Computational Models of the NF-KB Signalling Pathway
In this review article, we discuss the current state of computational modelling of the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signalling pathway. NF-κB is a transcription factor, which is ubiquitous within cells and controls a number of immune responses, including inflammation and apoptosis. The NF-κB signalling pathway is tightly regulated, commencing with activation at the cell membrane, signal trans...
متن کاملSpiky oscillations in NF-kB signalling
The NF-κB signalling system is involved in a variety of cellular processes including immune response, inflammation, and apoptosis. Recent experiments have found oscillations in the nuclearcytoplasmic translocation of the NF-κB transcription factor [Hoffmann et al. (2002) Science 298, 1241; Nelson et al. (2004) Science 306, 704.] How the cell uses the oscillations to differentiate input conditio...
متن کاملThe protective effect of nano-curcumin in experimental model of acute pancreatitis: The involvement of TLR4/NF-kB pathway
Objective(s): The objective of the present study is to explore whether Nanocurcumin improves pancreatic inflammation through the inhibition of the TLR4/NFkB signaling pathway in cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis. Methods: Acute pancreatitis was induced by five intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of cerulein (50 μg/kg) with 1h intervals. Vehicle and nanocurcumin (100mg/kg/day) were given to the a...
متن کاملSensitivity analysis of parameters controlling oscillatory signalling in the NF-kB pathway: the roles of IKK and IkBa
Analysis of cellular signalling interactions is expected to create an enormous informatics challenge, perhaps even greater than that of analysing the genome. A key step in the evolution towards a more quantitative understanding of signalling is to specify explicitly the kinetics of all chemical reaction steps in a pathway. We have reconstructed a model of the nuclear factor, kB (NF-kB) signalli...
متن کاملComputational approach for modeling and testing NF-kB binding sites
Motifs of Transcription Factor Binding Sites (TFBS) in DNA are commonly represented by the Position Weight Matrices (PWM). Recently Alamanova et al. devised a method for creating PWMs of transcription factors using 3D structure-based computation of protein-DNA free binding energies. We modify Alamanova et al. approach using volume-fraction corrected DFIREbased energy function (DDNA3) as a model...
