PF-4 inhibits both basal and FGF2-induced DNA biosynthesis in ACE cells.
(A) Serum-deprived ACE cells were cultured with (black bars) or without (white bars) FGF2 (10 ng/mL) in the presence of various concentrations of PF-4 (5 μg/mL and 10 μg/mL). (B) Serum-deprived ACE cells were cultured without FGF2 in the presence of anti-FGF2 and anti–FGF-R1 antibodies. DNA biosynthesis was determined by [3H]TdR incorporation into DNA during 20 hours of incubation, as described in “Materials and methods.” Data are expressed as a percentage of incorporation into control cells (A: 32 650 cpm/well = 100%), (B: 32 183 cpm/well = 100%). Data are expressed as the means ± SEM of 3 independent experiments, each performed in triplicate.
