The Influence of the Cholesterol Level in Cells on Endovanilloid Cytotoxicity

Dokl Biochem Biophys. 2020 Jul;493(1):167-170. doi: 10.1134/S1607672920040018. Epub 2020 Sep 7.

Abstract

The influence of the cellular cholesterol content on the cytotoxicity of endovanilloids acyldopamines was studied in MDA-MB-231 and MCF 10A cells. The activity of acyldopamines depends on the cellular cholesterol content, and a decrease in cholesterol content increases the cytotoxicity of acyldopamines.

Keywords: acyldopamine cytotoxicity; arachidonoyl dopamine; cholesterol; endocannabinoids; endovanilloids.
