Metastatic PC3 cells upregulate Etn release on phorbol ester treatment. Cells were cultured and labelled with [1-3H]-Etn (Methods). After rinsing, cells were incubated for 3 h with serum-free basal (Inline graphic) medium (+DMSO) or basal medium containing 1 μM TPA (▪) Media were recovered and GPEtn, PEtn and Etn resolved by ion-exchange chromatography (Methods). Total d.p.m. associated with each fraction were calculated and results for each metabolite expressed as % of total GPEtn+PEtn+Etn d.p.m. Results shown are mean values +/−s.d. (n=3) from a typical experiment. For PC3 cells, GPE, basal against TPA **P= 0.005; PE, basal against TPA, *P=0.04; Etn, basal against TPA ***P=0.0003.
