background: regular aerobic exercise improves the background: regular aerobic exercise improves the inflammatory status in different lung diseases. however, the effects of long-term aerobic exercise on the lung response have not been investigated. the present study evaluated the effect of aerobic exercise on the lung inflammatory. m aterials and methods: 12 adult male wistar rats were divided t...

Object: Hypoxia occurs when oxygen tension drops below normal limits, and malignant tumors often experience hypoxia, which activates the expression of genes through oxygen-sensitive transcription factors, including the hypoxiainducible factor (HIF) and the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB). NF-κB pathway represents an attractive therapeutic target in both cancer cells and ischemic cells, which involves...

NF-κB transcription factors are the key regulators of innate and adaptive immune responses, inflammation, and cell survival [1]. Considerable evidences indicate that NF-κB plays important roles in carcinogenesis, cancer progression, metastasis and drug resistance, and therefore NF-κB has been regarded as one of the most important targets for cancer therapy [2]. However, the application of inhib...

Abstract Background Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains a fatal gastrointestinal disorder in neonates and has very limited therapeutic options. Sialylated human milk oligosaccharides (SHMOs) improve pathological changes experimental NEC models. The objectives of this study were to investigate the involvement NLRP3 inflammasome pathology explore effects SHMOs on toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/n...

objective(s): this study aims to determine the effects of ozone therapy on restoring impaired nrf2 activation to ameliorate chronic tubulointerstitial injury in rats with adenine-induced ckd. materials and methods: sprague–dawley rats were fed with 0.75% adenine-containing diet to induce ckd and chronic tubulointerstitial injury. ozone therapy was administered by rectal insufflation. after 4 we...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Unregulated activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease. In this study, we investigated the clinical characteristics and disease outcome of Crohn's disease patients with varying levels of the NF-κB activation. METHODS Crohn's disease patients who underwent surgical bowel resection were divided into two groups, based on t...

introduction: evidence suggests that neuronal apoptosis in neurodegenerative diseases is correlated with inflammatory reactions. the beneficial or detrimental role of apoptosis in neuroinflammation is unclear. elucidating this question may be helpful in management of neurodegenerative diseases. since tnf-α is able to induce apoptosis as well as increased viability of the cells by activation of ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate changes of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) during radioiodine 131 ((131)I) therapy and whether NF-κB inhibition could enhance (131)I-induced apoptosis in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) cells in a synergistic manner. METHODS Three human DTC cell lines were used. NF-κB inhibition was achieved by using a NF-κB inhibitor (Bay 11-7082) or by p65 siRNA transfection. Methyl...

Hücrenin hayatta kalmasıyla ilgili hücre içi yollar, gelişim ve nörodejeneratif bozukluklar sırasında nöronal fizyolojiyi düzenler. Bu süreçlerde önemli bir rolle ortaya çıkan yollardan biri Nüklear Faktör-κB (NF-κB) sinyal yolağıdır. yolağın aktivitesi, NF-κB transkripsiyon faktörlerinin nüklear translokasyonuna anti-apoptotik gen ekspresyonunun düzenlenmesine yol açar. Farklı uyaranlar, farkl...

Stimulation with diverse agents activates the NF-κB (nuclear factor κB) transcription factor, affecting inflammatory and immune responses, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and tumourigenesis. Determining how NF-κB elicits such distinct responses is essential to understanding NF-κB function in diseased tissues. Recent developments illustrating that post-translational modification of NF-...
