Description

27-Hydroxycholesterol (27-OHC) is a selective estrogen receptor modulator and an agonist of the liver X receptor.

IC50 & Target

Human Endogenous Metabolite

 

In Vitro

27-Hydroxycholesterol is an endogenous selective estrogen receptor modulator that displays significant partial agonist activity in a variety of cellular models of estrogen receptor action. It positively regulates both gene transcription and cell proliferation in cellular models of breast cancer[1]. 27-Hydroxycholesterol, through estrogen receptor activation, triggers deleterious effect in prostate cancer cell lines. 27-Hydroxycholesterol significantly increases cell proliferation of LNCaP and PC3 cells and this effect can be attenuated by estrogen receptor inhibitors[2]. 27-Hydroxycholesterol is an oxysterol produced from cholesterol by the monooxygenase CYP27A1, which regulates intracellular cholesterol homeostasis. 27-Hydroxycholesterol also acts as an endogenous selective estrogen receptor modulator capable of increasing breast cancer growth and metastasis. 27-Hydroxycholesterol levels can be modulated by statins or direct inhibition of CYP27A1, thereby attenuating its pro-tumorigenic activities[3]. 27-hydroxylation of cholesterol is an important pathway for LXR activation in response to cholesterol overload[4].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% EtOH    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (4.15 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL EtOH stock solution (16.7 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% EtOH    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: 1 mg/mL (2.48 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 1 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL EtOH stock solution (10.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
