treated monocytes from sepsis patients with LPS in vitro, and their findings indicated that the expression of genes associated with pro-inflammatory cytokines (such as TNF-α, IL-1A, IL-1B, IL-6, IL-12A, IL-23A) and chemokines (such as CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CCL20, CCL23, CXCL2, CXCL11) were not upregulated. This evidence concerns the gene TNF and Sepsis.
