Data provided by the National Library of Medicine- Rapid analysis of oxysterols by HPLC and UV spectroscopy.
- RPE cells internalize low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and oxidized LDL (oxLDL) in large quantities in vitro and in vivo.
- Cytotoxicity of oxidized low-density lipoprotein in cultured RPE cells is dependent on the formation of 7-ketocholesterol.
- Expression and localization of sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) in monkey retina.
- Uptake of cholesterol by the retina occurs primarily via a low density lipoprotein receptor-mediated process.
- Intraretinal lipid transport is dependent on high density lipoprotein-like particles and class B scavenger receptors.
- Peroxiredoxin 3 (PDRX3) is highly expressed in the primate retina especially in blue cones.
- Retinoic acid regulates the human methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MSRA) gene via two distinct promoters.
- Photodamage generates 7-keto- and 7-hydroxycholesterol in the rat retina via a free radical-mediated mechanism.
- Methionine sulfoxide reductase B2 is highly expressed in the retina and protects retinal pigmented epithelium cells from oxidative damage.
- Sterculic acid antagonizes 7-ketocholesterol-mediated inflammation and inhibits choroidal neovascularization.
- 7-Ketocholesterol-induced inflammation signals mostly through the TLR4 receptor both in vitro and in vivo.
- Extra-hepatic metabolism of 7-ketocholesterol occurs by esterification to fatty acids via cPLA2α and SOAT1 followed by selective efflux to HDL.
- Inflammasomes Induced by 7-Ketocholesterol and Other Stimuli in RPE and in Bone Marrow-Derived Cells Differ Markedly in Their Production of IL-1β and IL-18.
