27-Hydroxycholesterol Enhances Secretion of Extracellular Vesicles by ROS-Induced Dysregulation of Lysosomes
Open accessAbstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) serve as crucial mediators of cell-to-cell communication in normal physiology as well as in diseased states; they have been largely studied in regard to their role in cancer progression. However, the mechanisms by which their biogenesis and secretion are regulated by metabolic or endocrine factors remain unknown. Here, we delineate a mechanism by which EV secretion is regulated by a cholesterol metabolite, 27-hydroxycholesterol (27HC), where treatment of myeloid immune cells (RAW 264.7 and J774A.1) with 27HC impairs lysosomal homeostasis, leading to shunting of multivesicular bodies (MVBs) away from lysosomal degradation, toward secretion as EVs. This altered lysosomal function is likely caused by mitochondrial dysfunction and subsequent increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS). Interestingly, cotreatment with a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant rescued the lysosomal impairment and attenuated the 27HC-mediated increase in EV secretion. Overall, our findings establish how a cholesterol metabolite regulates EV secretion and paves the way for the development of strategies to regulate cancer progression by controlling EV secretion.

27-hydroxycholesterol works through liver x receptors in myeloid immune cells to suppress T cell proliferation and function, stimulate secretion of pro-tumor extracellular vesicles, and promote tumor and metastatic growth.
“An oxysterol metabolite of cholesterol, 27-hydroxycholesterol, was found to work through the liver x receptors in myeloid immune cells to robustly suppress T cell proliferation and function, and stimulate the secretion of pro-tumor extracellular vesicles, ultimately promoting the growth of tumors and metastatic lesions (17, 20–23).”
From Cholesterol efflux protein, ABCA1, supports anticancer functions of myeloid immune cells (2026) · cites this paper as [21]
The introductory passage reports that 27HC acts through liver X receptors in myeloid cells to suppress T-cell expansion, and the Discussion reports that 27HC-induced extracellular vesicles promote tumor growth and metastasis. But the paper attributes increased vesicle secretion to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and altered lysosomal function; it does not establish liver X receptors as the mechanism for that secretion or the resulting tumor growth.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
