Nearest-neighbor recognition measurements have been made for an exchangeable phospholipid (A) interacting with an exchangeable form of cholesterol (B) in host membranes derived from 1, 2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and varying concentrations of cholesterol, 7beta-hydroxycholesterol (7beta-OH), and 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-OH). Whereas partial replacement of cholesterol with 7beta-OH strengthens the association between A and B, a similar substitution with 25-OH weakens this association. A model that accounts for this dichotomy, and the possible relevance of these findings to the cytotoxicity of 7beta-OH and to Alzheimer's disease are briefly discussed.
已经对一种可交换磷脂(A)与可交换形式的胆固醇(B)在由1,2-二棕榈酰-sn-甘油-3-磷酸胆碱和不同浓度的胆固醇、7β-羟基胆固醇(7β-OH)和25-羟基胆固醇(25-OH)衍生的宿主膜中的相互作用进行了近邻识别测量。用7β-OH部分替代胆固醇会增强A和B之间的结合,而用25-OH进行类似替代则会削弱这种结合。简要讨论了一个解释这种二分法的模型,以及这些发现与7β-OH的细胞毒性和阿尔茨海默病的可能相关性。
