7Beta-Hydroxycholesterol
Catalog No: CFN90610
7beta-Hydroxycholesterol, a major cytotoxin in oxidized LDL, induces Ca(2+) oscillations, MAP kinase activation and apoptosis in human aortic smooth muscle cells. 7beta-Hydroxycholesterol and 7-ketocholesterol have dual cytotoxic effects on the cells of the vascular wall by their ability to induce apoptosis in endothelial and smooth muscle cells and necrosis in fibroblasts. 7beta-Hydroxycholesterol can inhibit the proliferation of NCI-H460 cells through apoptosis via caspase activation. It can reinforce the susceptibility of K562 adriamycin-resistant cells to this drug, it also can enhance radiosensitivity in RDM4 cells.
