W4P variant LHB facilitates cell proliferation and cell cycle progression. (A and B) Comparison of growth of WT- and W4P-LHB-expressing NIH3T3 cells (A) and Huh7 cells (B). Cell proliferation was analyzed by cell counting. (C) Influences on cell cycle regulation by expression of LHBs. The percentage of cells in the G0/G1, S and G2/M phases was assessed by flow cytometry after propidium iodide staining. (D) Effect of LHBs on cell-cycle-related proteins. Expression of cell-cycle-related proteins in LHB-expressing cells was analyzed by immunoblotting. R elative amounts of the proteins were analyzed by densitometry using actin as an internal control for normalization (right). The standard deviations are determined from three independent experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 versus NIH3T3 cell line, one-way t test.
