The effect of PLO on stromal cells. (A) BESC isolated from 3 animals, and (B) HESC from 3 independent passages were challenged for 2 h with control medium (■), or media containing the indicated concentrations of PLO (Inline graphic), and cell viability evaluated by MTT assay. Data are presented as mean (SEM), and analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparison post-hoc test; values differ from control, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. (C) BESC isolated from 5 animals, and (D) HESC from 3 independent passages were grown in control serum-free medium or medium containing methyl-β-cyclodextrin for 24 h to deplete cholesterol, and then challenged for 2 h with control medium (■), or media containing PLO (Inline graphic) using 100 HU/ml for BESC and 200 HU/ml for HESC, and leakage of LDH was measured in cell supernatants. Data are presented as mean (SEM), and analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparison post-hoc test; values differ from control, **P < 0.01. (E) BESC isolated from 3 animals, and (F) HESC from 3 independent passages, were challenged for 24 h with control serum-free medium (■), or media containing PLO (Inline graphic) or DS-PLO (DS, Inline graphic), and cell viability evaluated by MTT assay. Data are presented as mean (SEM) percent viability of control, and analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparison post-hoc test; values differ from control, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
