Description of 7β-hydroxy Cholesterol

7β-hydroxy Cholesterol is an oxysterol formed by enzymatic and non-enzymatic oxidation of cholesterol [1]. 7β-hydroxy Cholesterol increases the permeability of vascular endothelium to LDL and promotes the adhesion and extravasation of monocytes and lymphocytes by triggering endothelial cell apoptosis, IL-1β secretion and/or adhesion molecule expression [2-3]. 7β-hydroxy Cholesterol has anti-tumor activity [4].

In human umbilical venous endothelial cells (HUVECs), treatment of HUVECs with 7β-hydroxy Cholesterol (50 and 100μM; 20 and 48h) induced apoptosis in a concentration- and time-dependent manner [1]. In Caco-2 cells, 7β-hydroxy Cholesterol (30μM; 32h) inhibits Caco-2 cell proliferation [4]. In U937 cells, 7β-hydroxy Cholesterol (30μM; 24h) triggers apoptosis by enhancing Ca2+ influx through dihydropyridine-sensitive channels [5]. In U937 cells, 7β-hydroxy Cholesterol (30μM; 24h) exerts cytotoxic effects by inducing apoptosis and reducing cell viability and glutathione levels [6]. In HUVECs, 7β-hydroxy Cholesterol (2.5, 12.5, and 25μM; 15h) produces antiapoptotic and proliferative effects via activation of ERK [7].

Protocol of 7β-hydroxy Cholesterol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Human umbilical venous endothelial cells (HUVECs)

Preparation Method

HUVECs were isolated from human umbilical cord veins. Cells were seeded at a density of 2.5×10⁶ cells in 75cm² tissue culture flasks containing 15mL of culture medium composed of Medium 199 with Earle's salts, 2.2g/L NaHCO₃, amino acids, and Glutamax I, supplemented with antibiotics (10U/mL penicillin, 10μg/mL streptomycin) and 20% heat inactivated fetal calf serum. Once confluent, cells were detached using 0.05% trypsin/0.02% EDTA solution. From the first passage onward, cells were cultured in the same medium further supplemented with 100μg/mL endothelial cell growth supplement and 90μg/mL heparin. HUVECs were maintained at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO₂, and all experiments were performed using cells at the second passage. Cell proliferation was assessed by flow cytometry to ensure a non-proliferative state, with at least 80% of cells in the G0/G1 phase. For treatment, confluent nonproliferating HUVECs were exposed to 7β-hydroxy Cholesterol at final concentrations of 25, 50, and 100μM. Treatments were carried out for either 20 and 48h.

Reaction Conditions

25, 50, and 100μM; 20 and 48h

Applications

7β-hydroxy Cholesterol at concentrations of 50 and 100μM could induce typical apoptosis of HUVECs within 20 and 48h, including DNA fragmentation and nuclear condensation/fragmentation, while no obvious apoptosis was observed at a concentration of 25μM.
