NF-kappa B activation correlates with disease phenotype in Crohn's disease. [PDF]
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

Sensitivity analysis and experimental design of a stiff signal transduction pathway model [PDF]
Sensitivity analysis is normally used to analyze how sensitive a system is with respect to the change of parameters or initial conditions and is perhaps best known in systems biology via the formalism of metabolic control analysis [1, 2].

NF-κB signaling regulates myelination in the CNS [PDF]
Besides myelination of neuronal axons by oligodendrocytes to facilitate propagation of action potentials, oligodendrocytes also support axon survival and function. A key transcription factor involved in these processes is nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), a hetero or homodimer of the Rel family of proteins, including p65, c-Rel, RelB, p50, and p52.

TLR7, TLR9, MyD88, and NF-κB role on platelet aggregation in Yucatecan patients with type 2 diabetes
Objective: To analyze the expression of TLR7, TLR9, and signaling proteins MyD88 and NF-κB, and their relationship with platelet aggregation in Yucatecan patients with type 2 diabetes. Material and methods: Platelet aggregation was determined by light transmission and protein expression by flow cytometry in 31 patients and 29 controls from Yucatan ...

NF-κB and Human Cancer: What Have We Learned over the Past 35 Years?
Transcription factor NF-κB has been extensively studied for its varied roles in cancer development since its initial characterization as a potent retroviral oncogene. It is now clear that NF-κB also plays a major role in a large variety of human cancers,

Noncoding RNAs regulate NF-κB signaling to modulate blood vessel inflammation [PDF]
Cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis, which include heart attack and stroke, occur several decades after initiation of the disease and become more severe with age.

Understanding NF‐κB signaling via mathematical modeling
Mammalian inflammatory signaling, for which NF‐κB is a principal transcription factor, is an exquisite example of how cellular signaling pathways can be regulated to produce different yet specific responses to different inflammatory insults. Mathematical

Nuclear factor-kappa B inhibition can enhance apoptosis of differentiated thyroid cancer cells induced by 131I. [PDF]
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.

An Intact Canonical NF-κB Pathway Is Required for Inflammatory Gene Expression in Response to Hypoxia [PDF]
Abstract Hypoxia is a feature of the microenvironment in a number of chronic inflammatory conditions due to increased metabolic activity and disrupted perfusion at the inflamed site. Hypoxia contributes to inflammation through the regulation of gene expression via key oxygen-sensitive transcriptional regulators including the hypoxia ...
