Circulating human CD45+ cells and mouse BM-derived CD45+ cells cultured in the presence of IL-3 were transiently transfected with scramble sequence or STAT5A and STAT5B siRNA, alone or in combination. After 48 hours of treatment, the cells were fixed with 70% ethanol. DNA was stained with propidium iodide and analyzed with a flow cytometer (FACScan; BD Immunocytometry Systems, San Jose, CA). The percentage of cells in each phase of the cell cycle was determined by ModFit LT software (Verity Software House, Topsham, ME). Human CD45+ cells were also pretreated with SU6656. The numbers are the means plus or minus SD of 3 different experiments done on separate days, each performed in duplicate. (*P < .05, experimental groups vs scramble.)
