In order to investigate the mRNA expression pattern in sarcoidosis, the expression levels of CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CCL7, CCL8, CCL13, CCL19, CXCL2, CXCL3, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, CXCL12, CXCL16, CCR1, CCR2A, CCR2B, CCR5, CXCR3, CXCR4, CXCR6, CXCR7, IL2, IL2RA, IL2RB, IL15RA, IFNG, and T-bet were determined in BAL cells obtained from sarcoidosis patients and control subjects. This evidence concerns the gene CCL2 and sarcoidosis.
