Data shown in bold represent observations that have so far not been reported in literature.

ND indicates not detectable, since our strict statistical criteria do not appraise the respective gene transcripts in empty expression vector-infected HUVECs as TNF-α inducible; and +++ indicates an expression over background with an n-fold range of 25-50; ++, n-fold range of 10 to 25; and +, n-fold range of 5 to 10.
