产品描述

Dehydroergosterol is a naturally occurring, fluorescent analog of cholesterol (ex/em = 324/375 nm) that mimics the properties of cholesterol in cell membranes.[1] It is readily bound by cholesterol-binding proteins and has been used for real-time probing of the sterol environment and to elucidate intracellular sterol trafficking in living organisms.[1]

Dehydroergosterol as an analogue for cholesterol: why it mimics cholesterol so well-or does it?

J Phys Chem B 2014 Jul 3;118(26):7345-57.PMID:24893063DOI:10.1021/jp406883k.

Although Dehydroergosterol (DHE) is one of the most commonly used cholesterol (CHOL) reporters, it has remained unclear why it performs well compared with most other CHOL analogues and what its possible limitations are. We present a comprehensive study of the properties of DHE using a combination of time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, quantum-mechanical electronic structure computations, and classical atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. We first establish that DHE mimics CHOL behavior, as previous studies have suggested, and then move on to elucidate and discuss the particular properties that render DHE so superior. We found that the main reason why DHE mimics CHOL so well is due to its ability to stand upright in a membrane in a manner that is almost identical to that of CHOL. The minor difference in how DHE and CHOL tilt with respect to membrane normal has only faint effects on structural membrane properties, and even the lateral pressure profiles of model membranes with CHOL or DHE are almost identical. These results suggest that the mechanical/elastic effects of DHE on the function of mechanically sensitive membrane proteins are not substantially different from those of CHOL. Our study highlights similar dynamical behavior of CHOL and DHE, which implies that DHE can mimic CHOL in processes with free energies close to the thermal energy.

Fluorescence techniques using Dehydroergosterol to study cholesterol trafficking

Lipids 2008 Dec;43(12):1185-208.PMID:18536950DOI:10.1007/s11745-008-3194-1.

Cholesterol itself has very few structural/chemical features suitable for real-time imaging in living cells. Thus, the advent of Dehydroergosterol [ergosta-5,7,9(11),22-tetraen-3beta-ol, DHE] the fluorescent sterol most structurally and functionally similar to cholesterol to date, has proven to be a major asset for real-time probing/elucidating the sterol environment and intracellular sterol trafficking in living organisms. DHE is a naturally occurring, fluorescent sterol analog that faithfully mimics many of the properties of cholesterol. Because these properties are very sensitive to sterol structure and degradation, such studies require the use of extremely pure (>98%) quantities of fluorescent sterol. DHE is readily bound by cholesterol-binding proteins, is incorporated into lipoproteins (from the diet of animals or by exchange in vitro), and for real-time imaging studies is easily incorporated into cultured cells where it co-distributes with endogenous sterol. Incorporation from an ethanolic stock solution to cell culture media is effective, but this process forms an aqueous dispersion of DHE crystals which can result in endocytic cellular uptake and distribution into lysosomes which is problematic in imaging DHE at the plasma membrane of living cells. In contrast, monomeric DHE can be incorporated from unilamellar vesicles by exchange/fusion with the plasma membrane or from DHE-methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (DHE-MbetaCD) complexes by exchange with the plasma membrane. Both of the latter techniques can deliver large quantities of monomeric DHE with significant distribution into the plasma membrane. The properties and behavior of DHE in protein-binding, lipoproteins, model membranes, biological membranes, lipid rafts/caveolae, and real-time imaging in living cells indicate that this naturally occurring fluorescent sterol is a useful mimic for probing the properties of cholesterol in these systems.

Structure of Dehydroergosterol monohydrate and interaction with sterol carrier protein-2

Lipids 2008 Dec;43(12):1165-84.PMID:19020914DOI:10.1007/s11745-008-3267-1.

Dehydroergosterol [ergosta-5,7,9(11),22-tetraen-3beta-ol] is a naturally-occurring, fluorescent sterol utilized extensively to probe membrane cholesterol distribution, cholesterol-protein interactions, and intracellular cholesterol transport both in vitro and in vivo. In aqueous solutions, the low solubility of Dehydroergosterol results in the formation of monohydrate crystals similar to cholesterol. Low temperature X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that Dehydroergosterol monohydrate crystallizes in the space group P2(1) with four molecules in the unit cell and monoclinic crystal parameters a = 9.975(1) A, b = 7.4731(9) A, c = 34.054(4) A, and beta = 92.970(2) degrees somewhat similar to ergosterol monohydrate. The molecular arrangement is in a slightly closer packed bilayer structure resembling cholesterol monohydrate. Since Dehydroergosterol fluorescence emission undergoes a quantum yield enhancement and red-shift of its maximum wavelength when crystallized, formation or disruption of microcrystals was monitored with high sensitivity using cuvette-based spectroscopy and multi-photon laser scanning imaging microscopy. This manuscript reports on the dynamical effect of sterol carrier protein-2 (SCP-2) interacting between aqueous dispersions of Dehydroergosterol monohydrate microcrystal donors and acceptors consisting not only of model membranes but also vesicles derived from plasma membranes isolated by biochemical fractionation and affinity purification from Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. Furthermore, this study provides real-time measurements of the effect of increased SCP-2 levels on the rate of disappearance of Dehydroergosterol microcrystals in living cells.

Hybrid of Dehydroergosterol and nitrogenous alternariol derivative from the fungus Pestalotiopsis uvicola

Steroids 2018 Oct;138:43-46.PMID:30003909DOI:10.1016/j.steroids.2018.06.008.

A new hybrid of Dehydroergosterol and nitrogenous alternariol derivative, pestauvicomorpholine A (1), and three alternariol analogues (2-4) including a new aminated one, pestauvicolactone A (2), were isolated from the fermentation product of the fungus Pestalotiopsis uvicola on rice media. Compounds 1 and 2 represent the first example of aza-alternariol and aza-alternariol-steroid derived from transamination followed by intermolecular hetero-Diels-Alder reaction.

A fluorescence study of Dehydroergosterol in phosphatidylcholine bilayer vesicles

Biochemistry 1987 May 5;26(9):2441-8.PMID:3607026DOI:10.1021/bi00383a007.

The fluorescent sterol delta 5,7,9(11),22-ergostatetraen-3 beta-ol (Dehydroergosterol) was incorporated into 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC) small unilamellar vesicles (SUV) with and without cholesterol in order to monitor sterol-sterol interactions in model membranes. In the range 0-5 mol % fluorescent sterol, Dehydroergosterol underwent a concentration-dependent relaxation characterized by red-shifted wavelengths of maximum absorption as well as altered ratios of absorbance maxima and fluorescence excitation maxima at 338 nm/324 nm. Fluorescence intensity per mole of Dehydroergosterol increased up to 5 mol % in POPC vesicles. In contrast, quantum yield, steady-state anisotropy, limiting anisotropy, lifetime, and rotational rate remained relatively constant in this concentration range. Similarly, addition of increasing cholesterol in the range 0-5 mol % in the presence of 3 mol % Dehydroergosterol also increased the fluorescence intensity per mole of Dehydroergosterol, red-shifted wavelengths of maximum absorption, and altered ratios of absorbance maxima. In POPC vesicles containing between 5 and 33 mol % Dehydroergosterol, the fluorescent Dehydroergosterol interacted to self-quench, thereby decreasing the fluorescence intensity, quantum yield, steady-state anisotropy, and limiting anisotropy and increasing the rotational rate (decreased rotational relaxation time) of the fluorescent sterol. The fluorescence lifetime of Dehydroergosterol remained unchanged. The results were in accord with the interpretation that below 5 mol% sterol, the sterols behaved as monomers exposed to some degree to the aqueous solvent in POPC bilayers.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
