Results of multiple sclerosis :

Result The CGRP mRNA expression was also markedly and significantly upregulated in CGRP-transfected mDCs compared with the mock-transfected cells
Mechanism/pathway CGRP augmented the LPS and GM-CSF–induced IL-10 expression but suppressed the LPS and GM-CSF-induced IL-1 and IL-12 expression.
