Table 1.

Intracellular lipid content in BMSC-SMC and VSMC. Cells were treated with the 80mg/L ox-LDL for 72 hours. Cellular lipid was extracted, and free cholesterol(FC), total cholesterol(TC) were analyzed by HPLC. CE and ratio of CE/TC were calculated.

Cells group FC(µg/mg protein) CE(µg/mg protein) TC(µg/mg protein) CE/TC(%)
Control 45.9±3.2 5.3±2.6 40.1±3.5 13.2
VSMC+ox-LDL 86.5±4.1* 116.6±4.5* 196.7±9.5* 59.3
BMSC-SMC+ox-LDL 92.1±9.4 167.6±8.9 301.3±8.5 55.6
