Dynamics of membrane lipid domains in neuronal cells differentiated in culture1

Treatment with methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MCD) induced a time- and dose-dependent efflux of cholesterol, sphingolipids, and phosphatidylcholine (PC) from cerebellar neurons differentiated in culture. With a “mild” treatment, the loss of cell lipids induced a deep reorganization of the remaining membrane...
