Why 7-ketocholesterol matters now: A rapid review of its pathogenic and therapeutic relevance
7-Ketocholesterol (7-KC), a major oxysterol formed through cholesterol autoxidation, is increasingly recognized as a pathogenic mediator in ageing and chronic disease. Detected in atherosclerotic plaques, Alzheimer’s cortex, aged retina, and lysosomal storage disorders, 7-KC actively drives oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, organelle dysfunction, and oxiapoptophagy. These mechanisms underpin its role in cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and metabolic pathologies. Recent advances highlight nutritional antioxidants, pharmacological agents, microbial bioremediation, and nanotechnology as promising therapeutic avenues. Recognizing 7-KC as both a biomarker and therapeutic target offers opportunities for innovation in diagnostics and treatment of age-related and inflammatory disorders.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is devoted to new experimental and theoretical developments in areas related to steroids including vitamin D, lipids and their metabolomics. The Journal publishes a variety of contributions, including original articles, general and focused reviews, and rapid communications (brief articles of particular interest and clear novelty). Selected cutting-edge topics will be addressed in Special Issues managed by Guest Editors. Special Issues will contain both commissioned reviews and original research papers to provide comprehensive coverage of specific topics, and all submissions will undergo rigorous peer-review prior to publication.
