Down-regulation of CD47-induced PS exposure by K+ efflux or antimycin A treatment: lack of effect of PKC inhibitor rottlerin.
Freshly isolated B-CLL cells and the U937 cell line were cultured with or without immobilized CD47 mAbs. (A) Cultures were performed in RPMI medium containing normal [Na+] or inverted [Na+]/[K+] ratios [K+]. Shown are percent of viable cells (annexin-V−/PI−). (B-C) Cells were cultured in the presence or absence of immobilized CD47 mAbs with or without antimycin A (30 μM) or increasing concentrations of rottlerin. Shown is the percent of dead cells (annexin-V+ or DiOC cells); one representative experiment of 4 is shown.
