“…Our previous studies identified 48 gene products that were regulated by LGI3 1–9,18. LGI3 was postulated to participate in cytokine network through regulating various cytokines and secreted factors including TNF-α, adiponectin, C–C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2, MCP-1), C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 13 (CXCL13), C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CXCL2), C-reactive protein (CRP), TIMP1, colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1), CSF3, complement C5 (C5), endothelial cell-specific molecule 1 (ESM1), IGF1, insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1 (IGFBP1), IGFBP5, interleukin 6 (IL6), lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and SERPINE1 18.…”
