Linneg cells, treated with either 1 μM dmPGE2 or vehicle for 2 hours and cultured in the presence of growth factors (50 ng/mL rmSCF, 100 ng/mL each of rhFlt-3 and rhTPO) for 20 hours, were stained with SLAM SKL, Hoechst-33342, and Pyronin-Y and the proportion of SLAM SKL cells in G0, G1, S, and G2/M phase of the cell cycle was determined by quantitation of DNA and RNA content by FACS. Data are mean plus or minus SEM for n = 9 mice, each assayed individually.

Percentage of cells in G1+S+G2M; combined data for n = 9 mice.

P < .05 compared with vehicle control.
