The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) acts as an anti-inflammatory factor. To a large extent, this activity is exerted by the interference of pro-inflammatory nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) activity. In their respective inactive forms, both GR and NF-kappa B reside in the cytoplasm and translocate to the nucleus on relevant stimulation. Previously, p65, a component of the NF-kappa B complex, an...

The nuclear factor (NF)-kappa B transcription factor system is composed of at least four inducible nucleoprotein adducts termed p50, p55 (NF-kappa B p50), p75 (NF-kappa B p65), and p85 (c-Rel). These proteins are expressed in the nuclei of activated T cells in a distinctly biphasic fashion, with p55 and p75 induction occurring within minutes whereas the induction of p50 and p85 occurs after sev...

Insulin-mediated cell motility as well as the role of transcription factors in insulin-activated intracellular signal events have not been extensively studied. In this report we have examined whether insulin could mediate haptotactic migration of cultured human epidermal keratinocytes through activation of transcription factor NF-kappa B. Insulin caused a dose-dependent stimulation of keratinoc...
