DNA synthesis and mRNA levels in HUVECs. HUVECs were treated with 50 μM DL-Hcy and 1 mM AZC in control medium for 48 hours, or 300 nM TSA and 5 mM NaBr for 24 hours. (A) Thymidine uptake. Cells were metabolically labeled with 1 μCi (0.037 MBq)/mL [3H]-thymidine during the last 3 hours. Values represent mean (± SD) from 3 separate experiments with triplicates (n = 9). *P < .01 versus non-Hcy and nonviral control. #P < .01 versus Hcy-treated and non–viral-transduced group. (B) Northern blot analysis. Total cellular RNA was used for Northern analysis (10 μg). The blot was hybridized with the probes of human cyclins A and D1, and subsequently with 18S RNA.
