Application

7α,25-Dihydroxycholesterol has been used as a ligand for G protein-coupled receptor 183 (Gpr183).

Biochem/physiol Actions

7α,25-Dihydroxycholesterol (7α,25-OHC) is a potent and selective endogenous ligand for the orphan GPCR receptor EBI2 (GPR183) with an EC50 value in the picomolar range. The newly discovered EBI2–oxysterol signalling pathway has been shown to have an important role in the adaptive immune response, including a role in driving immune cell migration. In vitro and in vivo studies showed that 7,25-OHC can serve as a chemokine directing migration of B cells, T cells and dendritic cells.
7α,25-Dihydroxycholesterol has an ability to block the early steps of T-cell activation.

Oxysterols, oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol selected for their cytostatic activity and their inhibitory effect on cholesterol synthesis, have been investigated for their anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) activity in vitro. The three oxysterols tested, 7 beta-hydroxycholesterol (7 beta-OHC), 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-OHC) and

Several oxysterols are powerful immunosuppressors. Among them 7,25-dihydroxycholesterol (7,25-OHC) seems to be particularly interesting. The effect of this synthetic sterol on murine lymphocytes, stimulated by Con A, or by allogeneic or TNP-modified syngeneic lymphocytes, was investigated. The results showed that

The effects of an oxysterol, 7,25-dihydroxycholesterol (7,25-OHC), cyclosporin A (CsA) and dexamethasone (Dex) on the blastogenic response of murine lymphocytes to various stimuli were investigated. 7,25-OHC markedly depressed the response to Con A, anti-T3 monoclonal antibodies and to the combination

The metabolism of 25-hydroxycholesterol in different cell types was studied and the role of 7 alpha-hydroxylation for the effect of 25-hydroxycholesterol on the activity of HMG-CoA reductase was determined. Human diploid fibroblasts (HDF) and the human melanoma cell line SK-MEL-2
