Effects of different recombinant cytokines and PGE2 on fibroblasts in vitro. Fibroblasts were treated with eight different recombinant human cytokines (all at 10 ng/ml) or with PGE2 (1–1,000 nM) for 24 h. HGF secretion was measured in cell supernatants, and data were expressed as a percentage of fibroblasts treated with the control medium (A,B). Col1A1 (C,D), MMP-1 (E,F), and TIMP-1 (G,H) RNA expression was determined by TaqMan RT-PCR, and values were expressed as fold change of fibroblasts treated with the control medium. *p < 0.05.
