7-Ketocholesterol
Based on 6 publication(s) in Google Scholar
7-Ketocholesterol is an oxidation product of cholesterol, widely present in atherosclerotic plaques, and has a stronger atherogenic effect than cholesterol. 7-Ketocholesterol can inhibit the rate-limiting enzymes involved in bile acid and cholesterol synthesis, such as cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase and HMG-CoA reductase. 7-Ketocholesterol exhibits pro-inflammatory effects both in vivo and in vitro and can induce cell apoptosis (apoptosis).

7-Ketocholesterol (50 μM, 2.5-2 hours) can enhance leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion via the p38 MAPK pathway[4]. 7-Ketocholesterol (2.5-40 μg/mL, 24 hours) induces apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner by activating caspase-3/7, -8, and -12 in human microvascular endothelial cells[5].

-
Concentration:50 μM
-
Incubation Time:0.5-2 h
-
Result:Stimulated the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, reaching a peak within 30-120 minutes, with no significant effect on JNK. Enhanced the adhesion of THP-1 cells to HUVECs and upregulated the expression of E-selectin. Promoted the expression of E-selectin by activating the transcription factor ATF-2.

Incubation Time:24 h
-
Result:The average cell viability of HMVEC cells treated with 7-Ketocholesterol at concentrations of 40, 20, 10, 5, and 2.5 μg/ml for 24 hours was 45.33%, 72.83% (p < 0.001), 82.7% (p < 0.05), 88.47%, and 88.5% (p > 0.05), respectively, while the untreated control was 88.83%.

Animal Model:Brown Norway rats (150-200 g)[3]
-
Dosage:5, 10, 15, 20 mg/mL
-
Administration:Implanting biodegradable wafers containing 7-Ketocholesterol into the anterior chamber of rats' eyes, single dose
-
Result:Significantly increased angiogenesis, with a large infiltration of macrophages detected by immunohistochemistry. Promoted the growth of new blood vessels originating from the limbus and extending through the cornea, peaking between days 7 and 10 after implantation. Led to a marked increase in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), IL-1b, and GRO/KC in the aqueous humor.
