Furthermore, NECA suppressed TNF-α secretion in DCs of mice (Figure 4B), patients with DM (Figure 3B) and DR (Figure 5B), but only suppressed IL-12 p70 secretion in mice DCs (Figure 4B) and IL-6 secretion in DCs of patients with DM (Figure 3B). This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and dermatomyositis.
