25-hidroxycholesterol effects on c-myc expression in the cell culture model. c-myc mRNA quantification in SMC cultures (SMC-C, SMC-Ch, SMC-Ch-FO) and SMC cultures treated with 20 μg/ml 25-hydroxycholesterol for 24 h. mRNA levels were quantified by real-time semiquantitative reverse-transcription PCR. Results are shown as relative expression ratio of c-myc in SMC cultures with respect to control culture and expressed in comparison to reference gene β-actin. *P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001 vs. SMC-C, +P < 0.05, ++P < 0.01, +++ P < 0.001 vs. SMC-C treated with 20 μg/mL 25-hydroxycholesterol.
