6. J774 and bone marrow-derived macrophages were depleted of cholesterol as described [M. Simons et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 95, 6460 (1998)], with the following modifications: J774 cells were first cultured (at 37°C) for 60 hours in lovastatin (4 μM, Calbiochem) and mevalonate (250 μM. Sigma), followed by a 45-min treatment at 37°C by methyl-β-cyclodextrin (10 mM, Sigma) in serum-free Dulbecco's modified essential medium (DMEM) in the continuous presence of lovastatin and mevalonate. Bone marrow-derived macrophages were depleted for 180 hours in lovastatin and mevalonate, and residual cholesterol was extracted for 75 min with 20 mM methyl-β-cyctodextrin.
