In addition, an attempt was made to investigate the involvement of SPHK in this TNFa signaling pathway and to identify the mediators involved in the cascade. It was found that TNFa up-regulated the expression of ICAM-1 and integrin pi on monocytes and SPHK was involved in the signaling cascade. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10356/5313 | Schools: | School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering | Rights: | Nanyang Technological University | Fulltext Permission: | restricted | Fulltext Availability: | With Fulltext |
