“…6A), four play a role in chemotaxis: CXCL3 (FC=50.3, critical for leukocyte chemotaxis), IL-1α (FC=23.4, recruitment of neutrophils), CCL3 (FC=17.1, recruits T-cells (93)), and CCL4L1/2 (FC=8.1/5.5, trafficking of NK cells (94)). Other genes significantly upregulated in M7 include acute phase protein pentraxin-3 (PTX3, FC=15.3 (95)); ceruloplasmin (CP, FC=3.7) and granzyme A (GZMA, FC=2.2), expressed primarily by NK cells and play a role in host defense (96, 97); and GJA1 (FC=9.6), important for barrier function (98). …”
