| Cancer Type | ET-1 mRNA expression level | ETAR mRNA expression level | ET-1 level in tissue or cell culture medium (pg/ml) |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCC | 257.8 ± 72.1* | 13.00 ± 3.01* | 63.5 ± 21.9* |
| Melanoma | 0.1 ± 0.1 | 0.06 ± 0.02 | 6.6 ± 2.9 |
| Cell Line | |||
| HSC-3 (SCC) | 1110.5† | 16.3† | 34.02 |
| WM164 (melanoma) | 1.22 | 0.29 | Not detectable |
significantly more in SCC relative to melanoma
