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.

NF-κB Controls Cell Growth and Differentiation through Transcriptional Regulation of Cyclin D1

TL;DR: It is shown that NF-κB also promotes cell growth in embryonic fibroblasts, correlating with its regulation of cyclin D1, and is identified as an important transcriptional target of NF-α, revealing a mechanism to explain how NF-β is involved in the early phases of the cell cycle to regulate cell growth and differentiation.

30 Years of NF-κB: A Blossoming of Relevance to Human Pathobiology

TL;DR: The NF-κB was discovered 30 years ago as a rapidly inducible transcription factor and has been found to have a broad role in gene induction in diverse cellular responses, particularly throughout the immune system as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

NF-κB: A lesson in family values

TL;DR: Recent progress is reviewed in understanding the mechanisms involved in the activation of NF-KB, the function of individual Rel family proteins, and synergistic interactions between Rel proteins and other families of transcription factors, leading to specific gene activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

NF-kappaB and the immune response.

TL;DR: The role of the NF-κB pathway in the development and functioning of the immune system has been discussed in this article, where a review of the role of this pathway is presented.

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.

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.
