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. Here, CCR1 is linked to sarcoidosis.
