Figure 1.
Deficiency of p85α in BMMs results in reduced proliferation. Nonadherent bone marrow cells (1 × 106) from WT and p85α–/– mice were cultured in a 24-well tissue-culture plate in the presence of M-CSF (100 ng/mL) for 3 days. Cells were starved overnight using IMDM and stimulated with either M-CSF (100 ng/mL) or GM-CSF (50 ng/mL) for 24 hours. Proliferation was measured by thymidine incorporation assay. Bars represent the mean thymidine incorporation in BMMs in response to either M-CSF or GM-CSF stimulation (counts per minute [cpm] ± SD) of 2 experiments performed in duplicate. Similar results were observed in 3 independent experiments. *P<.05 for WT versus p85α–/–.
