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.

7β-Hydroxycholesterol cytotoxicity has been shown in vivo and in vitro to be dependent on the accumulation of its esters. We show in our study, using a detergent-free raft preparation and LC/MS lipid content analysis, that membrane microdomains isolated from 7β-hydroxycholesterol-treated

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
