Optogeneticaly induced upregulation of the Cox-2 regulate the downstream PGE2 effector molecule in PACs expressing mammalian (HEK-293T) cells. The PGE2 concentration was determined in the supernatant of HEK-293T cells transfected with empty vector (pA3M) or PACs (NgPAC1, NgPAC2, NgPAC3 and bPAC) in dark and after treated with blue light (460 nm). Data from dark-adapted cells are displayed as solid bar; data from illuminated cells are shown as filled bar. ***p < 0.0005, **p < 0.005, measured by student’s t test between dark and light conditions. Error bars represents the mean of S.E.M, n = 4 experiments in duplicate.
