trending toward significancep = 0.06
In the absence of DDR inhibitors, PGE 2 levels increased several fold 24 or 48 h after 10 Gy γ-rays with most cell lines, with statistically significant differences in MCF7 and BJ1hTERT, and trending toward significance in HT1080 ( p = 0.06); HCT116 showed an approximately eightfold increase at 48 h, but significance could not be calculated because only a single determination was made at this time point (Figure 2 A).
