2. DNA synthesis in bovine SMCs
DNA synthesis in bovine SMCs. A, Both PDGF-BB and IGF-I stimulate increase in a dose-dependent DNA synthesis in bovine SMCs. Subconfluent cells were incubated in serum-free DMEM supplemented with 0.1% BSA, 2.5 μg/mL holotransferrin, and 35 μg/mL ascorbic acid for 72 hours before addition of growth factors.

Subconfluent cells were incubated in serum-free DMEM supplemented with 0.1% BSA, 2.5 μg/mL holotransferrin, and 35 μg/mL ascorbic acid for 72 hours before addition of growth factors. Thereafter, cells were incubated for 20 hours in the presence of indicated concentrations of PDGF-BB or IGF-I followed by labeling with 2 μCi/mL [3H]thymidine for 2 hours. DNA synthesis was measured as TCA-insoluble radioactivity. •, PDGF-stimulated and ○, IGF-I–stimulated DNA synthesis. Values are presented as mean±SD of quadruplicate samples. *P<.05 vs 0 ng/mL, multiple comparison (Scheffé's type). B, The kinetics of DNA synthesis induced by PDGF-BB and IGF-I are comparable in bovine SMCs. Quiescent bovine SMCs were treated with 10 ng/mL PDGF-BB or 100 ng/mL IGF-I for the indicated time. DNA synthesis was determined as described above. •, PDGF-stimulated and ○, IGF-I–stimulated DNA synthesis. Values are presented as mean±SD of quadruplicate samples. C and D, TNP-470 dose dependently inhibits basal as well as PDGF- and IGF-I–stimulated DNA synthesis. Quiescent bovine SMCs were treated for 21 hours with vehicle, 10 ng/mL PDGF-BB, or 100 ng/mL IGF-I in the presence or absence of indicated concentrations of TNP-470. DNA synthesis was determined as described above. Values represented on graphs are mean±SD. *P<.05 vs TNP-470 (−), multiple comparison (Scheffé's type). E, TNP-470 inhibits cell number increase induced by PDGF-BB and IGF-I. Quiescent SMCs were treated with vehicle, 10 ng/mL PDGF-BB, or 100 ng/mL IGF-I alone or in combination with 10 ng/mL TNP-470. Cell numbers were counted after 72 hours. Values are mean±SD of triplicate samples. *P<.05 vs control; **P<.05 vs TNP-470 (−). F, TNP-470 inhibition of FCS-stimulated DNA synthesis is less marked than that observed with PDGF or IGF-I. Quiescent bovine SMCs were treated for 21 hours with 10% FCS alone or in combination with the indicated concentrations of TNP-470. DNA synthesis was determined as described above. Values are mean±SD of quadruplicate samples. *P<.05 vs TNP-470 (−), multiple comparison (Scheffé's type). Each experiment was repeated at least twice, with identical results.

3. Protein tyrosine phosphorylation in bovine SMCs
Protein tyrosine phosphorylation in bovine SMCs. Subconfluent bovine SMCs were incubated in serum-free DMEM containing 0.1% BSA, 2.5 μg/mL holotransferrin, and 35 μg/mL ascorbic acid for 3 days to make the cells quiescent.

After the cells were pretreated with or without 10 ng/mL TNP-470 for 1 hour, they were stimulated for 10 minutes with vehicle, 10 ng/mL PDGF-BB, or 100 ng/mL IGF-I in the presence (+) or absence (−) of 10 ng/mL TNP-470 at 37°C. Cell lysates were fractionated in 8.0% SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose membranes, and immunoblotted with antiphosphotyrosine antibody.

6. Immediate early gene expression in bovine SMCs
Immediate early gene expression in bovine SMCs. After quiescent SMCs were pretreated for 1 hour with (+) or without (−) TNP-470, the cells were stimulated for 60 minutes with vehicle, 10 ng/mL PDGF, or 100 ng/mL IGF-I, and the cells were harvested for RNA isolation.

Total RNA (20 μg per lane) was separated on 1.0% agarose gel, blotted onto a nylon membrane, and hybridized with c-fos and c-myc cDNAs. The right panel shows the summary of the results of densitometric analysis for c-fos and c-myc mRNA levels corrected for rRNA, obtained from three individual experiments.
