Role of sphingosine kinase in the expression of adhesion molecules on monocytes induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha : relevance to atherosclerosis
In this project, the effect of TNFa on the expression of ICAM-1 and (31 integrin (receptor of endothelial VCAM-1) on monocytes (U937 cells) was studied. In addition, an attempt was made to investigate the involvement of SPHK in this TNFa signaling pathway and to identify the mediators involved in th...
