Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the case of intensive care management, the prognosis depends on the severity of the inflammation. If we can quantitatively assess the inflammation using cell samples from patients, it would be useful in clinical practice. In the present study, we focused on human blood-derived cell line and investigated the expression levels of diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) family, an enzyme involved in intracellular signal transduction, under physiological and stimulatory conditions with LPS and IL2. We found that DGKepsilon is upregulated in the initial phase of inflammation, suggesting that this isozyme is intimately involved in the inflammatory process.
