Cholesterol and bile acid synthesis in Hep G2 cells. Metabolic effects of 26- and 7 alpha-hydroxycholesterol.


ABSTRACT: 1. Using a human hepatoma (Hep G2) cell line that continually synthesizes 3 beta-hydroxy-5-cholenoic acid, lithocholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid and cholic acid we have determined the metabolism and biological effects of 26-hydroxycholesterol and 7 alpha-hydroxycholesterol. 2. Addition of 26-hydroxycholesterol to the medium (6 microM) downregulated cholesterol and chenodeoxycholic acid synthesis. 3. The predominant metabolite of 26-hydroxycholesterol was 3 beta-hydroxy-5-cholenoic acid. 4. Cholesterol synthesis was not affected by the addition of 7 alpha-hydroxycholesterol (6 and 12 microM). The predominant metabolite of 7 alpha-hydroxycholesterol was chenodeoxycholic acid. 5. In Hep G2 cells 7 alpha-hydroxylation of 26-hydroxycholesterol is not well expressed.
