| Popis: | Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare, recessively inherited lipid storage disease characterized by a markedly reduced production of chenodeoxycholic acid and an increased formation of 25-hydroxylated bile alco- hols and cholestanol. Patients with this disease are known to have mutations in the sterol 27-hydroxylase ( Cyp27 ) gene. However, one study showed that mice with a disrupted Cyp27 gene did not have any CTX-related clinical or bio- chemical abnormalities. To explore the reason, hepatic cho- lesterol, cholestanol, and 12 intermediates in bile acid bio- synthetic pathways were quantified in 10 Cyp27 � / � and 7 Cyp27 � / � mice, two CTX patients (untreated and treated with chenodeoxycholic acid), and four human control sub- jects by high resolution gas chromatography-mass spectrom- etry. Mitochondrial 27-hydroxycholesterol and 5 � -choles- tane-3 � ,7 � ,12 � ,27-tetrol were virtually absent in both Cyp27 � / � mice and CTX patients. In Cyp27 � / � mice, mi- crosomal concentrations of intermediates in the early bile acid biosynthetic pathway (7 � -hydroxycholesterol, 7 � - hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one, 7 � ,12 � -dihydroxy-4-cholesten-3- one, and 5 � -cholestane-3 � ,7 � ,12 � -triol), 25-hydroxylated bile alcohols (5 � -cholestane-3 � ,7 � ,12 � ,25-tetrol, 5 � -cholestane- 3 � ,7 � ,12 � ,23 R ,25-pentol, and 5 � -cholestane-3 � ,7 � ,12 � ,24 R , 25-pentol), and cholestanol were all significantly elevated compared with those in Cyp27 � / � mice, although the levels were lower than those in untreated CTX patients. The inter- mediate levels in early bile acid biosynthesis were more ele- vated in male (16-86% of CTX) than in female Cyp27 � / � mice (7-30% of CTX). In contrast, 25-hydroxylated bile alco- hol concentrations were not significantly different between male and female Cyp27 � / � mice and were considerably lower (less than 14%) than those in CTX patients. These results suggest that 1 ) in Cyp27 � / � mice, especially in fe- males, classic bile acid biosynthesis via 7 � -hydroxycholesterol is not stimulated as much as in CTX patients; and 2 ) formed 25-hydroxylated bile alcohols are more efficiently metabo- lized in Cyp27 � / � mice than in CTX patients. —Honda, A., G.
