Dysregulation of cholesterol levels in the brain may induce neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer\u2019s disease, Parkinson disease, and Huntington disease. We previously reported that augmenting membrane cholesterol level regulates ion channels by decreasing the level of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), which is closely related to \u03b2-amyloid (A\u03b2) production. In addition, cholesterol enrichment decreased PIP2 levels by increasing the expression of the \u03b21 isoform of phospholipase C (PLC) in cultured cells. In this study, we examined the effect of a high-cholesterol diet on phospholipase C (PLC\u03b21) expression and PIP2 levels in rat brain. PIP2 levels were decreased in the cerebral cortex in rats on a high-cholesterol diet. Levels of PLC\u03b21 expression correlated with PIP2 levels. However, cholesterol and PIP2 levels were not correlated, suggesting that PIP2 level is regulated by cholesterol via PLC\u03b21 expression in the brain. Thus, there exists cross talk between cholesterol and PIP2 that could contribute to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms21031161","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,11]],"date-time":"2020-02-11T09:25:21Z","timestamp":1581413121000},"page":"1161","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["High-Cholesterol Diet Decreases the Level of Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-Bisphosphate by Enhancing the Expression of Phospholipase C (PLC\u03b21) in Rat Brain"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Yoon Sun","family":"Chun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Suwon, Gyeonggi-do 16419, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0505-8773","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sungkwon","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Suwon, Gyeonggi-do 16419, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"303","DOI":"10.2174\/1567205014666170505101426","article-title":"Lipid Biomarkers in Alzheimer\u2019s Disease","volume":"15","author":"Zarroukeg","year":"2018","journal-title":"Curr.
