Single cell spreading on fibronectin-coated glass substrates. Spread BAECs incubated for 1 h with control solution (1:1 MβCD:MβCD–cholesterol mixture), MβCD solution (depleted) or MβCD saturated with cholesterol solution (enriched), and are observed using IRM. Cells depleted of cholesterol are significantly less spread compared to control cells, while no differences are observed between control and cholesterol-enriched cells. Asterisk denotes significant difference using Student’s t test with p<0.05. Error bars represent standard error (N = 36–44 cells per condition).
