Protocol to track the biosynthesis of cholesterol in cultured HCC cells using 13C compound-specific stable isotopic tracers

Summary: Cholesterol biosynthesis supports proliferation and drives resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we present a protocol for using stable isotopic tracers to track the biosynthesis of cholesterol in cultured HCC cells. We describe steps...
