Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation as a link between obesity, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: The objectives of this review are to expose recent data supporting the role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes and to examine various mechanisms underlying this relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI

NF-κB activation by reactive oxygen species: Fifteen years later

TL;DR: This review critically review the recent data highlighting the role of ROS in NF-κB activation by proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), two major components of innate immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

PERK is required at the ER-mitochondrial contact sites to convey apoptosis after ROS-based ER stress

TL;DR: It is revealed that PERK (RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR)-like ER kinase), a key ER stress sensor of the unfolded protein response, is uniquely enriched at the mitochondria-associated ER membranes (MAMs), suggesting that loss of PERK may cause defects in cell death sensitivity in pathological conditions linked to ROS-mediated ER stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ribosomal L5 protein is associated with mdm-2 and mdm-2-p53 complexes.

TL;DR: A unique ribonucleoprotein complex composed of 5S RNA, L5 protein, mdm-2 proteins, p53 protein, and possibly the 5.8S RNA is identified, which suggests a role for these proteins and RNA species in ribosomal biogenesis, ribosome transport from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, or translational regulation in the cell.
