Journal ArticleDOI

IL-1β-driven neutrophilia preserves antibacterial defense in the absence of the kinase IKKβ.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found neutrophilia in mice with inducible deletion of IKKβ (Ikkβ(Δ) mice) and showed that deletion of interleukin 1 receptor 1 (IL-1R1) normalized blood cellularity and prevented neutrophil-driven inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation and cancer: the long reach of Ras.

TL;DR: Insights now emerge from work on Ras and the proinflammatory mediator interleukin-8, produced by tumor-infiltrating immune cells, and the role they play in tumor growth and survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel Rel/NF-kappa B family member displaying structural and functional homology to NF-kappa B p50/p105.

TL;DR: The NF-χB transcription factor consists of two subunits that are implicated in the inducible expression of many genes, including inflammatory, immune, and acute-phase response genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

From death receptor to reactive oxygen species and c‐Jun N‐terminal protein kinase: the receptor‐interacting protein 1 odyssey

TL;DR: Death receptors are more than simple killers: they control cell growth, proliferation, and survival, thereby playing a pivotal role in immune and inflammatory responses, and these molecular mechanisms may be involved in neoplastic, autoimmune, neurodegenerative, inflammatory, and metabolic diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intestinal glucuronidation protects against chemotherapy-induced toxicity by irinotecan (CPT-11)

TL;DR: By selectively targeting the deletion of the Ugt1 locus in either liver or intestinal tissue, it is confirmed that intestinal UGT1A-specific glucuronidation ofSN-38 is essential in preventing SN-38–induced toxicity, and being able to induce intestinal U GT1A1 may be effective in reducing CPT-11 toxicity.
