Different Cytokine and Chemokine Expression Patterns in Malignant Compared to Those in Nonmalignant Renal Cells

Expression profile of cytokines and chemokines in RCC cell lines. Expression data of cytokines and chemokines in the RCC cell lines Caki-1, 786-O, RCC4, and A498 as well as in the nonmalignant renal cell line RC-124 were measured performing a DNA array (Human Cytokines & Chemokines RT2 Profiler PCR Array; Qiagen) and expressed as relative mRNA normalized to nonmalignant RC-124 cells (RC-124 = 1.0). Cytokines and chemokines were classified into the four groups of chemokines (a), growth factors (b), TNF superfamily members (c), and interleukins (d).
