The phrase "attenuated the expression" is grammatically correct and can be used in written English.
It means to make something weaker or less intense. Example: The editor attenuated the expression of the author's anger, making it more appropriate for a general audience.
Furthermore, the hydrogels attenuated the expression of SOX-9, aggrecan, and type II collagen.
Also, a single dose of thalidomide 20 mg/kg attenuated the expression phase of antinociceptive tolerance.
During development, ethanol selectively attenuated the expression of cnr1a mRNA only.
Induction of IAPP in NP cells by transfection with pLV-IAPP enhanced the synthesis of aggrecan and Col2A1 and attenuated the expression of pro-inflammatory factors, tumor necrosis factor (TNF -α, and inTNF -αkin (IL)-1.
To sum up, in vitro diabetic conditions attenuated the expression of Egr1 by inactivating AMPK signaling, which resulted in the further suppression of downstream tendon-related genes, including TGF-β1, type 1 collagen, and Bgn (Fig. 8).
Moreover, these three curcuminoid pigments attenuated the expression of mRNA and proteins of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in a concentration-dependent manner and the relative potency was also DMC > BDMC > Cur.
EMD008 significantly attenuated the expression of Bax during hyperglycemia and that of activated caspase-3 under normoglycemia.
Western blotting analysis demonstrated that exposure of Daoy cells to 20 μM Ginkgetin for 24 h significantly attenuated the expression of Axin2, cyclinD1 and survivin (Fig. 3a).
In addition, calpeptin attenuated the expression of key proteolytic enzymes known to be involved in ventilator-induced diaphragm atrophy, including MAFbx and MuRF1.
Figure 2 shows the results of immune blotting and gel shifts: while NF-κB activation (Figure 2A) was comparable, HAM1101 attenuated the expression of HO-1 (Figure 2B) and activated caspase 3 (Figure 2C).
The same drug significantly attenuated the expression of a morphine CPP [10].
