Nuclear 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 کاملBlocking Nuclear Factor-Kappa B Protects against Diet-Induced Hepatic Steatosis and Insulin Resistance in Mice.
Inflammation critically contributes to the development of various metabolic diseases. However, the effects of inhibiting inflammatory signaling on hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance, as well as the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. In the current study, male C57BL/6J mice were fed a chow diet or high-fat diet (HFD) for 8 weeks. HFD-fed mice were respectively treated with p65 siRNA, no...
متن کاملThe role of nuclear factor-kappa-B p50 subunit in the development of endometriosis.
p50 is a member of the NF-kappaB family known to be involved in endometriosis. To gain insight into the roles of p50 in the development of endometriosis, we cross-transplanted endometrial fragments from p50 knockout mice to wild-type mice and vice versa, and also autotransplanted the fragments within the knockout and wild-type mice, inducing endometriosis. We then evaluated the size of the endo...
متن کاملSalicylates inhibit flavivirus replication independently of blocking nuclear factor kappa B activation.
Flaviviruses comprise a positive-sense RNA genome that replicates exclusively in the cytoplasm of infected cells. Whether flaviviruses require an activated nuclear factor(s) to complete their life cycle and trigger apoptosis in infected cells remains elusive. Flavivirus infections quickly activate nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB), and salicylates have been shown to inhibit NF-kappaB activatio...
متن کاملModulation of Lipopolysaccharide Stimulated Nuclear Factor kappa B Mediated iNOS/NO Production by Bromelain in Rat Primary Microglial Cells
Background: Microglial cells act as the sentinel of the central nervous system .They are involved in neuroprotection but are highly implicated in neurodegeneration of the aging brain. When over-activated, microglia release pro-inflammatory factors, such as nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines, which are critical in eliciting neuroinflammatory responses associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Thi...
