Plasma membrane tension and stiffness of DRG neurons in the control group and after the disruption of acting filaments with CD or sequestration of membrane cholesterol with MβCD. (A) Plasma membrane tension of DRG neurons under the control condition and after the treatment of cells with 10 μM CD for 30 min. (B) Membrane bending stiffness of DRG neurons under the control condition (solid bar) and after the treatment of cells with 10 μM CD for 30 min (open bar). (C) Plasma membrane tension of DRG neurons under the control condition (solid bar) and after the treatment with 10 mM MβCD for 30 min (open bar). (D) Membrane bending stiffness of DRG neurons under the control condition (solid bar) and after the treatment with 10 mM MβCD (open bar). Data represent mean ± SE, ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ns, not significantly different.
