Data were calculated from the E/[A] curves shown in Figure 8 and represent the mean ± SEM of six independent determinations with the exception of GW 870086X on p57kip2 and PDK4 where n = 4 and 5 respectively.

*

P < 0.05, significant enhancement by indacaterol of FF- and/or GW-induced gene expression – Student's two-tailed, unpaired t-test.

**

P < 0.05, significant induction of gene expression by indacaterol alone relative to untreated cells – Student's two-tailed, unpaired t-test.

a

A fixed concentration of indacaterol (100 nM) was added concurrently with the glucocorticoid and gene expression measured at 6 h.

ND, not determined.
