ABSTRACT
In this study, we present in vitro actions of pure commercial preparations of oxidized and/or dehydrated metabolites of cholesterol (OS) identified in the lipid fraction of Fraction B (FB) prepared from a catfish skin preparation on calcium transients and on the formation of human neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). These investigations are part of an ongoing effort to understand the important roles these compounds play as components of FB when FB is applied to accelerate the healing of wounds and the healing of highly infected non-healing diabetic foot ulcers, without the use of antibiotics. Our aim was to determine potential therapeutic interventions for various disease states. Our results reveal interesting findings, demonstrating specific actions of the individual compounds. Compounds 7α-hydroxy-cholesterol (S3), Cholestane-3,5,6-triol (S5), 5-cholesten-3ß-ol-7-one (S8) and Cholesta-3,5 dien-7-one (S10) are inhibitory, while Cholesterol 5ß,6ß-epoxide (S4) and 5α-cholestane-3,6-dione (S11) activate the response for calcium influx in human neutrophils. A somewhat similar response is observed in dHL60 cell lines, where S3, S5, S7, S8, and cholesta-2,4-diene (S14) inhibit the calcium influx, although S4, S10, and S11 activate the response in this cell line. Furthermore, we observed a relationship between actions against NETosis and calcium transients. Interestingly, relative to the vehicle control, S3, Cholesta-3,5 diene (S9), and S14 appeared to significantly stimulate DNA release (NETosis), while S2, 7α-hydroxy-cholesterol (S6) and cholesta-3,5 dien-7-one (S10) caused lesser stimulation. We provide the IC50 activities for each compound tested in each assay. Calcium influx and NETs formation (NETosis) correlate with diseases exacerbation. These findings offer valuable insights into the potential therapeutic applications of individual OS for various diseases, highlighting their importance in future interventions.
