Abstract:locomotion. Ccr2 null mice were protected from these locomotion decreases, despite similar joint damage at 8 weeks post DMM, and Ccr2 null DRG did not produce MCP-1. Therefore, we sought to further investigate the expression and regulation of MCP-1 in the DMM model. The current goals were to: 1) Test whether TNF-a induces MCP-1 production in DRG cells, since it has been shown that TNFa induces Mcp-1 mRNA in cultured DRG cell lines. 2) Analyze MCP-1 protein content in the knees of wild-type (WT) and Ccr2 null m… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
