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).
