25-hydroxycholesterol contributes to cerebral inflammation of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy through activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome

The mechanism underlying neuroinflammation in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is poorly understood. Here authors identify aberrant production of 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC) in ALD patient-derived cells, and show that 25-HC mediates neuroinflammation via activating the NLRP3 inflammasome.
