The M2000, as a novel NSAID is able to modify by lowering the gene expression levels of SR-A, LOX-1, CD36, and CD68 in treated rats compared to the untreated diabetic group, which may play an important role in preventing the complications that could lead to a cardioprotective efficacy.

Mesenchymal stem cells could inhibit the process of chronic rejection of small intestine transplant. The mechanisms may include the inhibited function of these cells on lymphocyte proliferation, reduced infiltration of macrophages, and reduced expression of transforming growth factor beta1 and platelet-derived growth factor C.

Both recombinant rat S100A8 (r-S100A8) and r-S100A9 bound to r-CD68. Small interfering CD68 also significantly suppressed activation of macrophages through an autocrine pathway by r-S100A8 or r-S100A9. In macrophages stimulated with LPS, most CD68 colocalized with S100A8 or S100A9 and that the levels of all 3 molecules were markedly increased.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
