MRNA expression data from keratinocytes with disorganized lipid raft structures (by cholesterol depletion by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Lipid rafts are cholesterol-rich cell signaling platforms and their physiological role can be explored by cholesterol depletion. To dress a global picture of transcriptional changes ongoing after lipid raft disruption, we performed whole-genome expression profiling in epidermal keratinocytes, a cell type which synthesizes its cholesterol in situ. We used microarrays to identify transcriptional changes in gene expression of cholesterol-depleted keratinocytes. Cholesterol depletion by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin disrupts the organization of lipid rafts, which are cholesterol- and sphingolipid-rich membrane microdomains.
