The effects of labour and of interleukin 1 beta upon the expression of nuclear factor kappa B related proteins in human amnion.
Human labour is associated with persistently increased nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) activity in amnion. In this study we have shown that this involves only the p65 and p50 NF-kB subunits and is associated with an increase in the expression of p65 (P < 0.05), and of the NF-kB binding proteins IkBa, IkBb-1 and IkBb-2 (P < 0.05). Interleukin-1b stimulation leads to rapid degradation and resynthe...
متن کاملExpression Pattern of Alternative Splicing Variants of Human Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (hTERT) in Cancer Cell Lines Was not Associated with the Origin of the Cells
Telomerase and systems controlling their activity have been of great attention. There are controversies regarding the role of the alternative splicing forms of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), the catalytic subunit of telomerase. Therefore, the correlation between telomerase enzyme activity, the abundance of alternatively spliced variants of hTERT and doubling time of a seri...
متن کاملInduction of Heme Oxygenase -1 By Lipocalin 2 Mediated By Nf-Kb Transcription Factor
Purpose: Effect of lipocalin 2 on the expression of heme oxygenase I , II and NF-kB transcription factor was the purpose of this survey. Materials and Methods: Lcn2 was cloned to pcDNA3.1 plasmid by using genetic engineering method. The recombinant vector was transfected to CHO and HEK293T to establish stable cell expressing lipocalin 2. The presence of lipocalin 2 gene in these cells was confi...
متن کاملColony Forming Unit Endothelial Cells Do not Exhibit Telomerase Alternative Splicing Variants and Activity
Introduction: Endothelial progenitor colony forming unit-endothelial cells (CFU-EC) were first believed to be the progenitors of endothelial cells, named endothelial progenitor cells. Further studies revealed that they are monocytes regulating vasculogenesis. The main hindrance of these cells for therapeutic purposes is their low frequency and limited replicative potentials. This study was unde...
متن کاملDifferential IkB Kinase Activation and IkBa Degradation by Interleukin-1b and Tumor Necrosis Factor-a in Human U937 Monocytic Cells EVIDENCE FOR ADDITIONAL REGULATORY STEPS IN kB-DEPENDENT TRANSCRIPTION*
The IkB kinases (IKKs) lie downstream of the NF-kBinducing kinase (NIK) and activate NF-kB by phosphorylation of IkBa. This leads to IkBa degradation and release of NF-kB. In U937 monocytic cells, interleukin (IL)-1b (1 ng/ml) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a; 10 ng/ml) induced kB-dependent transcription equally. However, IKK activity was strongly induced by TNF-a but not by IL-1b. This was co...
