“…Caveolae are small membrane invaginations, rich in cholesterol, involved in signal transduction by ensuring the compartmentalization of several signaling proteins (Doyle et al, 1997;Oh and Schnitzer, 2001;Liu et al, 2002). Cyclodextrin, a water-soluble cyclic oligosaccharide formed of seven glucopyranose units able to accept one molecule of cholesterol in its hydrophobic core, is a membrane-impermeable molecule that depletes cellular cholesterol content through solubilization of the plasmalemmal cholesterol (Kilsdonk et al, 1995). This cholesterol-binding agent has been efficiently used as a pharmacological tool to study the role of caveolae in vascular reactivity (Dreja et al, 2002;Kaiser et al, 2002;Je et al, 2004).…”

“…The cholesterol content of CHO cell membranes was modulated by preincubation of cells with cyclodextrin (5.0 mM, 2 h) [22]. Cells were then analyzed for transfer of rePON1 by Western blotting, as described above.…”

“…Methyl-β-cyclodextrin is a well established tool that selectively and quickly extracts cholesterol from plasma membranes in preference to other lipids [19]. These treatments reduce intracellular cholesterol without affecting cell viability within the time window selected for the experiments.…”
