Figure 2 From: Tumor necrosis factor alpha and adalimumab differentially regulate CD36 expression in human monocytes Regulation of CD36 mRNA expression by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α and adalimumab. TNFα decreases CD36 mRNA expression and adalimumab increases CD36 mRNA expression. Human monocytes were incubated with macrophage-serum-free medium (M-SFM) alone (control), or with M-SFM containing TNFα (10 ng/ml) or adalimumab (Ada; 1 μg/ml) for 4 h. CD36 mRNA expression was quantified using RT-PCR and normalized to β-actin. Data represent the mean ± standard error of the relative quantification of CD36 mRNA expression measured in three experiments. *Significantly different from control (p < 0.05).Back to article page
