Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) activates catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) transcription in human myometrial cells. Values in treated groups are expressed relative to vehicle control. An asterisk indicates a statistically significant difference (P<.05) in mRNA levels. Bars represent average COMT (with standard error of the mean) mRNA levels from three independent reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assays in which samples were tested in duplicate.
