BMP-4 inhibits DNA synthesis in IL-6–dependent myeloma cell lines.
Cell lines were stimulated with 0.1 ng/mL IL-6 (IH-1 and OH-2) or 1 ng/mL IL-6 (ANBL-6), with or without BMP-4, in concentrations as indicated for 72 hours. DNA synthesis was measured by [3H]-thymidine incorporation. Counts were normalized; 100% represents the count obtained with IL-6 alone (absolute counts were 1500 counts per minute (cpm) for IH-1, 2400 cpm for ANBL-6, and 900 cpm for OH-2).
