Short answer: no.

Cholesterol molecules primarly serve to stabilize a cell's membrane from becoming too easy or too difficult to penetrate (after all, certain levels of many molecules must be allowed to enter). Furthermore, a nucleotide has a permanent -1 charge and would have a very difficult time entering without a special pathway anyway.
