Background and objectives: Nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) inhibition results in an increase in apoptosis. It has been demonstrated that NF-κB subunit p65 phosphorylation at the IκB kinase phosphorylation site serine 536 (Ser536) is essential for the NF-κB nuclear translocation and activation. Therefore, NF-κB can be downregulated by suppressing its phosph...

Objectives: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) is a pathogenic factor for interstitial fibrosis (RIF). Interleukin-33 (IL-33) related to the occurrence and development RIF, but underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we investigated whether IL-33 mediates EMT RTECs by activating NF-κB/Twist1 signalling pathway. Methods: In vivo, RIF animal mode...

the inhibition of the inducible nitric oxide synthase (inos), cyclooxygenase 2 (cox-2) and nuclear factor-κb (nf-κb) production are research targets of attract in the field of anti-inflammatory drug development. therefore, this study was designed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of novel thiazolidinone derivatives using a cellular model of lipopolysaccharide (lps)-stimulated murine ...

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study is to investigate the effects radiofrequency radiation (RFR) on apoptosis, proliferation, stress response, and inflammation markers in colorectal cancer cells. Methods We tested intermittent exposure RFR at different frequencies two cell lines; HCT-116 DLD-1. Protein levels were subsequently analyzed by ELISA. Results led a decrease P53, p-P53, p-P38, p...

Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is important in inflammatory skin diseases, including contact dermatitis (Th1 inflammation), atopic (Th2 and psoriasis (Th17 inflammation). In fact, molecularly targeted drugs against tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which both upstream downstream of NF-κB have been demonstrated to be effective diseases such as psoriasis. The linear ubiquitination by ubiquitin chain assemb...

objective(s): the objective of this study was to investigate the hepatoprotective effect of licochalcone b (lcb) in a mice model of carbon tetrachloride (ccl4)-induced liver toxicity. materials and methods: hepatotoxicity was induced in mice by a single subcutaneous injection (sc) of ccl4. the lcb was administered orally once a day for seven days (po) as pretreatment at three doses of 1, 5, and...

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...
