1 Treatment with 25-hydroxycholesterol, an inhibitor of HMG CoA reductase activity, efficiently blocked the proliferation of both human normal mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) and breast cancer cells (MDA231). 25-hydroxycholesterol 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase Homo sapiens
2 Following a 25-hydroxycholesterol treatment as short as 4 h, the onset of DNA synthesis was delayed, indicating that a certain level of HMG CoA reductase activity (= mevalonate synthesis) in the early and mid stage of the prereplicative phase is required for the transduction of the signal leading to initiation of DNA synthesis. 25-hydroxycholesterol 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase Homo sapiens
