TLDR
This review highlights key negative regulatory principles that affect the amount, localization or conformational properties of NF-κB-activating proteins to attenuate the NF-kB response to prevent inflammation, autoimmune disease and oncogenesis.
Abstract
Activation of NF-κB transcription factors by receptors of the innate or adaptive immune system is essential for host defense. However, after danger is eliminated, NF-κB signaling needs to be tightly downregulated for the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. This review highlights key negative regulatory principles that affect the amount, localization or conformational properties of NF-κB-activating proteins to attenuate the NF-κB response. These mechanisms are needed to prevent inflammation, autoimmune disease and oncogenesis.

Bicyclic Cyclohexenones as Inhibitors of NF-κB Signaling

TL;DR: A series of structurally simplified cryptocaryone analogues synthesized by a facile Pd-catalyzed acetoxylation of alkyne-tethered cyclohexadienones constitute a promising new scaffold for the development of novel NF-κB inhibitors and anticancer agents.

Identification of LPS-Activated Endothelial Subpopulations With Distinct Inflammatory Phenotypes and Regulatory Signaling Mechanisms

TL;DR: It is suggested that LPS activates different signaling mechanisms in EC that drive heterogeneous expression of EC inflammatory molecules and further characterization of the signaling pathways involved will enhance the understanding of endothelial heterogeneous responses to sepsis related stimuli.

Verproside inhibits TNF-α-induced MUC5AC expression through suppression of the TNF-α/NF-κB pathway in human airway epithelial cells.

TL;DR: Results suggest that verproside could be a good therapeutic candidate for treatment of inflammatory airway diseases such as asthma and COPD by blocking the TNF-α/NF-κB signaling pathway.
