25-Hydroxycholesterol and Macrophage Reprogramming
2026-09-17
The 2024 Immunity study identifies CH25H-derived 25-hydroxycholesterol as an immunometabolic checkpoint that links lysosomal sterol sensing to AMPKα, STAT6, and ARG1 expression in tumor-associated macrophages. Its findings suggest that targeting this circuit can increase T-cell activity and improve anti-PD-1 responses, while also defining experimental controls for studying macrophage metabolic reprogramming.
