Semaphorin 7A interacts with nuclear factor NF-kappa-B p105 via integrin β1 and mediates inflammation [PDF]
Semaphorin7a (SEMA7A), a membrane-anchored member of the semaphorin protein family, could be involved in a diverse range of immune responses via its receptor integrin β1.

TNFSF14/LIGHT, a Non-Canonical NF-κB Stimulus, Induces the HIF Pathway [PDF]
Non-canonical NF-κB signalling plays important roles in the development and function of the immune system but it also is deregulated in a number of inflammatory diseases.

The NF-kappa B inhibitor, celastrol, could enhance the anti-cancer effect of gambogic acid on oral squamous cell carcinoma [PDF]
Background Gambogic acid (GA) is a major active ingredient of gamboge, a widely used traditional Chinese medicine that has been reported to be a potent cytotoxic agent against some malignant tumors.

Asterias rubens: Evidence of NF-kappa B genes. [PDF]
In the present paper we show a survey of the Asterias rubens sea star genome for genes associated with NF-kappa-B proteins implied in the immune response. The NF-kappa B gene, into 2 subunits, was found in this invertebrate.

Broussonetia papyrifera Root Bark Extract Exhibits Anti-inflammatory Effects on Adipose Tissue and Improves Insulin Sensitivity Potentially Via AMPK Activation [PDF]
The chronic low-grade inflammation in adipose tissue plays a causal role in obesity-induced insulin resistance and its associated pathophysiological consequences. In this study, we investigated the effects of extracts of Broussonetia papyrifera root bark

How the venom from the ectoparasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis exhibits anti-inflammatory properties on mammalian cell lines [PDF]
With more than 150,000 species, parasitoids are a large group of hymenopteran insects that inject venom into and then lay their eggs in or on other insects, eventually killing the hosts.

Epicatechin induces NF-kappa B, activator rotein-1 (AP-1) and nuclear transcription factor erythroid 2p45-related factor-2 (Nrf2) via phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) and extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) signalling in HepG2 cells [PDF]
The dietary flavonoid epicatechin has been reported to exhibit a wide range of biological activities. The objective of the present study was to investigate the time-dependent regulation by epicatechin on the activity of the main transcription factors (NF-

Subunit-Specific Role of NF-κB in Cancer
The transcription factor NF-κB is a key player in inflammation, cancer development, and progression. NF-κB stimulates cell proliferation, prevents apoptosis, and could promote tumor angiogenesis as well as metastasis.

The Effect of Open Reading Frame 3 of Hepatitis E virus on Cellular NF-κB Activity [PDF]
NF-B (Nuclear Factor Kappa B) is a crucial transcription factor that is essential for host survival during pathogen infection in animal and human. Therefore, it has been a main goal for numerous pathogens to modify cellular NF-κB activity to create

Sequential induction of NF-κB/Rel family proteins during B-cell terminal differentiation [PDF]
The NF-kappa B/Rel family of at least five transcription factor polypeptides is thought to function both as a developmental regulator in B cells and as a rapid response system in all cells. To examine this notion in more detail, we determined the protein
