Introduction: Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) carriers' tendency toward hypercholesterolemia may contribute to Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk through oxysterols, which traverse the blood-brain barrier.
Methods: Relationships between baseline plasma oxysterols, APOE status, serum lipids, and cognitive impairment risk were examined in 328 postmenopausal women from the Women's Health Initiative Memory Study. Women were followed for 25 years or until incident dementia or cognitive impairment.
Results: Levels of 24(S)-hydroxycholesterol (24-OHC), 27-hydroxycholesterol (27-OHC), and 24-OHC/27-OHC ratio did not differ by APOE status (p's > 0.05). Higher 24-OHC and 27-OHC were associated with higher total, low density lipoprotein (LDL), non-high density lipoprotein (HDL), remnant, LDL/HDL, and total/HDL cholesterol and triglycerides (p's < 0.05). Higher 24-OHC/27-OHC was associated with greater dementia risk (hazard ratio = 1.51, 95% confidence interval:1.02-2.22), which interaction analyses revealed as significant for APOE3 and APOE4+, but not APOE2+ carriers.
Discussion: Less favorable lipid profiles were associated with higher oxysterol levels. A higher ratio of 24-OHC/27-OHC may contribute to dementia risk in APOE3 and APOE4+ carriers.

Oxysterols, as metabolites of cholesterol, play a key role in cholesterol homeostasis, autophagosome formation, and regulation of immune responses. Disorders in oxysterol metabolism are closely related to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. To systematically investigate the profound molecular regulatory mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, it is necessary to quantify oxysterols and their metabolites in central and peripheral biospecimens simultaneously and accurately.

Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are specialized proteins that convey specific lipids across the cytosol to regulate the lipid composition of organelles and the plasma membrane. Quantifying to which extent these LTPs recognize and transfer various lipid species and subspecies is of prime interest to define their cellular role(s). Here, we describe how to measure in vitro the relative affinity of Osh6p, a yeast phosphatidylserine (PS)/phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI(4)P) exchanger belonging to the oxysterol-binding protein(OSBP)-related protein (ORP) family, for PS and phosphoinositide subspecies.

Background: Many members of the oxysterol-binding protein-related protein (ORP) family have been characterized in detail over the past decades, but the lipid transport and other functions of ORP7 still remain elusive. What is known about ORP7 points toward an endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane-localized protein, which also interacts with GABA type A receptor-associated protein like 2 (GABARAPL2) and unlipidated Microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3B (LC3B), suggesting a further autophagosomal/lysosomal association. Functional roles of ORP7 have been suggested in cholesterol efflux, hypercholesterolemia, and macroautophagy.

Oxathiapiprolin, a novel fungicide targeting oxysterol-binding proteins (OSBP), has proven to be effective against various oomycete diseases, but its effects on pathogens remain underexplored. In this study, we demonstrated that oxathiapiprolin inhibits mycelium growth, sporangium production, zoospore release, and oospore production in , with 50% effective concentrations ranging from 0.000153 to 0.

Venetoclax is a first-in-class orally administered B-cell lymphoma-2 inhibitor used to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Venetoclax is primarily metabolized in the liver by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 to its major metabolite M27, via M5, and M2, M3, and M4 via oxidation. Although venetoclax is a breakthrough in CLL treatment, managing drug safety and toxicity remains a clinical challenge.
