Fig. 1 TGF-β1 induces COX-2 mRNA expression. LX-1 cells were incubated in the presence of 2.5 ng/ml of TGF-β1 for 3–24 h. Total RNA was then extracted and 1 μg subjected to reverse transcription and real time quantitative PCR. The results are expressed as relative fold induction compared to untreated cells (control). Data are shown as mean±SE of three independent experiments. *P<0.05 compared with control. Journal of Hepatology , DOI: ( /j.jhep )

Fig. 2 TGF-β1 induces COX-2 protein expression. LX-1 cells were incubated in the presence of 2.5 ng/ml of TGF-β1 or vehicle for 3, 6, or 12 h. Total protein was then extracted and 30 μg subjected to immunoblotting for COX-2 and β-actin. Journal of Hepatology , DOI: ( /j.jhep )

Fig. 3 COX-2 contributes to both basal and TGF-β1-mediated production of PGE2. LX-1 cells were incubated in the presence of vehicle alone, different concentrations of TGF-β1 (1–10 ng/ml), 5 μM NS398 or the combination of TGF-β1 and NS398 for 18 h. PGE2 release was assayed by enzyme immunoassay. Data shown as mean±SE of three independent experiments. *P<0.05; **P<0.01 compared with control. Journal of Hepatology , DOI: ( /j.jhep )

Fig. 7 PGE2 causes dose-dependent suppression of TGF-β1-induced collagen α1(I) expression. LX-1 cells were incubated in the presence of vehicle alone, TGF-β1 (2.5 ng/ml) alone or TGF-β1 plus increasing concentrations of PGE2 for 18 h. Total RNA was then extracted and 1 μg subjected to reverse transcription and real time quantitative PCR. The results are expressed as relative fold induction compared to untreated cells (control). Data shown as mean±SE of three independent experiments. *P<0.01 compared with TGF-β1-treated cells. Journal of Hepatology , DOI: ( /j.jhep )

Fig. 8 PGE2 inhibits collagen α1(I) mRNA expression in TGF-β1-pretreated LX-1 cells. LX-1 cells were incubated in the presence of vehicle alone or 2.5 ng/ml of TGF-β1 for 18 h, or pre-treated with 2.5 ng/ml of TGF-β1 for 6 h before addition of 0.5 μM of PGE2 for further 12 h.

LX-1 cells were incubated in the presence of vehicle, 2.5 ng/ml of TGF-β1, 5 μM of NS398 for 6 h or 5 μM of NS398 for 3 h followed by 2.5 ng/ml of TGF-β1 for 3 h.

Fig. 11 Expression of PGE2 receptor mRNAs by LX-1 cells. Total RNA of untreated LX-1 cells was extracted and subjected to RT-PCR for receptors EP1-4. RNA substrate that had not undergone reverse transcription was used as a negative control (N) of the PCR. The positive controls (std) were cDNAs of the respective receptors.
