NB4 cells were cocultured with adipocyte-differentiated MSC monolayers with or without chimeric OB-R leptin antibody in conditions of reduced serum (1%), with 10 ng/mL doxorubicin or 1 mM ATRA for 72 hours in at least 3 experiments. Results represent the percentage of apoptosis as determined by annexin V labeling and viable cell numbers using the trypan blue exclusion method. Apoptosis and viability of NB4 cells cocultured with adipocytes were compared with cells cultured in medium alone. Statistically significant differences were determined by paired Student ttest; all others were P ≥ .05. Apoptosis and viability of NB4 cells cocultured with adipocytes were compared with cells cocultured with adipocytes in the presence of chimeric OB-R or leptin antibody.
