Gene Expression Profiling Identifies MMP-12 and ADAMDEC1 as Potential Pathogenic Mediators of Pulmonary Sarcoidosis
12 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Little is known about the genetic regulation of granulomatous inflammation in sarcoidosis. OBJECTIVES: To determine if tissue gene array analysis would identify novel genes engaged in inflammation and lung remodeling in patients with sarcoidosis. METHODS: Gene expression analysis was performed on tissues obtained from patients with sarcoidosis at the time of diagnosis (untreated) (n = 6) compared with...
