Blocking of interferon regulatory factor 1 reduces tumor necrosis factor α–induced interleukin‐18 bioactivity in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts by induction of interleukin‐18 binding protein a: Role of the nuclear interferon regulatory factor 1–NF‐κB–c‐jun complex [PDF]
, 2011 Objective To examine the role of interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF‐1) in tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα)–induced interleukin‐18 binding protein a (IL‐18BPa) expression in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASFs). Methods TNFα‐induced IRF‐1

Signalling of Arabidopsis thaliana response to Pieris brassicae eggs shares similarities with PAMP-triggered immunity [PDF]
, 2017 Insect egg deposition activates plant defence, but very little is known about signalling events that control this response. In Arabidopsis thaliana, oviposition by Pieris brassicae triggers salicylic acid (SA) accumulation and induces the expression of ...

15-Lipoxygenase-1 Is Involved in the Effects of Atorvastatin on Endothelial Dysfunction
Mediators of Inflammation, 2016 Statins exert pleiotropic effects on endothelial cells in addition to lowering cholesterol. 15-Lipoxygenase-1 (ALOX15) has been implicated in vascular inflammation and disease. The relationship between atorvastatin and ALOX15 was investigated using a rat
