The phrase "attenuate expression of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing the reduction or weakening of a particular expression, often in scientific or technical writing.
Example: "The treatment was shown to attenuate expression of the inflammatory cytokines in the affected tissues."
Alternatives: "reduce expression of" or "diminish expression of".
Using disparate terminators to attenuate expression of argF, an optimal strain (CO-9) with a T4 terminator produced 6.1 g/L of l-ornithine, which is 42.8% higher than that produced by strain CO-1, and is 11.2-fold higher than that of the parent CO strain.
This intron is believed to attenuate expression of the SFRS1 gene through regulated unproductive splicing and translation (RUST) mechanism [27].
We used RNAi to attenuate expression of specific A. gambiae antennal OBPs and applied this approach to investigate whether OBPs mediate odor perception in vivo.
Using specific siRNA to attenuate expression of primary fetal enterocyte cultures, both TOLLIP and A-20 were confirmed to be important when knocked down by exhibiting the same excessive inflammatory response seen in the NEC intestine.
The lack of an absolute requirement for PKA activity in gluconeogenic gene expression is also supported by the finding that disruption of the CREB-CBP interaction in liver does not attenuate expression of gluconeogenic genes such as PEPCK, G6Pase and PGC-1α [41].
Conversely, Sox2 and its substitutes can attenuate expression of mesendodermal genes induced by OKM.
Whereas treatment of control HEEs with arachidonic acid increased expression of inflammatory cytokines, 12-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid attenuated expression of late differentiation markers.
Subsequent analysis of pro- and anti-apoptotic transcription factors demonstrated attenuated expression of the pro-apoptotic markers Chop (Fig. 5b), Dp5 (Fig. 5c), Atf3 (Fig. 5d), and Bax (Fig. 5e) and enhanced expression of the anti-apoptotic marker Mcl-1 (Fig. 5f), following blocking the C- and N-terminal regions of sGRP78.
Remifentanil attenuates expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 in vitro [8].
Insig2a, but not Insig1 or Insig2b, was dramatically decreased during fasting in Crtc2−/− mice, which is similar to attenuated expression of gluconeogenic genes (Pck1 and G6pc) (Figs. 1B and S1).
We also found that p53 inactivation attenuates expression of terminal markers of muscle differentiation in C2 myoblasts following differentiation induction.
