A novel analytical platform based on liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry using atmospheric pressure photoionization was applied for the simultaneous quantification of free and esterified beta-sitosterol, campesterol, brassicasterol, and stigmasterol. The total time for sample pretreatment and analysis could be reduced from approximately 3 h [gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)] to 15 min. The detection limits of the different phytosterols ranged between 0.25 and 0.68 microg/l. Linear ranges were between 1 and 1,000 microg/l. The within-run and between-run variabilities ranged between 1.4% and 9.9%. The analytical sensitivity was at least 150-fold higher compared with GC-MS. Our new method allows a rapid and simultaneous determination of free and esterified phytosterols in serum. 相似文献

The chemical syntheses of 5α-cholestane-3β,14α,15β-triol, 5α-cholestane-14α-ol-3,15-dione, 5α-cholestane-3β,14α-diol-15-one, 14α,15α-epoxy-5α-cholestan-3β-ol, and 5α-cholest-8(14)-en-3β-ol-15-one oxime are described. All of these compounds were found to be potent inhibitors of sterol synthesis in cultured mouse L cells. However, the former three compounds had little or no effect on the levels of 3-hydroxy-3-methylgutaryl (HMG)-CoA reductase in the same cells. In contrast, in the case of the latter two compounds, the concentrations required to cause a 50% inhibition of the synthesis of digitonin-precipitable sterols were comparable to those required to cause a 50% reduction in the levels of HMG-CoA reductase in the same cells. 5α-Cholest-8(14)-en-3β-ol-15-one oxime had no effect on serum cholesterol levels when administered to male rats at a level of 0.15% in a cholesterol-free diet. 相似文献

The sterility of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) knockout mice clearly shows the link between lipid metabolism and spermatogenesis. However, which substrate or product of this multifunctional lipase affects spermatogenesis is unclear. We found that an HSL protein with a His-tag at the N-terminus preserved the normal hydrolase activity of cholesteryl ester (CE) but the triglyceride lipase (TG) activity significantly decreased in vitro. Therefore, mice with this functionally incomplete HSL (His-HSL) were produced on a background of HSL deficiency (HSL−/−h). As a result, HSL−/−h testis has an 8.65-fold higher CE activity than wild-type testis but a twofold higher TG activity than wild-type testis. To compare His-HSL and wild-type HSL in vitro and in vivo, we confirmed that the His-tag significantly suppressed HSL TG activity. From our results, we believe that TG activity was affected by the His-tag insertion, but CE activity was not influenced. Furthermore, the His-tag protected HSL from binding to the inhibitor BAY. From our study, TG activity and BAY binding sites were affected by N-terminal His-tag insertion. 相似文献

A series of oxygenated cholesterol derivatives were prepared from new synthetic methods and evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial properties against human pathogens. The activity was highly dependent on the structure of the different compounds involved. The best results were obtained with hydroxy ketones 2, 4 and 5 and diketone 7 exhibiting activities against S. cerevisiae (ATCC 28383) and Candida albicans (CIP 1663-86). For example, compound 2 exhibited high activities against C. albicans (CIP 1663-86) and Amphotericine B and miconazole resistant strain C. albicans (CIP 1180-79) at a concentration of 1.5 microg/mL. 相似文献

Animal models link ectopic lipid accumulation to renal dysfunction, but whether this process occurs in the human kidney is uncertain. To this end, we investigated whether altered renal TG and cholesterol metabolism results in lipid accumulation in human diabetic nephropathy (DN). Lipid staining and the expression of lipid metabolism genes were studied in kidney biopsies of patients with diagnosed DN (n = 34), and compared with normal kidneys (n = 12). We observed heavy lipid deposition and increased intracellular lipid droplets. Lipid deposition was associated with dysregulation of lipid metabolism genes. Fatty acid β-oxidation pathways including PPAR-α, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1, acyl-CoA oxidase, and L-FABP were downregulated. Downregulation of renal lipoprotein lipase, which hydrolyzes circulating TGs, was associated with increased expression of angiopoietin-like protein 4. Cholesterol uptake receptor expression, including LDL receptors, oxidized LDL receptors, and acetylated LDL receptors, was significantly increased, while there was downregulation of genes effecting cholesterol efflux, including ABCA1, ABCG1, and apoE. There was a highly significant correlation between glomerular filtration rate, inflammation, and lipid metabolism genes, supporting a possible role of abnormal lipid metabolism in the pathogenesis of DN. These data suggest that renal lipid metabolism may serve as a target for specific therapies aimed at slowing the progression of glomerulosclerosis. 相似文献

The pathogenesis of aortic valve stenosis (AS) is characterized by the accumulation of LDL-derived cholesterol in the diseased valves. Since LDL particles also contain plant sterols, we investigated whether plant sterols accumulate in aortic valve lesions. Serum samples were collected from 82 patients with severe AS and from 12 control subjects. Aortic valves were obtained from a subpopulation of 21 AS patients undergoing valve surgery and from 10 controls. Serum and valvular total cholesterol and noncholesterol sterols were measured by gas-liquid chromatography. Noncholesterol sterols, including both cholesterol precursors and sterols reflecting cholesterol absorption, were detected in serum samples and aortic valves. The higher the ratios to cholesterol of the cholesterol precursors and absorption markers in serum, the higher their ratios in the stenotic aortic valves (r=0.74, P<0.001 for lathosterol and r=0.88, P<0.001 for campesterol). The valvular ratio to cholesterol of lathosterol correlated negatively with the aortic valve area (r= -0.47, P=0.045), suggesting attenuation of cholesterol synthesis with increasing severity of AS. The higher the absorption of cholesterol, the higher the plant sterol contents in stenotic aortic valves. These findings suggest that local accumulation of plant sterols and cholesterol precursors may participate in the pathobiology of aortic valve disease. 相似文献

The fate of radiolabelled campesterol, sitosterol and 24-methylenecholesterol fed in chemically-defined diets to honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) workers was determined. At various intervals, sterols of prepupae, newly emerged adults and queens were analyzed qualitatively, quantitatively and radiochemically and it was determined that there was not sufficient radioactivity associated with cholesterol and/or desmosterol in any of the samples to verify that any of the three C28 and C29 sterols was dealkylated and converted to cholesterol. Similarly, there was no evidence for the conversion of campesterol or sitosterol to 24-methylenecholesterol. It was concluded that the major portion of the sterols incorporated into the tissues of the brood larvae originated from the worker bees used to establish the colony. There is good evidence supporting the premise that the workers can make available sterols from their endogenous pools to the nutrient in the hive and that they can replenish these sterols with those from the artificial diet. The queen is also able to replenish sterols utilized in egg production from those obtained by the workers from the artificial diet, and at the end of nine weeks queens contained more than four times as much sterol, on a ‘μg sterol per g fresh weight’ basis, than was found in fertile queens at the beginning of the test period. 相似文献

One of the best investigated binary lipid mixtures is the lecithin-cholesterol system. We show here that it is possible to modify the cholesterol in such a way that it can be polymerized without changing its behaviour in mixtures with lecithin. The polymerizable derivatives exhibit a very similar phase diagram in the mixture with dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine as the cholesterol itself. This is demonstrated by filmbalance measurements. 相似文献

Progesterone has been isolated from different samples of 22-dehydro phytosterots of previously known composition, kept in a laboratory collection for periods from 10 to 18 years. It is not present in detectable amount in cholesterol, fucosterol or desmosterol, or in freshly prepared samples of stigmasterol. The possibility of progesterone being an autoxidation artifact is thus emphasized, in particular in the environment, and hence, in concentrating organisms. 相似文献

In vivo conversion of [4-14C]sitosterol and [22,23-3H]sitosterol to stigmasterol in barley seedlings
Six-day-old barley seedlings were allowed to take up [4-14C]sitosterol and [22, 23-3H]sitosterol for 2.5 hr and the incorporation into the sterol fractions was determined after 0, 6, 12 and 24 hr. Sitosterol was readily incorporated into every sterol class. The 3H/14C ratio in the free forms dropped when compared with the 3H/14C ratio of the administered sitosterol. In the free sterol, radioactive stigmasterol, showing a 3H/14C ratio half that of the sitosterol 3H/14C ratio, was isolated and its radiochemical purity established by dilution with carrier material and crystallization to constant specific activity. 相似文献

Marked differences in cholesterol synthesis between neurons and glial cells from postnatal rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Neurons have a high demand for cholesterol to develop and maintain membrane-rich structures like axons, dendrites and synapses, but it remains unclear, whether they can satisfy their need by costly de novo synthesis. To address this, we compared cholesterol synthesis in serum-free cultures of highly purified CNS neurons and glial cells from postnatal rats. We observed marked cell-specific differences: Compared with glial cells, neurons showed different profiles of biosynthetic enzymes, post-squalene precursors and cholesterol metabolites, and they produced cholesterol less efficiently, possibly because of very low levels of lanosterol-converting enzymes. Astrocytes responded to inhibition of cholesterol synthesis with a much stronger up-regulation of biosynthetic enzymes than neurons. Our results support the idea that neurons cannot produce cholesterol efficiently and that they depend on an external source of this lipid. 相似文献

5-Lipoxygenase (5-LO) is a key enzyme involved into biosynthesis of leukotrienes (LTs), mediating the host defense system, and acting simultaneously as inflammatory agents. In this work the effect of anionic cholesterol derivatives on 5-LO activity has been investigated. Cholesterol sulfate activates human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) and stimulates their adhesion to endothelium and collagen. Cholesterol sulfate and cholesterol phosphate suppressed leukotriene production in PMNL and in rat basophil leukemia (RBL-1) cell line as well as in homogenates of these cells. Kinetic characteristics of the effect of anionic cholesterol derivatives on leukotriene synthesis have been obtained. In all experiments cholesterol phosphate (charge-2) was shown to be more potent inhibitor than cholesterol sulfate (charge-1). We believe that this fact highlights the importance of negatively charged ester groups for suppression of 5-LO activity. 相似文献

脂质代谢是人体三大代谢之一,在激素等信号分子的调控下,脂质代谢处于稳定平衡的状态。当稳态被打破,血液中甘油三酯(triglyceride,TG)、胆固醇等水平发生变化,最终引起动脉粥样硬化(atherosclerosis,AS)、肥胖等脂质代谢疾病。长链非编码RNA(long noncoding RNA,lncRNA)是一组不具备蛋白质编码能力,长度大于200个核苷酸的RNA,近来研究发现,lncRNA与机体代谢、炎症和免疫系统以及血管功能的调控密切相关。大量文献表明,lncRNA参与脂质代谢调控,因而有望成为一些脂质代谢疾病的潜在治疗靶点。 相似文献
