MCP-1 expression is upregulated by endogenous and exogenous PGE2. (A) Exogenous TNF-α enhances PGE2 secretion in melanoma cell lines. (B and C) Exogenous TNF-α stimulates MCP-1 mRNA expression and protein secretion in melanoma cell lines. (D and E) TNF-α treatment is not able to stimulate MCP-1 mRNA expression and protein production in melanoma cells pre-treated with COX-2 siRNA. (F and G) Exogenous PGE2 promoted MCP-1 mRNA expression and protein secretion in melanoma cells. *P<0.01 vs. normal. MCP-1, macrophage chemoattractant protein-1; PGE2, prostaglandin E2.
