Targeted disruption of the p50 subunit of NF-κB leads to multifocal defects in immune responses

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Data support the role of NF-kappa B as a vital transcription factor for both specific and nonspecific immune responses, but do not indicate a developmental role for the factor.

Regulation of transcription factor nfkappa b in immune senescence

TL;DR: It is suspected that a similar alteration in proteasomal activity may be operative in age-dependent failure of immune function including the inability to initiate DNA synthesis following activation, skewing of T cell repertoire, lowered cytolytic activity and accumulation of aberrant proteins.

Presence of a population of CD20+, CD38- B lymphocytes with defective proliferative responsiveness in the synovial compartment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

TL;DR: The capacity of synovial B cells to respond to activation by the production of Ig supports the notion that these cells might serve as Ig-producing effector cells and, as such, play a role in the pathophysiology of RA.

Myeloid cells control termination of lung inflammation through the NF-κB pathway

TL;DR: An important role is indicated for inhibitory members of the NF-kappaB family acting specifically within myeloid cells to limit inflammatory responses in the lungs.
Journal ArticleDOI

IκB kinase-induced interaction of TPL-2 kinase with 14-3-3 is essential for Toll-like receptor activation of ERK-1 and -2 MAP kinases

TL;DR: The data identify a key step in the activation of TPL-2 signaling and provide a mechanistic insight into how C-terminal deletion triggers the oncogenic potential of T PL-2 by rendering its kinase activity independent of 14-3-3 binding.

Current protocols in immunology

TL;DR: Current Protocols in Immunology is a three-volume looseleaf manual that provides comprehensive coverage of immunological methods from classic to the most cutting edge, including antibody detection and preparation, assays for functional activities of mouse and human cells involved in immune responses, and animal models of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

Multiple nuclear factors interact with the immunoglobulin enhancer sequences.

TL;DR: In this paper, an electrophoretic mobility shift assay with end-labeled DNA fragments was used to characterize proteins that bind to the immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain and the kappa light chain enhancers.

Severe hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice created by homologous recombination in ES cells

TL;DR: apoE-deficient mice are a promising small animal model to help understand the role of apoE in vivo and the genetic and environmental determinants of atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inducibility of κ immunoglobulin enhancer-binding protein NF-κB by a posttranslational mechanism

TL;DR: Phorbol-ester-mediated induction of NF-kappa B was observed in a T cell line and a nonlymphoid cell line, and is therefore not restricted to B-lymphoids cells, indicating that factors that control transcription of specific genes in specific cells may be activated by posttranslational modification of precursor factors present more widely.

Activation of interleukin-6 gene expression through the NF-kappa B transcription factor.

TL;DR: NF-kappa B is an important mediator for activation of the IL-6 gene by a variety of IL- 6 inducers in both U-937 and HeLa cells and that alternative inducible enhancer elements contribute in a cell-specific manner to IL-8 gene induction.
