Effect of lovastatin on APPsα secretion in different cell lines

Cell line APPsα (% of control)
HEK 293 272  ± 46*
HEK ADAM 10 190  ± 20**
U373 151  ± 7**
H4 139  ± 4**
SH-SY5Y (APP751/770) 171  ± 4**
SH-SY5Y (APP695) 221  ± 9**

Cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% lipid-deficient serum and 1 μM lovastatin for 20 h. After 4 h, the medium was collected, and APPsα was determined as described. Control cells were cultured without lovastatin. 

Data are expressed as percentage of control and represent the mean ± SD for three independent determinations. *, P < 0.005; **, P < 0.001 (Student's t test).
