Effect of polyunsaturated fatty acids and PMA on the production of MMP-9. MonoMac 6 cells (0.8 × 106/ml in serum-free medium X-Vivo 15) were stimulated with 1 or 10 μM arachidonic acid (AA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) without (1A) or in the presence of 1.3 nM PMA (1B). The culture media were harvested after 24 h incubation and analysed for MMP-9 by gelatin zymography. The media of PMA-treated cells were diluted (1:10) to preserve the linearity of response in image analysis.
