25-Hydroxycholesterol Reprograms Tumor Macrophages
2026-08-13
Xiao et al. identify CH25H-derived 25-hydroxycholesterol as an immunometabolic checkpoint that links lysosomal cholesterol sensing to AMPKα–STAT6 signaling and ARG1 production in tumor-associated macrophages. The study further shows that disrupting CH25H can improve T cell activity and strengthen anti-PD-1 responses, providing a mechanistic framework for converting immunologically cold tumors into more inflamed environments.
