Description of 25(R)-27-hydroxy Cholesterol

25(R)-27-hydroxy Cholesterol is an agonist of liver X receptor (LXR) α and LXRβ, with the EC50 of 0.085 and 0.071μM, respectively[1]. 25(R)-27-hydroxy Cholesterol, also known as (25R)-26-hydroxycholesterol or, 27-hydroxycholesterol, is the major stereoisomer of the endogenous oxygen sterol 27-hydroxycholesterol (comprising about 80% of the natural mixture)[2]. 25(R)-27-hydroxycholesterol can impact the stability of cholesterol and has been widely used in studies on lipid metabolism control and regulation of the expression of genes related to inflammation[3].

In vitro, 25(R)-27-hydroxy Cholesterol treatment 1μM at for 48 hours significantly promoted the proliferation of LNCaP cells and markedly increased their metabolic activity by activating the activity of estrogen receptor α (ERα)[4]. Treatment with 5.6μM of 25(R)-27-hydroxy Cholesterol for 24 hours can inhibit human rhinovirus (HRV) infection in HeLa cells and reduce the markers of HRV replication[5].

In vivo, 25(R)-27-hydroxy Cholesterol treatment (20mg/kg/day; s.c.) for 8 days increased the number of γδ-T cells and reduced cytotoxic T cells, promoting tumor progression in xenograft tumor mouse models[6]. Before the dark cycle began, intraperitoneal injection of a single dose of 20mg/kg 25(R)-27-hydroxy Cholesterol resulted in a rapid decrease in food intake in both male and female C57BL/6J wild-type mice, and increased the inter-meal interval of female mice, the entire effect lasted for 6 hours[7]. After 25(R)-27-hydroxy Cholesterol (5.5mg/kg/day) was administered by subcutaneous injections to APP/PS1 transgenic mice for 3 weeks, severe lesions occurred in the ileum and colon, and the integrity of the intestinal barrier was impaired, accompanied by the dilation of tight junctions and the downregulation of tight junction proteins (including occludin, tight junction protein 1, tight junction protein 5, and ZO-1) [8].

Protocol of 25(R)-27-hydroxy Cholesterol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

LNCaP cells

Preparation Method

LNCaP cells were grown in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS. All cells were maintained with 100U/ml penicillin, 100μg/ml streptomycin 0.25μg/ml amphotericin and were cultured at 5% CO2 and 37 °C. Stock solutions of 25(R)-27-hydroxy Cholesterol were prepared in 100% ethanol and stored at −80 °C. 25(R)-27-hydroxy Cholesterol stock solution was dissolved in appropriate volumes of media to prepare the working solutions of 1μM. Proliferation assays were performed on black 96 well plates using cell proliferation assay which is based on quantifying cell number by DNA content and membrane integrity. Cells at 50–60% confluence were treated and incubated for 48h in the presence of 1μM 25(R)-27-hydroxy Cholesterol. Cell metabolic activity was determined.

Reaction Conditions

1μM; 48h

Applications

25(R)-27-hydroxy Cholesterol significantly promotes the proliferation of LNCaP cells and significantly increases the metabolic activity of the cells.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

C57Bl/6 mice

Preparation Method

C57Bl/6 mice were randomized into the designated diet or treatment groups before graft. For EO771 tumor implantation experiments, female 8-week-old C57Bl/6 mice were ovariectomized and allowed 1 week for recovery. EO771 cells were then injected into an axillary mammary fat pad. Mice received daily subcutaneous injections of either 25(R)-27-hydroxy Cholesterol (20mg/kg) or vehicle (cyclodextrin) two days after EO771 cell engraftment. Mice were euthanized and tumors removed 8 days after engraftment for flow cytometric analysis.

Dosage form

20mg/kg/day for 8 days; s.c.

Applications

25(R)-27-hydroxy Cholesterol treatment increased the presence of γδ-T cells and reduced cytotoxic T cells, promoting tumor progression in mice.
