25-Hydroxycholesterol Reprograms Tumor Macrophages
2026-09-15
The 2024 Immunity study identifies CH25H-derived 25-hydroxycholesterol as an immunometabolic checkpoint that links lysosomal sterol handling to AMPKα–STAT6 signaling and ARG1 production in tumor-associated macrophages. Its findings provide a mechanistic explanation for macrophage-mediated immune suppression and show why CH25H targeting can improve T-cell surveillance and anti-PD-1 responses.
