Upregulation of basic fibroblast growth factor 2 (bFGF) in basal cell carcinoma (BCC) cells over-expressing interleukin-6 (IL-6). (A) After serum starvation, the mRNA of various cell lines as indicated were extracted and semiquantified by RT-PCR of bFGF, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and IL-8. The number below each lane indicates the relative densitometric intensity to control (defined as 1.0). This represents one of three experiments. (B). Cell-free culture supernatant was analyzed for bFGF by ELISA. Concentration of bFGF was expressed as meanplusminusSD of five experiments. Student's t test was used for comparison.
