Description

24S,25-Epoxycholesterol is an agonist for Liver X Receptor (LXR). 24S,25-Epoxycholesterol exhibits properties in regulating the cholesterol efflux[1], inhibiting tumor growth against gastric cancer and glioblastoma[2][3] and inducing apoptosis in BMMC cells[5].

In Vitro

24S,25-Epoxycholesterol (1-10 μM) upregulates the LXR-related genes ABCA1, ABCG1 and APOE, promotes the cholesterol efflux, therefore prevents the foam cell formation and blocks proliferation of mouse and human glioma stem-like cells through depeting cellular cholesterol[1][3].
24S,25-Epoxycholesterol inhibits proliferation and migration of HGC27, which is enhanced by knockout of LXRβ[2].
24S,25-Epoxycholesterol (40 μM) inhibits HMG-CoA reductase and activates the LXR, which suppresses mevalonate-dependent isoprenoid production and enhancing the ATP-binding cassette G1 expression, induces apoptosis in bone marrow-derived murine mast cells (BMMCs)[5].

Cell Proliferation Assay[2]

Cell Line: HGC27
Concentration: 1 μM
Incubation Time: 18 h
Result: Inhibited proliferation of HGC27

Cell Migration Assay [2]

Cell Line: HGC27
Concentration: 1 μM
Incubation Time: 18 h
Result: Reduced HGC27 migration.
In Vivo

24S,25-Epoxycholesterol (5 mM, icv) enhances the mDA neurogenesis, limits the neurodegeneration in CYP46A1-overexpressing mice midbrain[4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: GGPP induced mDA neurogenesis defect in CYP46A1 overexpressing CD-1 mice[4]
Dosage: 5 mM
Administration: icv, 1 μL, single dosage
Result: Increased levels of mDA neurons, blocked the GGPP induced decrease of double EdU and TH cells.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
