Effects of cyclosporin on cholesterol 27-hydroxylation and LDL receptor activity in HepG2 cells.
The hypothesis that mitochondrial sterol 27-hydroxylase plays a role in the sterol-mediated down-regulation of LDL receptor activity was evaluated in HepG2 cells. 27-Hydroxycholesterol was found to be more potent at suppressing LDL receptor activity than cholesterol (IC50 values of 8 mu M and 142 mu...
