Figure 1 Effect of PAF-R agonist or UVB irradiation on CCL20 protein levels in KB cells. KBM and KBP cells were treated with 100nM of the PAF-R agonist CPAF, 1μm of the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, vehicle control, or irradiation with 400J/m2 with UVB. The supernatants were removed 6hours later and CCL20 protein measured by ELISA. Cell density was assessed by counting. The values are mean±SD pg CCL20 per 106 cells of a typical experiment using duplicate samples from at least four separate experiments.

Figure 2 Effect of PAF-R agonist on cytokine mRNA levels in vivo. Skin of wild-type or PAF-R−/− mice was injected with BSA vehicle, 100ng CPAF, or irradiated with 1,200J/m2 UVB. After 8hours, the skin was harvested and RNA extracted and subjected to quantitative real-time RT-PCR. The values are mean±SE mRNA levels of (a) TNF-α and (b) CCL20 normalized to 18S ribosomal RNA from duplicate samples and are derived from four mice of each genotype. *Denotes statistically significant (P<0.05 using paired Student's t-test) decreases in cytokine mRNA in PAF-R−/− mice in comparison with wild-type counterparts.

Figure 3 Effect of PAF-R agonist on cytokine protein levels in vivo. Skin of wild-type or PAF-R−/− mice was injected with BSA vehicle, 100ng CPAF, or irradiated with 1,200J/m2 UVB. After 8hours, the skin was harvested and subjected to immunohistochemistry to measure (a) TNF-α and (b) CCL20. The above are representative of findings from four mice of each genotype.
