Objective To summarize progress of 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-OHC), 27-hydroxycholesterol(27-OHC), and 7α,25-hydroxycholesterol (7α,25-OHC) three oxidized cholesterols in inflammation and immunology and to provide evidence for related basic researches and diseases treatments.Method The relevant literatures about these three important oxidized cholesterols in the inflammation and immunology in recent years were reviewed.Results The 25-OHC and 27-OHC could exert the antiviral effects by interfering with various viruses invading the host via various mechanisms. Moreover, the 25-OHC and 27-OHC also played the important regulatory roles in a variety of inflammatory processes and inflammatory diseases. The 7α,25-OHC played the important role in a variety of inflammatory processes by acting on the inflammatory and immune cell membrane receptor G-protein coupled receptor 183 (also known as Epstein-Barr virus-inducible receptor 2).Conclusion 25-OHC, 27-OHC and 7α,25-OHC play an important roles in occurrence and development of various inflammatory and immune responses and diseases of inflammatory and immune by acting on a variety of nuclear receptors and membrane receptors.
