Abstract
Incubation of CHO-K1 cells in lipid-deficient medium containing 14 alpha-ethyl-5 alpha-cholest-7-ene-3 beta,15 alpha-diol (0.1 microM) for 4 days was associated with a profound change in cellular sterol composition as reflected by a marked accumulation of lanosterol and 24,25-dihydrolanosterol. A striking elongation of the cells was also observed. Incubation of CHO-K1 cells in lipid-deficient medium containing lanosterol (10 microM) also caused a significant accumulation of lanosterol which was also associated with a marked elongation of the cells.
