Cholesterol biosynthesis serves as a central metabolic hub for numerous biological processes in health and disease. A detailed, integrative single-view description of how the cholesterol pathway is structured and how it interacts with other pathway systems is lacking in the existing literature. Here we provide a systematic review of the existing literature and present a detailed pathway diagram that describes the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway (the mevalonate, the Kandutch-Russell and the Bloch pathway) and shunt pathway that leads to 24(S),25-epoxycholesterol synthesis. The diagram has been produced using the Systems Biology Graphical Notation (SBGN) and is available in the SBGN-ML format, a human readable and machine semantically parsable open community file format. << Less

Two parallel pathways produce cholesterol: the Bloch and Kandutsch-Russell pathways. Here we used stable isotope labeling and isotopomer analysis to trace sterol flux through the two pathways in mice. Surprisingly, no tissue used the canonical K-R pathway. Rather, a hybrid pathway was identified that we call the modified K-R (MK-R) pathway. Proportional flux through the Bloch pathway varied from 8% in preputial gland to 97% in testes, and the tissue-specificity observed in vivo was retained in cultured cells. The distribution of sterol isotopomers in plasma mirrored that of liver. Sterol depletion in cultured cells increased flux through the Bloch pathway, whereas overexpression of 24-dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR24) enhanced usage of the MK-R pathway. Thus, relative use of the Bloch and MK-R pathways is highly variable, tissue-specific, flux dependent, and epigenetically fixed. Maintenance of two interdigitated pathways permits production of diverse bioactive sterols that can be regulated independently of cholesterol. << Less

The RSH/Smith--Lemli--Opitz syndrome (RSH/SLOS) is a human autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by multiple malformations, a distinct behavioral phenotype with autistic features and mental retardation. RSH/SLOS is due to an inborn error of cholesterol biosynthesis caused by mutation of the 3 beta-hydroxysterol Delta(7)-reductase gene. To further our understanding of the developmental and neurological processes that underlie the pathophysiology of this disorder, we have developed a mouse model of RSH/SLOS by disruption of the 3 beta-hydroxysterol Delta(7)-reductase gene. Here we provide the biochemical, phenotypic and neurophysiological characterization of this genetic mouse model. As in human patients, the RSH/SLOS mouse has a marked reduction of serum and tissue cholesterol levels and a marked increase of serum and tissue 7-dehydrocholesterol levels. Phenotypic similarities between this mouse model and the human syndrome include intra-uterine growth retardation, variable craniofacial anomalies including cleft palate, poor feeding with an uncoordinated suck, hypotonia and decreased movement. Neurophysiological studies showed that although the response of frontal cortex neurons to the neurotransmitter gamma-amino-n-butyric acid was normal, the response of these same neurons to glutamate was significantly impaired. This finding provides insight into potential mechanisms underlying the neurological dysfunction seen in this human mental retardation syndrome and suggests that this mouse model will allow the testing of potential therapeutic interventions. << Less
