Like cholesterol, these oxysterols have 27 carbons, they are composed of a sterane nucleus and have a hydroxyl function in position 3. The oxysterols 7-ketocholesterol and 7β-hydroxycholesterol are mainly formed by cholesterol autoxidation and are biomarkers of oxidative stress. These two oxysterols are frequently found at increased levels in the biological fluids (plasma, cerebrospinal fluid), tissues and/or organs (arterial wall, retina, brain) of patients with age-related diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases (mainly Alzheimer’s disease), ocular diseases (cataract, age-related macular degeneration), and sarcopenia. Depending on the cell type considered, 7-ketocholesterol and 7β-hydroxycholesterol induce either caspase- dependent or -independent types of cell death associated with mitochondrial and peroxisomal dysfunctions, autophagy and oxidative stress. The caspase dependent type of cell death associated with oxidative stress and autophagy is defined as oxiapoptophagy. These two oxysterols are also inducers of inflammation. These biological features associated with the toxicity of 7-ketocholesterol, and 7β-hydroxycholesterol are often observed in patients with age-related diseases, suggesting an involvement of these oxysterols in the pathophysiology of these disorders. The cytotoxic effects of 7-ketocholesterol and 7β-hydroxycholesterol are counteracted on different cell models by representative nutrients of the Mediterranean diet: ω3 and ω9 fatty acids, polyphenols, and tocopherols. There are also evidences, mainly in cardiovascular diseases, of the benefits of α-tocopherol and phenolic compounds.

Resolution of inflammation mechanisms in cancer includes clearance of tumor debris, counter-regulation of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids and cytokines, and suppression of leukocyte infiltration. Conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy, radiation, anti-angiogenic therapy, and immune checkpoint inhibitors directly or indirectly can lead to the generation of pro-tumorigenic cellular debris. Over the past two decades, a potential paradigm shift has emerged in the inflammation field with the discovery of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), including resolvins, lipoxins, maresins, and protectins. SPMs are structurally distinct families of mediators grouped together by their pro-resolving “debris-clearing” functions. \"Pro-resolving\" therapies are in clinical development for various inflammation-driven diseases, including cancer. SPMs, as novel cancer therapeutics, have tremendous potential to enhance current cancer therapy. The mechanisms of SPMs as anti-cancer therapeutics are under active investigation by various laboratories worldwide.
