The products of these genes were: CSF-1 receptor, which is a receptor of inflammatory cytokines that activates monocyte/macrophages; TGF-beta type II receptor, which is a receptor of TGF-betas involved in wound healing and fibrosis; a subunit of Na+/K(+)-ATPase, an amiloride-sensitive cation channel, and a subunit of the potassium channel, all of which regulate the alveolar fluid balance and play a role in clearing lung edema; the adenosine A2a receptor, which has a protective function in the lung and interacts with dopamine D1 and D2 receptors to regulate the function of amiloride-sensitive cation channels; cofilin, which is involved in the depolymerization and cleavage of actin filaments; LIM motif-containing protein kinase 1, which negatively regulates the activity of cofilin; SHPS-1, which regulates the integrin-mediated reorganization of the cytoskeleton; and sodium channel beta 2, which is involved in cell adhesion and migration.
