Simvastatin 70-81 tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens 230-239 18203325-11 2008 CONCLUSION: These data, together with our previous report, suggest that low (pharmacological range) and high concentrations of simvastatin affect FLS differently: (1) at a low concentration, it inhibits IL-6 and IL-8 production and the cell proliferation of FLS induced by TNF-alpha (2) at high concentrations, it induces apoptosis in FLS.
