From: TL1A/DR3 axis involvement in the inflammatory cytokine network during pulmonary sarcoidosis
Western blotting (a) and confocal microscopy (b) analyses of TL1A and DR3 proteins evaluated in lung T cells and alveolar macrophages obtained from the BAL of two representative cases of patients with active and inactive sarcoidosis and of a control subject. (c) TL1A and DR3 mRNA expression in CD4+ T lymphocytes and alveolar macrophages/monocytes freshly obtained from the lung and the blood of patients affected by active sarcoidosis (black columns), inactive sarcoidosis (grey columns), and from control subjects (white columns). Expression of TL1A and DR3 mRNAs was normalized on GAPDH mRNA. Data are expressed as mean ± SD
