Effect of IFN-γ on sphingomyelin (A) and ceramide (B) levels in HL-60 cells. [3H]Choline-labeled or unlabeled cells were treated at time 0 with 2,000 U/mL of IFN-γ. At the indicated times, cells were harvested, lipids were extracted, and SM levels were determined by TLC, while ceramide levels were determined using a DAG kinase assay as described in Materials and Methods. The data (means ± standard deviation [SD]) are from three independent experiments assayed in duplicate. * Significantly different (P < .05, Student's t-test) from controls.
