Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does autocrine secretion of 15d-PGJ2 mediate simvastatin-induced apoptotic burst in human metastatic melanoma cells?
Answer: We characterized simvastatin-induced activation of the 15d-PGJ2 /FABP5 signalling cascades, which triggered an apoptotic burst in melanoma cells but did not affect primary human melanocytes. These data support the rationale for the pharmacological targeting of 15d-PGJ2 in metastatic melanoma.
Output (English): yes
