Data are presented as mean ± SD. a: Significant versus control group. b: Significant versus EP1 agonist group. n = 3 replicates. EP1: E prostanoid receptor 1, MEK: Mitogen activated protein kinase kinase, PKC: Protein kinase C, NF-ҡB: Nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells. G0/G1: Gap phase G0 and G1, S: Synthesis phase, G2/M: Gap phase 2 and mitosis phase.
