Product Description
7ß,27-Dihydroxycholesterol (7β, 27-OHC) is a potent and specific RORγt agonist (Ki=120 nM). 7ß,27-Dihydroxycholesterol promotes the differentiation of mouse and human CD4+ Th17 cells. 7ß,27-Dihydroxycholesterol also increases CYP27A1-dependent IL-17 production.
7β,27-Dihydroxycholesterol (7β,27-OHC) is a dihydroxylated oxysterol derived from cholesterol metabolism via the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP27A1. It has a molecular formula of C₂₇H₄₆O₃ and a molecular weight of 418.65 g/mol. The compound is an oxysterol and agonist of retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor γ (RORγ) and RORγt. It activates RORγ- or RORγt-dependent signaling with EC₅₀ values of 691 and 1,045 nM, respectively, in reporter assays.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
RORγt 120 nM (Ki)
7β,27-Dihydroxycholesterol targets the retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor γ (RORγ) and RORγt. As an agonist, it activates RORγ- or RORγt-dependent signaling. It promotes the differentiation of mouse and human CD4⁺ Th17 cells. The compound is a potent and selective activator of RORγt with a Kᵢ of 120 nM. It functions as a bioactive lipid involved in cholesterol homeostasis and cellular signaling.
ln Vitro
In vitro treatments of 7ß,27-Dihydroxycholesterol (0.3 μM or 6 μM; 2 h) stimulate the production of IL-17 in human and mouse Th17 cells [1].
In vitro, 7β,27-Dihydroxycholesterol activates RORγ- or RORγt-dependent signaling with EC₅₀ values of 691 and 1,045 nM, respectively, in reporter assays using HEK293T cells expressing the recombinant human receptors. It promotes the differentiation of mouse and human CD4⁺ Th17 cells. The compound is a potent and selective RORγt agonist with a Kᵢ of 120 nM. These activities make it useful for studying oxysterol signaling and Th17 cell biology.
ln Vivo
In mice, 7ß,27-Dihydroxycholesterol (60 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; twice daily for 3 days) increases the production of IL-17 [1].
In vivo, 7β,27-Dihydroxycholesterol is used in biomedical research to study lipid metabolism, nuclear receptor regulation, and inflammatory responses. Its role as an oxysterol agonist of RORγt suggests potential effects on Th17-driven inflammatory responses in vivo. The compound is also studied for its involvement in cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurodegenerative disease mechanisms. Specific in vivo efficacy data are not detailed in the available sources.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cell-based enzyme/receptor binding assays for 7β,27-Dihydroxycholesterol typically involve competitive binding studies using purified RORγ or RORγt protein. Standard protocols include incubating varying concentrations of the test compound with the receptor ligand-binding domain and a radiolabeled or fluorescent probe in appropriate buffer systems, followed by separation of bound from free ligand via filtration or fluorescence polarization. Binding affinity (Kᵢ values) is calculated using nonlinear regression analysis. The compound shows a Kᵢ of 120 nM for RORγt. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) may also be employed.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays for 7β,27-Dihydroxycholesterol typically utilize reporter gene assays with HEK293T cells expressing recombinant human RORγ or RORγt and a luciferase reporter. Standard protocols involve culturing cells in appropriate media at 37°C in 5% CO₂, followed by treatment with varying concentrations of the compound (typically 0.01-100 μM) for 18-24 hours. Reporter gene activity is quantified by luminescence. EC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves. The compound shows EC₅₀ of 691 nM for RORγ and 1,045 nM for RORγt. Th17 cell differentiation assays are also used.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for 7β,27-Dihydroxycholesterol typically involve administration in rodent models to study lipid metabolism, inflammatory responses, or disease mechanisms. Standard protocols include dosing at ranges of 1-50 mg/kg body weight via oral gavage, intraperitoneal injection, or intravenous injection, with observations over 7-14 days depending on the study objectives. Pharmacodynamic assessments may include blood sampling for oxysterol analysis, tissue collection for histopathological examination, and monitoring of body weight and general health parameters. All animal studies must comply with institutional ethical guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties for 7β,27-Dihydroxycholesterol are consistent with an oxysterol. The compound has a molecular weight of 418.65 g/mol and shows solubility in DMF (2 mg/mL), ethanol (20 mg/mL), and ethanol:PBS (1:2) (0.30 mg/mL). It should be stored as a crystalline solid at -20°C. For in vivo administration, formulations using suitable vehicles may be employed. Definitive PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, and AUC require formal studies. The compound is generated through enzymatic and oxidative processes.
