20(S)-Hydroxycholesterol is an allosteric activator of the Hedgehog signaling pathway Smoothened (Smo) oncoprotein. It activates Hedgehog (Hh) signaling with EC50 value of ~ 3μM for induction of Hh reporter gene transcription in NIH 3T3 cells.

Synonyms: 20α-Hydroxycholesterol

Abstract: The Aster proteins (encoded by the Gramd1a-c genes) contain a ligand-binding fold structurally similar to a START domain and mediate nonvesicular plasma membrane (PM) to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) cholesterol transport. In an effort to develop small mol. modulators of Asters, we identified 20α-hydroxycholesterol (HC) and U18666A as lead compounds Unfortunately, both 20α-HC and U18666A target other sterol homeostatic proteins, limiting their utility. 20α-HC inhibits sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2) processing, and U18666A is an inhibitor of the vesicular trafficking protein Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1). To develop potent and selective Aster inhibitors, we synthesized a series of compounds by modifying 20α-HC and U18666A. Among these, AI (Aster inhibitor)-1l, which has a longer side chain than 20α-HC, selectively bound to Aster-C. The crystal structure of Aster-C in complex with AI-1l suggests that sequence and flexibility differences in the loop that gates the binding cavity may account for the ligand specificity for Aster C. We further identified the U18666A analog AI-3d as a potent inhibitor of all three Aster proteins. AI-3d blocks the ability of Asters to bind and transfer cholesterol in vitro and in cells. Importantly, AI-3d also inhibits the movement of low-d. lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol to the ER, although AI-3d does not block NPC1. This finding positions the nonvesicular Aster pathway downstream of NPC1-dependent vesicular transport in the movement of LDL cholesterol to the ER. Selective Aster inhibitors represent useful chem. tools to distinguish vesicular and nonvesicular sterol transport mechanisms in mammalian cells.

Biological Activity

In Vitro:

Cell Line
Concentration Treated Time Description References
Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) 0.5-5 μM 0, 4, 7, 14 days To evaluate the effect of 20(S)-Hydroxycholesterol on osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. Results showed significant increases in ALP activity, intracellular calcium levels, and mineralization, as well as elevated mRNA expression and protein levels of osteogenic markers OCN, OSX, OPN, and RUNX2. Stem Cell Res Ther. 2017 Dec 6;8(1):276
Smo-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts 5 μM 24, 48, and 72 h 20(S)-Hydroxycholesterol failed to induce the expression of Notch target genes in Smo-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts, further confirming the role of Hedgehog signaling in 20(S)-hydroxycholesterol-induced Notch target gene expression. J Bone Miner Res. 2010 Apr;25(4):782-95
M2-10B4 bone marrow stromal cells 5 μM 48 h 20(S)-Hydroxycholesterol significantly induced the mRNA expression of Notch target genes HES-1, HEY-1, and HEY-2, whereas the nonosteogenic oxysterols 7α-hydroxycholesterol and 7-ketocholesterol did not induce these genes.
