Upon T1317 treatment, the CCF-STTG1 human astrocytoma cell line released cholesterol to exogenously added HEK-apoE3 conditioned media but not to HEK-control vector conditioned media suggesting that apoE is a putative acceptor for ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux stimulated by LXR agonists. This evidence concerns the gene APOE and astrocytoma (excluding glioblastoma).
