Inhibition of APN activity on CEM and U937 cells.
(A) Assay of APN activity of CEM or U937 cells incubated for 6 hours with different concentrations of arphamenine B (CEM(arpha), U937(arpha)) or actinonin (CEM(act), U937(act)); mean percentages ± SD (n = 2) of the APN activity of treated cells relative to control cells without inhibitor. (B) CEM or U937 cells were cultured overnight in the presence of [3H]dThd, with or without arphamenine B or actinonin at the indicated concentrations; each bar corresponds to the mean (+ SD) of 3 to 8 independent determinations; the significance of differences between percentages of incorporated cpm and 100% control values was assessed by the 1 sample t test: ***P < .001.
