1 Pretreatment of smooth muscle cells with dexamethasone (100 nM, 60 min) inhibited thrombin-induced increases in [3H]-thymidine incorporation (DNA synthesis) and cell number. Thymidine coagulation factor II, thrombin Homo sapiens
2 Inhibition of thrombin-induced [3H]-thymidine incorporation was also observed with hydrocortisone (0.01-1 microM) and methylprednisolone (0.001-0.1 microM) pretreatment. Thymidine coagulation factor II, thrombin Homo sapiens
3 The potency of hydrocortisone as an inhibitor of [3H]-thymidine incorporation was reduced when FCS (10% v/v, which caused a 40 fold increase in [3H]-thymidine incorporation) was used as the mitogen in place of thrombin (0.3 u ml-1, which caused a 10 fold increase in [3H]-thymidine incorporation). Thymidine coagulation factor II, thrombin Homo sapiens
