Activated transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B is present in the atherosclerotic lesion.
Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB)/Rel transcription factors play an important role in the inducible regulation of a variety of genes involved in the inflammatory and proliferative responses of cells. The present study was designed to elucidate the implication of NF-kappaB/Rel in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Activation of the dimeric NF-kappaB complex is regulated at a posttranslational...
متن کاملNuclear factor-kappa B is constitutively activated in peritoneal endometriosis.
Red (active), black and white endometriotic lesions are characteristic of peritoneal endometriosis. The transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) activates proinflammatory, proliferative and antiapoptotic genes in many cell types. To determine whether NF-kappaB is activated in peritoneal endometriosis in women, and further ascertain the differential inflammatory status of endometr...
متن کاملReceptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa B Ligand (RANKL) Levels in Peri-Implant Crevicular Fluid
Background: Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) is one of the key cytokines in the induction of osteoclastogenesis both in vitro and in vivo.Several reports indicated the presence of sRANKL in gingival crevicular fluid of patients with periodontal diseases. Objective: To determine the presence of RANKL in peri-implant crevicular fluid samples of implants with peri-implan...
متن کاملEye enucleation activates the transcription nuclear factor kappa-B in the rat superior colliculus
Ocular enucleation produces significant morphological and physiological changes in central visual areas. However, our knowledge of the molecular events resulting from eye enucleation in visual brain areas remains elusive. We characterized here the transcription nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) activation induced by ocular enucleation in the rat superior colliculus (SC). We also tested the effecti...
متن کاملThe dichotomy of inhibiting nuclear factor kappa-B in pneumonia
Activation of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) results in its translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and binding to the promoters of a large number of genes, including those encoding proinflammatory cytokines and other mediators that can contribute to organ system dysfunction in severe infection. While inhibition of NF-κB activation has been proposed as a therapeutic approach in critical...
