The effect of oxysterol imbalance in synaptic dysfunction
Our study highlights the detrimental effects of 27-OHC on neuronal and astrocytic function, identifying key molecular targets involved in synaptic integrity and glutamate homeostasis. The observed dysregulation of SNAP25, PSD95, REST/PTBP1, and astrocytic RAGE, GLT-1, and GLAST underscores the role of oxysterol-induced neurotoxicity in neurodegenerative processes. Targeting these pathways may offer novel therapeutic strategies for conditions characterized by cholesterol dyshomeostasis and excitotoxicity.
