a

In experiment 1, cells were treated with IL-6 and 4-OHT at the same time to see if induction of c-Myb- and/or c-Myc activity would prevent movement of cells into G1. In experiment 2, cells were first pretreated with IL-6 to allow the cells to enter G1; after 72 h, 4-OHT was added to determine if activation of MybER or MycER could reverse the percentage of cells in G1

b

% inhibition (reversal) = (IL-6− [IL-6 + 4-OHT])/(IL-6 − 4-OHT) × 100, where IL-6 − 4-OHT defines the percentage of cells that can maximally move into G1 after induction of growth arrest by IL-6 and IL-6 − [IL-6 − 4-OHT] defines the percentage of cells in IL-6 growth-arrested cell cultures, after activation of the fusion protein with 4-OHT, that have been inhibited from entering or reversed from G1

c

Average of three independent experiments.
