We showed that hyperglycemia enhanced the proinflammatory response of M(IFNγ) to Hb-Hp complex uptake by stimulating the production of TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-1RA, supporting the observation that hyperglycemia itself can induce the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines [6]. The gene discussed is TNF; the disease is Hyperglycemia.
