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.

Gomisin A decreases the LPS-induced expression of iNOS and COX-2 and activation of RIP2/NF-κB in mouse peritoneal macrophages

TL;DR: The results show that the anti-inflammatory properties of GA potentially result from the inhibition of COX-2, iNOS, IL-6, TNF-α and NO through the down-regulation of RIP2 and NF-κB activation, which impact the development of potential health products for preventing and treating inflammatory diseases.

Soluble (pro)renin receptor induces endothelial dysfunction and hypertension in mice with diet-induced obesity via activation of angiotensin II type 1 receptor.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of soluble (pro)renin receptor (sPRR), a product of site-1 protease-mediated cleavage of PRR, as a possible ligand of the AT1R in mediating endothelial cell dysfunction in vitro; and arterial dysfunction in mice with diet-induced obesity.

A novel mechanism of crosstalk between the p53 and NFκB pathways: MDM2 binds and inhibits p65RelA.

TL;DR: It is reported that the E3 ubiquitin ligase MDM2, whose gene is transcriptionally activated by both NFκB and p53, can bind and inhibit the p65RelA subunit ofNFκB, and can act as a direct negative regulator of NFκBs by binding and inhibiting p65relA.

Differential immunomodulatory effects by Tripterygium wilfordii Hook f-derived refined extract PG27 and its purified component PG490 (triptolide) in human peripheral blood T cells: potential therapeutics for arthritis and possible mechanisms explaining in part Chinese herbal theory “Junn-Chenn-Zuou-SS”

TL;DR: PG27, a refined extract from a well-known Chinese antirheumatic herb Tripterygium wilfordii Hook f (TwHf), is effective in attenuating transplantation rejection and extending survival of cardiac xenografts and differential regulatory effects and mechanisms by PG27 and PG490 further support in part a possibly-existing Chinese herbal theory “Junn-Chenn-Zuou-SS”.

TL;DR: A role is proposed for miR-146 in control of Toll-like receptor and cytokine signaling through a negative feedback regulation loop involving down-regulation of IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 and TNF receptor- associated factor 6 protein levels.
