... was decreased in UC patients and was similar in IBS patients. MiR-15 levels were higher in UC patients than in IBS patients or healthy subjects. A2aAR was the target of miR-15 in HT-29 cells, which downregulated A2aAR mRNA levels. MiR-15 mimics induced nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 and upregulated...

.... Additionally, the increases were significantly attenuated by treatment with morin. Furthermore, IL-1β-induced NF-κB activation was suppressed by morin. In addition, the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 were increased by morin and knockdown of Nrf2 could prevent the anti-inflammatory effects of morin. Conclusion...

In this study, we have investigated the effect of β-adrenergic...

... dedifferentiating in vitro or exposed to IL-1β, nevertheless, NCOA3 appeared dispensable for preventing OA initiation, since NCOA3 loss did not trigger OA in young mice. Instead, NCOA3 loss promoted posttraumatic OA progression, and in parallel, enhanced NF-κB activation. Finally, the promoted posttraumatic OA...

...: The effect of apelin-13 on LPS-induced structural damage was determined by H&E staining and by the wet/dry weight ratio. The related inflammatory factors in BALF were examined by ELISA. The apoptotic pathway and the NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammasome pathways were evaluated by using Western blotting...

... for an in vivo analysis. The relationship between OPN and bone destruction during periapical periodontitis was analyzed. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts were cultured in vitro and treated with lipopolysaccharide. An inhibitor of NF-κB was used to pretreat the transfected cells. Results: OPN increased osteoclast...

...Chun-Yan He; Li-Peng Jiang; Cheng-Yue Wang; Yue Zhang Background/Aims: The roles of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) in peri-implantitis are unclear. Here, we used a canine model of peri-implantitis to explore the effects of inhibiting NF-κB with pyrrolidine...

... observed in CRC patients and identified as a target for miR-214. Knockdown of TFAM by miR-214 mimics significantly inhibited the proliferation of CRC cell lines. Also, down-regulation of TFAM inhibited nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) nuclear translocation...

... study showed that microRNA-138 was increased in macrophages stimulated with LPS. Additionally, the NF-κB and AKT pathways were both activated. The pre-treatment of microRNA-138 inhibitor decreased inflammatory factors, downregulated the NF-κB pathway, activated the AKT pathway and protected against...

...Yanjing Li; Hong Sui; Cailing Jiang; Shumin Li; Yu Han; Peng Huang; Xiaoxue Du; Jingwen Du; Yuxian Bai Background/Aims: Although photodynamic therapy (PDT) can relieve esophageal obstruction and prolong survival time of patients with esophageal cancer, it can induce nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB...

... damage-associated γ-H2A.X, and initiated the SASP in CD40-positive NSCLC cells. NF-κB signaling was activated by CD40L-M overexpression in these cells. Knockdown of NF-κB partially overcame senescence and failed to induce SASP. Furthermore, increased p53 and p21 protein levels induced by CD40L-M were...

..., IL-6, p65 and caspase-1. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that C/EBPβ acts upstream of NF-κB p65 subunit in ox-LDL-induced IL-1β production in macrophages and may regulate IL-1β maturation by promoting caspase-1. C/EBPβ may be a promising candidate for the prevention and treatment...

... target signaling, such as NF-κB, caspases, and MMPs, were further studied via qRT-PCR and western blot. Thereafter, a zebrafish model was used to assess the toxicity of LC. Finally, a zebrafish transplantation tumor model of EC was grown and treated with LC. Tumors were monitored and harvested to study...

... of nuclear factor-κB [NF-κB]), is a direct target of miR-218. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that miR-218 regulates osteoclastogenic differentiation negatively by repressing NF-κB signaling by targeting TNFR1, suggesting that targeting miR-218 may be a therapeutic approach in postmenopausal osteoporosis...

... levels, cleavage of apoptotic proteins, and activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Cytokine array was used to screen inflammatory cytokines, and target cytokines’ transcriptional expression and serum levels were examined by real-time PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. Results...

... was estimated by echocardiographic and hemodynamic measurements, and by pathological and molecular analysis. Results: Eight weeks after aortic banding (AB), NLRP1 deficiency significantly inhibited aortic banding–induced cardiac hypertrophy, inflammation, and fibrosis. Activation of MAPK, NF-κB, and TGF-β/Smad...

... by TTC staining and Garcia score was used to evaluate neurologic recovery. The cytokines were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and protein expression of microglia phenotype and NF-κB were measured using western blot. In the in vitro study, the expressions of microglia M1/M2 phenotype were...

..., evaluations were performed to evaluate the following: arterial blood gas levels, lung wet/dry weight ratio, the expression of inflammatory cytokines, and the effect of NF-κB signaling pathway. Results: The survival rate of rats at 72 h post-WSI in the WSI-3 min, WSI-5 min, and WSI-7 min groups was 83.33%, 75...
