Rather, a hybrid pathway was identified that we 39 call the modified K-R (MK-R) pathway. Proportional flux through the Bloch pathway varied from 8% in 40 preputial gland to 97% in testes, and the tissue-specificity observed in vivo was retained in cultured cells. 41 The distribution of sterol isotopomers in plasma mirrored that of liver. Sterol depletion in cultured cells 42 increased flux through the Bloch pathway, whereas overexpression of 24-dehydrocholesterol reductase 43 (DHCR24) enhanced usage of the MK-R pathway. Thus, relative use of the Bloch and MK-R pathways is 44 highly variable, tissue-specific, flux dependent, and epigenetically fixed. Maintenance of two 45 interdigitated pathways permits production of diverse bioactive sterols that can be regulated 46 independently of cholesterol. 47 48 3

متن کاملLimiting Cholesterol Biosynthetic Flux Spontaneously Engages Type I IFN Signaling
Cellular lipid requirements are achieved through a combination of biosynthesis and import programs. Using isotope tracer analysis, we show that type I interferon (IFN) signaling shifts the balance of these programs by decreasing synthesis and increasing import of cholesterol and long chain fatty acids. Genetically enforcing this metabolic shift in macrophages is sufficient to render mice resist...
متن کاملConsequences of cellular cholesterol accumulation: basic concepts and physiological implications.
cells of most organs and tissues satisfy their requirements for membrane cholesterol via endogenous cholesterol biosynthesis (1). Many cell types, however, have acquired mechanisms to internalize exogenous sources of cholesterol, usually in the form of plasma-derived lipoproteins (2). Examples include steroid-synthesizing cells, hepatocytes, and macrophages and smooth muscle cells in atheroscle...
متن کاملMeasurement of Reverse Cholesterol Transport Pathways in Humans: In Vivo Rates of Free Cholesterol Efflux, Esterification, and Excretion
BACKGROUND Reverse cholesterol transport from peripheral tissues is considered the principal atheroprotective mechanism of high-density lipoprotein, but quantifying reverse cholesterol transport in humans in vivo remains a challenge. We describe here a method for measuring flux of cholesterol though 3 primary components of the reverse cholesterol transport pathway in vivo in humans: tissue free...
متن کاملRegulation of rat hepatic 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in vivo and in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes.
In the bile acid biosynthetic pathways of humans and the rat, hepatic 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3 alpha-HSDH) catalyzes the stereospecific reduction of the 3-oxo group of bile acid precursors. In addition, 3 alpha-HSDH may serve to shuttle bile acids from sinusoidal to apical (cannalicular) membranes of the rat hepatocyte. The objective of the present study was to define the molecul...
