Application
7β-hydroxycholesterol was used to study oxysterol-induced apoptosis in human endothelial cells.
Biochem/physiol Actions
7β-Hydroxycholesterol is an oxysterol, the enzymatic or non-enzymatic product of cholesterol oxidation. Oxysterols are cytotoxic and induce death in monocytes, smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. The mechanism of apoptosis induced by oxysterols may involve caspases or DNA fragmentation. Increased levels of 7β-Hydroxycholesterol correlates with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis.
Preparation Note
7β-Hydroxycholesterol yields clear, colorless to faint yellow solution in ethanol, with or without heating.

Cholesterol and its oxidation products, namely oxysterols, have very recently been shown to potentially interfere with homeostasis of the human digestive tract, by promoting and sustaining irreversible damage of the colonic epithelial layer. This report concerns the strong proinflammatory action

All three cholesterol oxidation products implicated thus far in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, 7β-hydroxycholesterol, 24-hydroxycholesterol, and 27-hydroxycholesterol, markedly enhance the binding of amyloid-beta (Aβ) to human differentiated neuronal cell lines (SK-N-BE and NT-2) by up-regulating net expression and synthesis

The mortality in coronary heart disease among 50- to 54-year-old men is 4 times higher in Lithuania than in Sweden. It was recently suggested that traditional risk factors could not explain this mortality difference. LDL of Lithuanian men showed, however

The oxysterols, 7beta-hydroxycholesterol and 7-ketocholesterol, are involved in the cytotoxicity of oxidized LDL. To elucidate their molecular mechanisms, the human promonocytic leukemia cells U937 and U4 were used. U4 cells overexpressing Bcl-2 were obtained by transfection of U937 cells. 7Beta-hydroxycholesterol
