2. Figure 1
The potential of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC) to induce [3H] thymidine incorporation. LysoPC treatment up-regulated the [3H] thymidine incorporation level in (A) a dose- and (B) time-dependent fashion in human glomerular mesangial cell line (HMCL). PC treatment did not increase [3H] thymidine incorporation (A, B). The control values were at 0 μ M of PC or lysoPC. Data express mean ± SE.

3. Figure 2
The potential of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC) to induce platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) gene expression. PC treatment did not induce the mRNA expression of either PDGF A or B chains in human glomerular mesangial cell line (HMCL). LysoPC did not induce PDGF A chain mRNA expression but did induce B chain mRNA expression. The control values were at 0 μ M of PC or lysoPC. These data are representative of three replicate experiments.
