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.

| 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.
