Figure 4. Mevalonic Acid Reverses Statin-Induced, but Not FTI-1-Induced, sAPPα Shedding.
SweAPP N2a cells were treated for 24 h with simvastatin (Sim, 1 μM), FTI-1 (5 μM), mevalonic acid (0–100 μM), or combinations as indicated. Levels of sAPPα were evaluated by western blot as described in Methods. This figure is representative of the results of two independent experiments. C, control.
