"Decreased expression" refers to the reduced or lowered amount or level at which something is being shown, displayed, or represented. It often refers to the reduced or diminished manifestation of a thought, emotion, or characteristic.

kinases decreased the expression of the Hippo pathway mediator TAZ and downstream target genes in triple - negative and HER2 + breast cancer cells.
Some genetic variations in SLC16A11
simply decrease its expression in the liver (an organ that helps regulate blood sugar levels, and is therefore implicated in T2D).
Botox is a form of muscle relaxant that
decreases expression lines by paralysing muscle movement, and is mainly used on the upper face for frown, forehead and crow's feet lines.

The study showed that the combination of NMX1000 ® avocado / soybean unsaponifiables, FCHG49 ® glucosamine hydrochloride, and TRH122 ® low molecular weight chondroitin
sulfate decreased expression of the enzyme cyclooxygenase - 2 that regulates the production of the mediator prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in both equine chondrocytes and equine osteoblasts.
However, the impact of the two methylation - regulating enzymes was still seen at 10 to 15 months, when scientists
found decreased expression of hundreds of genes — many of which are key tumor suppressor genes such as BMP3, SFRP2 and GATA4 — in the smoke - exposed cells and a five - or - more-fold increase in the signaling of the KRAS oncogene that is known to be mutated in smoking - related lung cancers.
Knockdown of NANCI expression during lung development leads to decreased Nkx2.1 expression and mimics the defects due to loss of a single copy of the Nkx2.1 gene,
including decreased expression of surfactant proteins.
It has been reported that human breast CSCs and normal human mammary stem / progenitor cells
showed decreased expression of miR200c and other miR200 members and that restoring miR200c in breast CSCs inhibits their ability to expand clonally and form tumors in vivo [38].
Michaelsson G, Ahs S, Hammastrom I, Pihl Lundin I, Hagforsen E. Gluten - free Diet in Psoriasis Patients with Antibodies to Gliadin Results
in Decreased Expression of Tissue Transglutaminase and Fewer Ki67z Cells in the Dermis.
Flavonoids, including anthocyanins, seem to modulate this type of monocyte adhesion during the inflammatory process
by decreasing their expression by endothelial cells.
We observed that treatment of ALK + ALCL cell lines with the PI3K inhibitor, LY294002 (data not shown), and with the mTOR inhibitor, rapamycin, resulted in
decreased expression of total eIF4E.
The team found that high - aneuploidy tumors had increased expression of genes implicated in DNA replication, cell cycle, mitosis, and chromosome maintenance, yet
decreased expression of genes characteristic of the infiltrating immune cells responsible for tumor destruction.
The increased expression cells are called «Runx2 knock - in» cells, and
the decreased expression cells are called «Runx2 knock - down» cells.
For animal models, Yang and colleagues used molecular genetic techniques to either increase or
decrease the expression of Runx2 in a mouse myeloma cell line.
The researchers also looked at the gene expression of skin cells from people with psoriasis and found
decreased expression of the genes involved in pigmentation signaling, correlated with increased amounts of IL - 17 and TNF.
This gene regulatory code is read by proteins called transcription factors that bind to specific «DNA words» and either increase or
decrease the expression of the associated gene.
Millar's group and her clinical collaborators, including Emily Chu, MD, PhD, an assistant professor of Dermatology and John McGrath, MD, from King's College, London, also discovered that cracking and scaling of palm and foot sole skin in WNT10A patients is due to
decreased expression of a structural protein called Keratin 9, which is specifically expressed in these regions of skin and contributes to its mechanical integrity.
They demonstrated that, similar to mouse, Rac1 inhibition resulted in impaired branching and
decreased expression of AXIN2 and FGFR2b in human lung cultures.
In the Cell Reports study, the authors hypothesized that if they could
decrease expression of this subunit, they could improve cognitive function of AS model mice.
AMD3100, alone or in combination with VIC - 008,
decreases expression of the immune checkpoint molecule PD - 1 on CD8 T cells, implying that the CXCR4 / CXCR12 pathway modulates PD - 1 expression.
Acute alcohol - treated FOXO3 - deficient mice developed more severe liver injury than that of wild - type mice, and this was attributed to
decreased expression of autophagy - related genes.
