Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4. Anti-TNF-· neutralizing antibody blocks adipocyte-CM-induced CCL20 production in MDA-MB-231 cells. (A) MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with preadipocyte-CM, adipocyte-CM, or proteinase K-treated adipocyte-CM, for 6 h. The levels of TNF-· and IL-1ß gene expression were examined by RT- PCR. (B) MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with adipocyte-CM, and total RNA was isolated at the indicated times. The levels of TNF-· gene expression were examined by RT-PCR. (C) MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with adipocyte-CM preincubated with various concentrations of anti-TNF-· neutralizing antibody for 1 h. The level of CCL20 expression was examined by RT-PCR 6 h after incubation with adipocyte-CM containing anti-TNF-· neutralizing antibody. (D) Preadipocytes were treated with TNF-· siRNA and GFP siRNA as a control for 24 h and then differentiated into adipocytes. MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with TNF-·-deficient preadipocyte-CM and TNF-·-deficient adipocyte-CM for 6 h. The level of CCL20 expression was examined by RT-PCR. (E) MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with TNF-· receptor siRNA or GFP siRNA as a control for 24 h and then preadipocyte-CM or adipocyte- CM was treated for 6 h. The level of CCL20, TNF-·, and TNF-· receptor 1 expression was examined by RT-PCR. (F) MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with TNF-· receptor siRNA or GFP siRNA as a control for 24 h and then preadipocyte-CM or adipocyte-CM was treated for 30 min. Lysates were used to determine the level of phospho-IKK·/ß and phospho-IκB· using Western blot analysis.
