Membrane cholesterol content of lung cancer cell lines per surface area before and after cholesterol depletion treatments. Membrane cholesterol per surface area significantly reduced for all the lung cancer cell lines upon MβCD and Simva treatments. Values are means ± SE for n = 3 independent experiments. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s HSD post hoc comparison. *Statistical significance compared with nontreated cells (P < 0.05). HSD, honest significant difference; MβCD, methyl-beta-cyclodextrin.
