24S-hydroxycholesterol (24S-OH-Chol) is an enzymatically oxidized product of cholesterol mainly synthesized in the brain, involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD) [1].
24(S)-hydroxy Cholesterol has been generated by the action of enzyme cholesterol 24(S)-hydroxylase (CYP46) on cholesterol in the brain. 24(S)-hydroxy Cholesterol can diffuse across the blood-brain barrier to the systemic circulation where it modulates cell signaling, which could be used for further sterol biosynthesis, or be metabolized in the liver. In brain, disturbances of cholesterol homeostasis have been associated with severe neurological diseases and play a dominant role in the development of Alzheimer disease (AD).
In AD patients, the levels of 24(S)-hydroxycholesterol have been increased in cerebrospinal fluid [1]. 24(S)-hydroxycholesterol is able to induce the expression of ABCA1, ABCG1, and apoE in astrocytes and to elevate apoE-mediated cholesterol efflux in astrocytoma but not in neuroblastoma cells [1]. The concentration of 24(S)-hydroxycholesterol in AD and non-Alzheimer demented patients was modestly but significantly higher than in healthy volunteers and in depressed patients. Plasma 24(S)-hydroxycholesterol levels negatively correlated with the severity of dementia. 24(S)-hydroxycholesterol plasma levels may potentially be used as an early biochemical marker for an altered cholesterol homeostasis in the central nervous system [2]. 24(S)-hydroxycholesterol is a natural ligand of the liver X receptors (LXR), central players in the regulation of cholesterol metabolism. 24(S)-hydroxycholesterol potently activated LXRα and LXRβ nuclear receptors with the EC50 values of 4 and 3 μM, respectively, causing upregulation of cholesterol-lowering genes.
