Intracellular Cu Content of Cultured Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells Is Modulated by Cu Chelator and Cu Salt
40 μM TEPA | 10 μM CuCl2 | Control | |
---|---|---|---|
Cu (ng)/107 cells (experiment 1) | 2.4 | 686.3 | 7.6 |
Cu (ng)/107 cells (experiment 2) | 2.8 | 3088.5 | 12.7 |
LSKRhohi HPCs were cultured with cytokines ± TEPA or CuCl2 for 7 days. The copper content of the cultured cells was determined by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES).
