Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Through a series of biological and analytical procedures, we demonstrate that a compound purchased from a commercial supplier as [7-3H]cholesterol was not cholesterol. In mouse peritoneal macrophages, this compound was metabolized differently than other radiolabeled cholesterol preparations and was accumulated in the steryl ester pool. In contrast, Fu5AH rat hepatoma cells did not discriminate this compound from cholesterol. Further analysis of the anomalous [7-3H]cholesterol by TLC after cholesterol oxidase treatment and by HPLC indicated that this radiochemical was less polar than cholesterol standard and other radiolabeled cholesterol preparations tested. Mass spectrometry analysis disclosed that the chemical has a similar fragmentation pattern and the same molecular weight (386) as cholesterol.
