Example sentences for: suppress
How can you use “suppress” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In the present study we set out to learn about the biological function of Rab24 by using a well-established paradigm in which a dominant-negative Rab construct is expressed in cultured cells, anticipating that it will suppress the trafficking step(s) mediated by its endogenous counterpart.
For example, PPARγ agonists were shown to protect cytokine-induced PCD in cerebellar granule cells [ 59 ] . These agents could also block the neurotoxic effects caused by β-amyloid activated microglia, and thus might be beneficial in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease [ 60 ] . In non-neuronal tissues, PPARα activation was shown to suppress both spontaneous rat hepatocyte PCD and the PCD induced by transforming growth factor-β1 [ 61 ] .
TGF-β family proteins, including β1,β2 and β3, induce TNF-resistance and suppress the PH-20 effect of increasing TNF cytotoxicity in murine L929 fibroblasts [ 8 11 ] . TGF-β1 induces a novel extracellular matrix protein that prevents TNF-mediated cell death and blocks the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK; also known as p42/44 mitogen-activated protein kinase, p42/44 MAPK) in L929 cells [ 8 12 ] . Additionally, TGF-β1 induces the expression of TIAF1 (TGF-β-induced antiapoptotic factor) [ 13 ] and TIF2 (TGF-β-induced factor 2) [ 14 ] that inhibit TNF cytotoxicity.
Once IL-10 is produced it functions in an autoregulatory fashion to suppress proinflammatory cytokine mRNA expression and protein production [ 5 6 7 ] . In addition, IL-10 suppresses the expression of MHC class II molecules and costimulatory molecules such as intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and B7, leading to reduction in T-cell macrophage interactions [ 8 9 10 ] .
In transfection assays, full-length constructs of three splice variants of an endogenous coding transcript containing regions antisense to the FGF2 (fibroblast growth factor-2) mRNA can each suppress protein levels (but not mRNA levels) of FGF2 [ 7].
