Abbreviation in parenthesis represents the old cytokine nomenclature. The '×' symbol designates gene ontology bioprocesses in which a given gene is involved. Numbers in PubMatrix terms columns represent citations containing the terms 'lung' and 'lung injury' terms. The '?' symbol indicates downregulated genes; all genes with unmarked gene names are upregulated. BC, blood coagulation; CT, chemotaxis; IM, immune response; IN, inflammatory response; NR, negative regulation of cell proliferation.
