Dexamethasone 53-66 CD38 molecule Homo sapiens 89-93 16571778-5 2006 In HASM cells, TNF-alpha augmented CD38 expression and ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity, which were attenuated by dexamethasone. Dexamethasone 110-123 CD38 molecule Homo sapiens 35-39 16571778-9 2006 The results indicate that TNF-alpha-induced CD38 expression involves NF-kappaB expression and its activation and dexamethasone inhibits CD38 expression through NF-kappaB-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Dexamethasone 113-126 CD38 molecule Homo sapiens 136-140
