Chemokine is a kind of cytokine that induces cell transport to inflammation sites. It plays an important role in controlling the differentiation, development and directed migration of immunocytes. CCL20 is one of the important members of chemokine family, and it belongs to CC subfamily. Its receptor is CCR6. CCL20 can be expressed in activated monocytes, T lymphocytes, dendritic cells and endothelial cells, and CCR6 can be expressed in liver, lung, and lymphoid tissues. The expression of CCL20 can be induced by tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-17, CD40 ligand and interferon γ (IFN-gamma;). In summary, CCL20 plays an important role in tumor growth, invasion and metastasis (mainly refers to intrahepatic metastasis). Copyright© 2011 by TUMOR.

To investigate the regulation of osteoclast inhibitory lectin (OCIL) mRNA expression by prostaglandin E2 ( PGE2 ) in rat osteoblastic cells and the involved signaling pathways. Rat primary osteoblasts and UMR106 osteoblast-like cells were cultured and treated with various doses of PGE2 or regulators of different signaling pathways for different periods of time, the cells were then harvested at indicated dates. Total RNA were isolated and OCIL mRNA expression were studied by real-time PCR. PGE2, Forskolin, db-cAMP, and A23187 increased OCIL mRNA by 2. 38 fold,4. 2 fold,4. 5 fold, and 5. 1 fold ( all P＜0. 01 ) respectively, while PMA downregulated OCIL mRNA expression by 50% ( P＜0. 01 ). KT-5720, verapamil, W7, and PD98059 downregulated PGE2 induced OCIL mRNA expression by 56%, 40%, 65%, and 60%, respectively( all P＜0. 0l ). While chelerythrine enhanced PGE2 induced OCIL mRNA expression by 30% ( P＜0. 05 ). PGE2 up-regulated the expression of OCIL in rat osteoblastic cells via PKA, MAPK, and Ca2+/Calmodulin signaling pathways.
