Role of mevalonate in regulation of cholesterol synthesis and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase in cultured cells and their cytoplasts.

H4-II-E-C3 hepatoma cells in culture respond to lipid-depleted media and to mevinolin with increased sterol synthesis from [14C]acetate and rise of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase levels. Mevalonate at 4 mM concentration represses sterol synthesis and the reductase, and completely ab...
