(25R)-26-Hydroxycholesterol, 25-hydroxycholesterol, and 3β-hydroxy-5α-cholest-8(14)-en-l5-one, all extraordinarily potent suppressors of sterol synthesis and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase activity in mammalian cells, have been studied with respect to their effects on the metabolism of low density lipoproteins (LDL) by human hepatocarcinoma (HepG2) cells. The three oxysterols differed markedly in their effects on LDL metabolism, as measured by the combination of cell-associated plus degraded125I-LDL. The 26-hydroxysterol, at concentrations from 0.1 μM to 75 μM, lowered LDL metabolism. In contrast, the 25-hydroxysterol and the 15-ketosterol, at concentrations from 0.05 μM to 2.5 μM, caused an increase in LDL metabolism. At higher concentrations of these oxysterols, LDL metabolism was suppressed. However, upon increasing the concentration of the 15-ketosterol further to 75 μM, an extraordinary 9-fold increase in LDL metabolism was observed. In contrast to their effects on LDL metabolism, the 25-hydroxysterol and the 15-ketosterol caused simple concentration-dependent decreases in the levels of HMG-CoA reductase activity under the same conditions.
