Cholesterol 26-hydroxylase activity of hamster liver mitochondria: isotope ratio analysis using deuterated 26-hydroxycholesterol.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Deuterated 26-hydroxycholesterol prepared from diosgenin by modifications of existing methods permitted the determination of mitochondrial cholesterol 26-hydroxylase using endogenous cholesterol as the substrate. Enzyme activity in a group of Syrian hamsters was found to be 10.3 +/- 3.7 pmol.min-1.mg protein-1.

1. When [(14)C]cholesterol was incubated with rat liver mitochondria, radioactive 26-hydroxycholesterol, 3beta-hydroxychol-5-enoic acid and other bile acids were isolated from the incubation mixture. 2. In the absence of added 26-hydroxycholesterol, the specific radioactivity of the 26-hydroxycholesterol formed from [(14)C]cholesterol during the incubation was higher than that of the 3beta-hydr...

The effect of 26-hydroxycholesteroI and other intermediates in bile acid synthesis on HMG-CoA reductase activity was studied in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell culture. Incubation of CHO cells for 5 hr in 0.25 PM 26-hydroxycholesterol caused a 40% inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase activity. All other intermediates tested including 3B-hydroxy-5cholenoic acid and cholest-5-ene-3B,7a,26-triol, oxid...
متن کاملEvidence that 24- and 27-hydroxylation are not involved in the cholesterol-induced down-regulation of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase in mouse liver.
Several authors have suggested that 27-hydroxycholesterol may be an important physiological regulator of cholesterol homeostasis. In the present study we investigated the possibility that 24- or 27-hydroxylation of cholesterol is of importance for the down-regulation of hydroxymethylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA reductase in mouse liver induced by dietary cholesterol. Using an accurate method based on iso...
متن کاملSynthesis of 27-hydroxycholesterol in rat liver mitochondria: HPLC assay and marked activation by exogenous cholesterol.
Sterol 27-hydroxylase, the mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the first step in oxidation of the sterol side chain in hepatic bile acid synthesis, also catalyzes the synthesis of 27-hydroxycholesterol from cholesterol. We have developed a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay for this enzyme, using either endogenous or exogenous cholesterol as substrate and cholesterol oxidase to...
متن کاملCholesterol 7 -hydroxylase in rat liver microsomal preparations.
Subcellular fractions containing microsomes prepared from rat livers homogenized in the absence of EDTA catalysed the oxidation of cholesterol to 7alpha-hydroxycholesterol, 7-oxocholesterol, 7beta-hydroxycholesterol and 5alpha-cholestane-3beta,5,6beta-triol. These reactions required native protein, molecular oxygen and NADPH. It is suggested that these compounds are formed by a peroxidation ana...
