Effect of CRH on adult dermal fibroblasts. A: In serum free conditions CRH significantly increased DNA synthesis (EC50 = 0.5 × 10-9 M) compared to untreated cells. B: Subsequent DNA content analysis yielded increase in transition of cells from G1/0 to S phase cell cycle compartment (see table below). Control: continuous line, CRH (100 nM): dashed line. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.005.
Treatment | G1/0 [%] | S [%] | G2/M [%] |
---|---|---|---|
Control | 96±0.3 | 2±0.5 | 2±0.3 |
CRH (100 nM) | 90±1 ** | 8±0.5 ** | 2±1 |
