Effect of the MEK inhibitor on DNA synthesis capacity of CD34+ cells grown with rhuMGDF. Cells from cultures performed in the absence (▪) or presence (▨) of 6 μmol/L PD98059 were harvested at the indicated days and DNA synthesis was assessed by measuring [3H]thymidine incorporation. Results are mean ± SD of triplicate determinations from a representative experiment of 3 performed. The relative increase in [3H]thymidine incorporation in PD98059-treated cells as compared with control DMSO-treated cells is indicated below the bars for each time point.
