Sphingolipids: The Oil on the TRAFire That Promotes Inflammation

TL;DR: New evidence shows that sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a sphingolipid that is synthesized during inflammatory responses, is an essential cofactor for TRAF2 ubiquitin ligase activity and introduces lipid second messengers into the realm of TNFR and TLR signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunoregulatory genes and immunosuppression by glucocorticoids

TL;DR: In spite of the widespread use of glucocorticoids, the molecular mechanisms that underlie their therapeutic effects are poorly understood as mentioned in this paper, and they are widely used as immunosuppressive and antiinflammatory agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

NF-κB: A Double-Edged Sword Controlling Inflammation

TL;DR: The current understanding about the pro- and anti-inflammatory roles of NF-κB is reviewed and the implication of its dichotomous inflammation-modulating activity in the context of inflammasome activation and tumorigenesis is discussed.
