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.

Nuclear factor-kappaB1: regulation and function.

TL;DR: A detailed overview of the structure, synthesis and function of the lesser characterised NF-kappaB subunit, namely, p50:p65, is presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Salicylates and sulfasalazine, but not glucocorticoids, inhibit leukocyte accumulation by an adenosine-dependent mechanism that is independent of inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis and p105 of NFκB

TL;DR: The antiinflammatory effects of aspirin and sodium salicylate, but not glucocorticoids, are largely mediated by the antiinflammatory autacoid adenosine independently of inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by COX-1 or COX2 or of the presence of p105.

C-Rel Regulates Interleukin 12 P70 Expression in Cd8+ Dendritic Cells by Specifically Inducing p35 Gene Transcription

TL;DR: In CD8+ dendritic cells, major producers of IL-12 p70, the Rel/nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling pathway is necessary for the induction of IL -12 in response to microbial stimuli and is controlled through both the p35 and p40 genes in a cell type–specific fashion.
Journal ArticleDOI

NFKB1: a suppressor of inflammation, ageing and cancer.

TL;DR: Recent results reveal that the nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B‐cells 1 (NFKB1) (p105/p50) subunit is an important regulator of NF‐κB activity in vivo, potentially revealing new strategies for targeting this pathway in inflammatory diseases and cancer.

Divergent roles of endothelial NF-κB in multiple organ injury and bacterial clearance in mouse models of sepsis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that endothelial NF-κB activity is an essential mediator of septic multiple organ inflammation and injury but plays little role in the host defense response to eradicate invading pathogenic bacteria.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
