Activation of the inflammatory transcription factor nuclear factor interleukin-6 during inflammatory and psychological stress in the brain [PDF]
Abstract Background The transcription factor nuclear factor interleukin 6 (NF-IL6) is known to be activated by various inflammatory stimuli in the brain. Interestingly, we recently detected NF-IL6-activation within the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-axis of rats after systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-injection.

Ischemia and reperfusion injury in kidney transplantation : relevant mechanisms in injury and repair [PDF]
Ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) is a complex pathophysiological phenomenon, inevitable in kidney transplantation and one of the most important mechanisms for non- or delayed function immediately after transplantation.

Activation of interleukin-6 gene expression through the NF-kappa B transcription factor. [PDF]
The promoter region of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene has a putative NF-kappa B-binding site. We found that a fragment of the IL-6 promoter containing the site specifically binds highly purified NF-kappa B protein and the NF-kappa B protein in nuclear extracts of phorbol ester-induced Jurkat cells.

The Transcriptional Activator Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 6 Regulates Liver Gene Expression [PDF]
The hepatocyte nuclear factor 3(alpha) (HNF-3(alpha)), -3(beta), and -3(gamma) proteins share homology in the winged-helix/fork head DNA binding domain and mediate hepatocyte-enriched transcription of numerous genes whose expression is necessary for organ function. In this work, we identify a liver-enriched transcription factor, HNF-6, which recognizes

Background: As a member of the Krüppel-like factor (KLFs) family, Krüppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) plays a critical role in regulating key cellular functions. Presently, scholars have proved the important role of KLF6 in the tumorigenesis of certain cancers through a large number of experiments.

Pre-pregnancy maternal obesity associates with endoplasmic reticulum stress in human umbilical vein endothelium [PDF]
Obesity associates with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced endothelial dysfunction. Pregnant women with pre-pregnancy maternal obesity (PGMO) may transfer this potential risk to their offspring; however, whether ER stress occurs and associates

The Transcriptional Activator Krüppel-like Factor-6 Is Required for CNS Myelination
Growth factors of the gp130 family promote oligodendrocyte differentiation, and viability, and myelination, but their mechanisms of action are incompletely understood. Here, we show that these effects are coordinated, in part, by the transcriptional activator Krüppel-like factor-6 (Klf6).
