In addition, narciclasine suppressed the secretion of inflammatory cytokines, including necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), Interleukin (IL-6), IL-1β, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) in serum, and inhibited the expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in lung tissues of neonatal ALI rats. The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is acute respiratory distress syndrome.
