Does early growth responsive gene ( Egr ) -1 expression correlate with cardiac allograft rejection?
In consideration of its role as a transcription factor for genes involved in pathologic processes, Egr-1 expression in endomyocardial biopsies may act as a surrogate marker of cardiac allograft rejection.
Collectively, these data suggest that adenosine, via activation of A(2A) receptors, may directly facilitate basolateral amygdala pyramidal cell output, providing a possible balance for the recently described inhibitory effects of adenosine A1 receptor activation on glutamatergic excitation of basolateral amygdala pyramidal cells.
