Article Title: Concurrent targeting of EP1/EP4 receptors and COX-2 induces synergistic apoptosis in KSHV and EBV associated non-Hodgkin lymphoma cell lines
doi: 10.1016/j.trsl.2013.02.008
Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Total lysates from 5×105 BJAB, Akata/EBV−, BCBL-1, BC-3, Akata/EBV+, and JSC-1 cells were immunoblotted for EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4. Data represents three independent experiments. Tubulin was used as loading control. (b) In parallel experiments, supernatants from the indicated cells were collected to measure the amount of PGE2 secreted by each cell line. (c) The indicated cell lines were stained for EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4 receptors by immunofluorescence. (d) Mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4 receptors in HMVEC-d cells infected with KSHV measured by FACS. Indicated are the MFI for the respective receptor at each time point. The data is representative of three independent experiments.
