a 1,086 bp open reading frame(ORF),and a 57 bp 3'-UTR.GhSMT2-1 gene encoded a polypeptide of 361 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular mass of 40 kDa.The full length of GhSMT2-2 was 1,166 bp,including an 18 bp 5'-UTR,a 1,086 bp ORF,and a 62 bp 3'-UTR.GhSMT2-2 gene encoded a polypeptide of 361 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular mass of 40 kDa.The two deduced amino acid sequences had high homology with the SMT2 from Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana tabacurn.Furthermore,the typical conserved structures characterized by the sterol C-24 methyltransferase,such as region I(LDVGCGVGGPMRAI),region II(IEATCHAP),and region III(YEWGWGQSFHF),were present in both deduced proteins.Southern blotting analysis indicated that GhSMT2-1 or GhSMT2-2 was a single copy in upland cotton genome.Quantitative real-time RT-PCR analysis revealed that the highest expression levels of both genes were detected in 10 DPA(day post anthesis)fibers,while the lowest levels were observed in cotyledon and leaves.The expression level of GhSMT2-1 was 10 times higher than that of GhSMT2-2 in all the organs and tissues detected.These results indicate that the homologue of sterol C-24 methyltransferase gene was cloned from upland cotton and both GhSMT2 genes play a crucial role in fiber elongation.The role of GhSMT2-1 may be more important than that of GhSMT2-2. 展开更多

Cholesterol is an essential component of the mammalian plasma membrane because it promotes membrane stability without comprising membrane fluidity. Given this important cellular role, cholesterol levels are tightly controlled at multiple levels. It has been clearly shown that cholesterol redistribution and depletion from the sperm membrane is a key part of the spermatozoon's preparation for fertilization. Some factors that regulate these events are described (e.g., bicarbonate, calcium) but the mechanisms underlying cholesterol export are poorly understood. How does a hydrophobic cholesterol molecule inserted in the sperm plasma membrane enter the energetically unfavorable aqueous surroundings? This review will provide an overview of knowledge in this area and highlight our gaps in understanding. The overall aim is to better understand cholesterol redistribution in the sperm plasma membrane, its relation to the possible activation of a cholesterol transporter and the role of cholesterol acceptors. Armed with such knowledlze, sl)erm handlin~ techniques can be adapted to better prepare spermatozoa for in vitro and in vivo fertilization. 展开更多

The molecular mechanism of how hepatocytes maintain cholesterol homeostasis has become much more transparent with the discovery of sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) in recent years. These membrane proteins aremembers of the basic helix-loop-helix-leucine zipper (bHLHZip) family of transcription factors. They activate the expression of at least 30 genes involved in the synthesis of cholesterol and lipids. SREBPs are synthesized as precursor proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where they form a complex with another protein, SREBP cleavage activating protein (SCAP). The SCAP molecule contains a sterol sensory domain. In the presence of high cellular sterol concentrations SCAP confines SREBP to the ER. With low cellular concentrations, SCAP escorts SREBP to activation in the Golgi. There, SREBP undergoes two proteolytic cleavage steps to release the mature, biologically active transcription factor, nuclear SREBP (nSREBP). nSREBP translocates to the nucleus and binds to sterol response elements (SRE) in the promoter/enhancer regions of target genes. Additional transcription factors are required to activate transcription of these genes. Three different SREBPs are known, SREBPs-1a, -1c and -2. SREBP-1a and -1c are isoforms produced from a single gene by alternate splicing. SREBP-2 is encoded by a different gene and does not display any isoforms. It appears that SREBPs alone, in the sequence described above, can exert complete control over cholesterol synthesis, whereas many additional factors (hormones, cytokines, etc.) are required for complete control of lipid metabolism. Medicinal manipulation of the SREBP/SCAP system is expected to prove highly beneficial in the management of cholesterol-related disease. 展开更多

Background:Building upon our previous work that developed a folate receptor-mediated,euphaorbia factor L1-loaded PLGA microsphere system integrating active and magnetic targeting for theranostics,further investigation into its in vivo pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution is warranted despite its demonstrated biocompatibility and safety.Methods:A UPLC-MS/MS method was established to determine the concentration of euphorbia sterol in rat plasma and mouse tissue homogenates,healthy male SD rats and KM mice were administered in groups,drug concentrations at different time points were determined,pharmacokinetic parameters were analyzed by DAS software,and data were processed by SAS software.Results:The proposed method met the requirements of biological sample detection.The plasma pharmacokinetics of rats showed that the drug concentration in the microsphere group was lower than that in the injection group,and the parameters such as mean residence time(MRT(0–t)),half-life(T1/2z)and apparent volume of distribution(Vz)were significantly different from those in the solution group.The distribution of mouse tissues showed that the drug concentrations in the liver and lung tissues of the microsphere preparation group were higher than those in the injection group,and the drug concentrations in the lung and liver tissues were more distributed.Conclusion:The targeted drug delivery system changed the pharmacokinetic behavior and tissue distribution of euphorbia sterol,slowed down plasma elimination,prolonged the half-life,and improved the targeting of drugs in lung and liver tissues and the magnetic targeting effect of lungs. 展开更多

Fuzhuan brick-tea(FZT)has long been consumed for its supposed weight loss and lipid-lowering benefi ts.In this study,we show that the regulation of fat storage in Caenorhabditis elegans from a water extract of FZT was affected by cholesterol levels.We found that FZT signifi cantly decreased fat storage under normal cholesterol levels or in a cholesterol-free diet,while lipid accumulation was increased for a high cholesterol diet.Moreover,this mechanism may involve the conserved sterol regulatory element-binding protein(SREBP)/mediator-15(MDT-15)signaling pathway and the nuclear hormone receptor NHR-80.In addition,lipid synthesis-related genes inhibited by FZT were partially affected by a cholesterol-free diet.Thus,our fi ndings suggested that the potential lipid-lowering effects of FZT may depend on the cholesterol level,which may help to improve the consumption of FZT. 展开更多

AIM: To study the effect of Daxx on cholesterol accumulation in hepatic cells. METHODS: Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were fed a normal or high fat diet for 6 wk, and serum lipids and Daxx expression of hepatic tissues were measured by immunoblot assays. HepG2 cells were transfected with the pEGFP-C1/Daxx or pEGFP-C1 plasmid. Cells stably transfected with Daxx were identified by RTPCR analysis. Total cholesterol levels were determined by high performance liquid chromatography. Activated- SREBP and caveolin-1 were assayed by western blotting. RESULTS: Hepatic Daxx protein was higher in normal rats than in high fat diet-fed rats. Noticeable negative correlations were seen between Daxx and LDL-C (γ=-7.56, ρ=0.018), and between Daxx and TC (γ=-9.07, ρ= 0.01), respectively. The total cholesterol of HepG2/GFP-Daxx cells was lower than that of control cells or HepG2/GFP cells (9.28±0.19 vs 14.36± 4.45 or 13.94±2.62, both P 〈 0.05). Furthermore, in HepG2/GFP cells, the expression of activated SREBP was lower than that of control cells, whereas caveolin-1 expression was higher. CONCLUSION: Overexpression of Daxx in HepG2 cells decreased intracellular cholesterol accumulation, which might be associated with inhibition of SREBP activity and an increase in caveolin-1 expression. 展开更多

In this investigation,the effects of PE,EtOAc,and BuOH fractions from Zanthoxylum bungeanum on cholesterol accumulation induced by sterols and LPS were determined in vitro and in vivo.HepG2 cells induced by 25-hydroxychoelsterol and cholesterol were employed as cell model.After treatment with PE,EtOAC,or BuOH fractions,cellular total cholesterol and apolipoprotein B secretion were significantly reduced.In addition,compared with control group,expressions of SREBP2,HMGCR,and ACAT decreased,while CYP27A1,ABCA1,and LDLR levels increased.Cholesterol accumulation was also induced in C57BL/6 mice by LPS and the mice were used as the animal model.Determination of serum TNF-α level and hepatic mRNA expression of TNF-α,IL-6,iNOS,COX-2 revealed that EtOAc and BuOH fractions had anti-inflammatory effects.Furthermore,hepatic total cholesterol was reduced,accompanied by the elevation of LXR-α and ABCA1 gene expression in BuOH fraction treated mice.Since EtOAc and BuOH fractions were found active,bioassay-guided isolation was performed and β-sitosterol,eudesmin,sesamin and syringaresinol-β-D-glucoside were isolated from the fractions. 展开更多

Objective To investigate the effect of dietary calcium on plasma lipoprotein profile in castrated and ovariectomized hamsters. Methods Male, castrated, female and ovariectomized hamsters (n=36 each group) were randomly divided into three sub-groups (n=12) and fed one of the three diets containing O, 2, and B g calcium per kg diet for a period of six weeks. Changes in plasma lipoprotein profile were monitored at the end of week O, 3 and 6. Results Plasma total cholesterol (TC), non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), triacylglycerols (TG) and TC/HDL-C were decreased only in intact female and ovariectomized hamsters. In contrast, three levels of dietary calcium had no effect on lipoprotein profiles in both intact male and castrated hamsters. Conclusion Beneficial modification of lipoprotein profile by dietary calcium was gender-dependent at least in hamsters. 展开更多

The aim of this review is to explore the role of mitochondria in regulating macrophage sterol homeostasis and inflammatory responses within the aetiology of atherosclerosis.Macrophage generation of oxysterol activators of liver X receptors(LXRs),via sterol 27-hydroxylase,is regulated by the rate of flux of cholesterolto the inner mitochondrial membrane,via a complex of cholesterol trafficking proteins.Oxysterols are key signalling molecules,regulating the transcriptional activity of LXRs which coordinate macrophage sterol metabolism and cytokine production,key features influencing the impact of these cells within atherosclerotic lesions.The precise identity of the complex of proteins mediating mitochondrial cholesterol trafficking in macrophages remains a matter of debate,but may include steroidogenic acute regulatory protein and translocator protein.There is clear evidence that targeting either of these proteins enhances removal of cholesterol via LXRα-dependent induction of ATP binding cassette transporters(ABCA1,ABCG1)and limits the production of inflammatory cytokines;interventions which influence mitochondrial structure and bioenergetics also impact on removal of cholesterol from macrophages.Thus,molecules which can sustain or improve mitochondrial structure,the function of the electron transport chain,or increase the activity of components of the protein complex involved in cholesterol transfer,may therefore have utility in limiting or regressing atheroma development,reducing the incidence of coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction. 展开更多

Electrospinning was used as a novel technique for fabricating polymeric nanofibers of a serum cholesterol lowering and poorly water-soluble plant sterol, β-sitosterol. Chitosan was used as a stabilizer/carrier polymer. The mean diameters of nanofibers ranged from 150 nm to218 nm. β-sitosterol was in an amorphous form and homogeneously dispersed in the nanofibers. The β-sitosterol-loaded nanofibers were freely water-soluble and exhibited very short lag-time in releasing the plant sterol. The dissolution was associated with an immediate recrystallization of β-sitosterol in submicron level. In conclusion, electrospinning is a promising future technology for the formulation of poorly water-soluble plant sterols. 展开更多

The effects of low ratio of n-6-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFA)have been clarified against atherosclerosis.Increasing evidence indicated that plant sterols(PS)have a significant cholesterol-lowering effect.This study explored the effects of PS combined with n-6-3(2:1)PUFA on atherosclerosis and investigated the possible mechanism.In ApoE−/−mice,the milk fat in high fat diets was replaced with n-6-3(2:1)PUFA alone or supplemented with 6%PS for 16 weeks.Results demonstrated that PS combined with PUFA exerted commentary and synergistic effects on ameliorating atherosclerosis,improving lipid metabolism and lipid deposition in liver,and alleviating inflammatory response.These changes were accompanied with decreased serum TC,TG,LDL-C and increased fecal cholesterol efflux,as well as the lower inflammatory cytokine CRP,IL-6,TNF-α.It is suggested that the underlying mechanism of PS combined with n-6-3(2:1)PUFA promoting the fecal cholesterol efflux may be mediated by liver X receptorα/ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 pathway. 展开更多

The aim of this review is to enlighten the critical roles that the liver plays in cholesterol metabolism. Liver transplantation can serve as gene therapy or a source of gene transmission in certain conditions that affect cholesterol metabolism, such as low-density-lipoprotein(LDL) receptor gene mutations that are associated with familial hypercholesterolemia. On the other hand, cholestatic liver disease often alters cholesterol metabolism. Cholestasis can lead to formation of lipoprotein X(Lp-X), which is frequently mistaken for LDL on routine clinical tests. In contrast to LDL, Lp-X is non-atherogenic, and failure to differentiate between the two can interfere with cardiovascular risk assessment, potentially leading to prescription of futile lipid-lowering therapy. Statins do not effectively lower Lp-X levels, and cholestasis may lead to accumulation of toxic levels of statins. Moreover, severe cholestasis results in poor micellar formation, which reduces cholesterol absorption, potentially impairing the cholesterol-lowering effect of ezetimibe. Apolipoprotein B-100 measurement can help distinguish between atherogenic and non-atherogenic hypercholesterolemia. Furthermore, routine serum cholesterol measurements alone cannot reflect cholesterol absorption and synthesis. Measurements of serum non-cholesterol sterol biomarkers- such as cholesterol precursor sterols, plant sterols, and cholestanol- may help with the comprehensive assessment of cholesterol metabolism. An adequate cholesterol supply is essential for liver-regenerative capacity. Low preoperative and perioperative serum cholesterol levels seem to predict mortality in liver cirrhosis and after liver transplantation. Thus, accurate lipid profile evaluation is highly important in liver disease and after liver transplantation. 展开更多

The South China Sea(SCS) is one of the most productive and accumulative marginal shelves of organic carbon in the world. To expound the transformation and preservation of organic carbon in the Northeast SCS, where abundant oil and gas resources have been reported, compound specific sterols in free(FR), base hydrolytic(BH), and acid hydrolytic(AH) forms were analyzed in surface and columnar sediments in May, 2016. The results showed that the total contents of sterols detected ranged from 0.15 to 3.74 ppm dry weight in the surface sediments, and gradually decreased from 3.41 to0.17 ppm dry weight from surface to deep sediments, in which cholesterol(27△5) was the most abundant component. Sterols mainly existed in the BH form(54.51%-74.20%), followed by the FR form(25.50%-45.49%) and then the AH form(0-3.77%) in turn, in the surface sediments. BH and FR sterols accounted for 0-49.08% and 50.92%-100% in the columnar sediments, while AH sterols were undetectable. The contents of specific sterols indicated that, the primary source of marine organic carbon was about 5 times as much as that from terrestrial input. More and more FR sterols transformed into BH sterols with increasing sedimentary depth, and BH sterols absolutely dominated in sediment depths under 25 cm. The forms of Sterols C27 were maintained at a relative consistence state, but Sterols C28 to C30 degraded gradually during the sedimentation process. It was suggested that the stability of sterols, based on the chemical structures, might be the primary factor controlling their degradation and preservation in deeper sediments. These results would help to understand the organic carbon(OC) transformation in a hydrate formation area in a marginal sea. 展开更多
