Biological Context
7α-hydroxy Cholesterol is an oxysterol and a precursor in the biosynthesis of the bile acids cholic acid (CA) and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA).1,2 It is formed via the oxidation of cholesterol by cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase/CYP7A1 in rat liver microsomes.1 7α-hydroxy Cholesterol (40 µM) increases levels of the adhesion molecules ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and E-selectin in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).3 It increases secretion of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in serum-deprived THP-1 cells when used at a concentration of 5 µg/ml.4 7α-hydroxy Cholesterol has been found in macrophages isolated from atherosclerotic lesions in rabbits fed a high-cholesterol diet.5
