1 We analyzed the role of capsaicin in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha secretion by PC-3 cells which was increased at shorter times than IL-6 production. Capsaicin tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
2 Furthermore, incubation of PC-3 cells with an anti-TNF-alpha antibody blocked the capsaicin-induced IL-6 secretion. Capsaicin tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
3 These results raise the possibility that capsaicin-mediated IL-6 increase in prostate cancer PC-3 cells is regulated at least in part by TNF-alpha secretion and signaling pathway involving Akt, ERK and PKC-alpha activation. Capsaicin tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
