73 8986132 Ebselen and cytokine-induced nitric oxide synthase expression in insulin-producing cells.
74 8986132 Interleukin-1 (IL-1) may be a mediator of beta-cell damage in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
75 8986132 The IL-1 mechanism of action on insulin-producing cells probably includes activation of the transcription nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B), increased transcription of the inducible form of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and the subsequent production of nitric oxide (NO).
76 8986132 However, ebselen failed to prevent the increase in nitrite production and the decrease in glucose oxidation and insulin release by rat islets exposed to IL-1 beta for 24 hr.
77 8986132 Ebselen prevented the increase in nitrite production by human islets exposed for 14 hr to a combination of cytokines (IL-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interferon-gamma).
78 8986132 In RIN cells, ebselen counteracted both the expression of iNOS mRNA and the increase in nitrite production induced by 6 hr exposure to IL-beta but failed to block IL-1 beta-induced iNOS expression following 24 hr exposure to the cytokine.
79 8986132 Moreover, ebselen did not prevent IL-1 beta-induced NF-kappa B activation.

97 9076587 By contrast, the levels of IL-11 in the culture supernatants were not altered by AGEs, and the other bone resorption factors IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta were undetectable (< 1.0 pg/ml) either without or with the treatment of AGEs.
98 9076587 Electrophoretic mobility-shift assays revealed that the transcription nuclear factor-kappa B, which is critical for the inducible expression of IL-6, was activated in the nuclear extracts from mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells treated with AGEs.
99 9218757 Protection of NIT-1 pancreatic beta-cells from immune attack by inhibition of NF-kappaB.
100 9218757 We have recently observed that inhibition of NF-kappaB in NIT-1 insulinoma cells protects them from tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-induced cell death in vitro, possibly because expression of interleukin-1 (IL-1)beta-converting enzyme (ICE), a member of the cysteine protease pathway of cell death, is decreased.
101 9218757 In the current study we have examined the effect of the same inhibitor of NF-kappaB on class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) protein expression in NIT-1 cells and shown that inhibition of NF-kappaB activation decreased basal and TNF-induced class I MHC levels.
102 9218757 Although inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) may also be inhibited by inhibition of NF-kappaB, this could not be demonstrated in NIT-1/delta sp cells because wild-type NIT-1 cells express very little iNOS.
103 9218757 When NIT-1/delta sp12 cells, expressing high levels of the NF-kappaB inhibitor, are transplanted into immunodeficient NOD/scid mice, tumorigenesis and death by hypoglycemia proceed similarly to untransfected NIT-1 cells.
104 9218757 In conclusion, inhibition of NF-kappaB is likely to suppress several different pathways of immune-mediated cell death in beta-cells and protects NIT-1 cells from immune attack by diabetogenic T cells in vivo.

135 9235445 Inhibition of inflammatory response is primarily mediated via the glucocorticoid receptor and the two transcription factors, AP-1 and NF kappa B, which are of crucial importance for the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and other genes involved in the inflammatory process.
136 9287050 Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) revealed that AGE albumin-mediated NF-kappaB activation was also reduced in a time- and dose-dependent manner as long as alpha-lipoic acid was added at least 30 min before AGE albumin stimulation.
137 9287050 As a consequence, alpha-lipoic acid reduced AGE albumin-induced NF-kappaB mediated transcription and expression of endothelial genes relevant in diabetes, such as tissue factor and endothelin-1.

140 9312188 Thiazolidinediones block tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced inhibition of insulin signaling.
141 9312188 TNF-alpha has been shown to be an important mediator of insulin resistance linked to obesity.
142 9312188 Here we show that TZDs have powerful effects on the ability of TNF-alpha to alter the most proximal steps of insulin signaling, including tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and its major substrate, IRS-1, and activation of PI3-kinase.
143 9312188 Troglitazone or pioglitazone essentially eliminate the reduction in tyrosine phosphorylation of IR and IRS-1 caused by TNF-alpha in fat cells, even at relatively high doses (25 ng/ml).
144 9312188 The TZDs do not inhibit all TNF-alpha signaling in that the transcription factor NF-kB is still induced well.
145 9312188 These data indicate that TZDs can specifically block certain actions of TNF-alpha related to insulin resistance, suggesting that this block may contribute to their antidiabetic actions.
146 9352601 A different mode of action is likely to account for the immunosuppressive effects of deoxyspergualin, which may interfere with intracellular chaperoning by the heat shock protein HSP70 and the activation of transcription factor NF-kappa B.
147 9440807 Thus, iodide decreases the formation of Mod-1, an enhancer A complex involving the p50 subunit of NF-kappa B and a c-fos family member, fra-2, which was previously shown to be important in the suppression of class I levels by hydrocortisone.
148 9440807 Unlike hydrocortisone, iodide also increases the formation of a complex with enhancer A, which we show, in antibody shift experiments, is a heterodimer of the p50 and p65 subunits of NF-kappa B.
149 9440807 Second, the effect of iodide on class I RNA levels and on enhancer A complex formation with Mod-1 and the p50/p65 heterodimer is inhibited by agents that block the inositol phosphate, Ca++, phospholipase A2, arachidonate signal transduction pathway: acetylsalicylate, indomethacin, and 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid.
150 9440807 Interestingly, iodide can also decrease formation of the Mod-1 complex and increase formation of the complex with the p50/p65 subunits of NF-kappa B when the NF-kappa B enhancer sequence from the Ig kappa light chain, rather than enhancer A, is used as probe; and both actions mimic the action of a phorbol ester.

159 9465095 Basal expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and nuclear factor-interleukin 6 are dominant and coordinately regulated by interleukin 1 in the pancreatic islet.
160 9465095 The enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 is constitutive whereas COX-2 is regulated in virtually all tissues.
161 9465095 To assess whether this dogma holds true in the pancreatic islet, we examined basal and interleukin (IL)-1-regulated expression of COX-2 in HIT-T15 cells, Syrian hamster and human islets, and other Syrian hamster tissues.
162 9465095 We found that COX-2, and not COX-1, gene expression is dominant in pancreatic islet tissue under both basal and IL-1-stimulated conditions.
163 9465095 Basal and IL-1-stimulated prostaglandin E2 synthesis were blocked by a specific COX-2 inhibitor.
164 9465095 IL-1 stimulation had a biphasic effect on COX-2 mRNA levels with an initial mild increase at 2-4 hr followed by a more dramatic decrease below basal level by 24 hr.
165 9465095 The IL-1-induced increase in COX-2 mRNA levels was accompanied by a parallel increase in NF-kappaB binding to COX-2 promoter elements.
166 9465095 The subsequent decrease in COX-2 mRNA levels was accompanied by a parallel decrease in NF-IL-6 binding activity and COX-2 promoter activity.
167 9465095 Specific mutation of the NF-IL-6 binding motif within the COX-2 promoter reduced basal promoter activity by 50% whereas mutation of the NF-kappaB motif had no effect.
168 9465095 These studies provide documentation of NF-IL-6 in the pancreatic islet and that COX-2, rather than COX-1, is dominantly expressed.
169 9465095 They suggest coordinate regulation by IL-1 of COX-2 mRNA, NF-kappaB, and NF-IL-6 and raise the issue of whether intrinsically high levels of COX-2 gene expression predisposes the normal islet for microenvironmentally induced overproduction of islet prostaglandin E2.

192 9655393 Activation of human aortic smooth-muscle cells is inhibited by PPARalpha but not by PPARgamma activators.
193 9655393 Whereas PPARgamma promotes lipid storage by regulating adipocyte differentiation, PPARalpha stimulates the beta-oxidative degradation of fatty acids.
194 9655393 In these smooth-muscle cells, we find that PPARalpha ligands, and not PPARgamma ligands, inhibit interleukin-1-induced production of interleukin-6 and prostaglandin and expression of cyclooxygenase-2.
195 9655393 This inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 induction occurs transcriptionally as a result of PPARalpha repression of NF-kappaB signalling.
196 9655393 In hyperlipidaemic patients, fenofibrate treatment decreases the plasma concentrations of interleukin-6, fibrinogen and C-reactive protein.
197 9703334 To examine abnormal activities in transcription factors as a possible cause of this altered gene regulation, we studied the activity of two redox-sensitive transcription factors--nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and activating protein-1 (AP-1)--and the change in the mRNA content of heme oxygenase-1, which is regulated by these transcription factors in the cardiac tissues of rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes.
198 9703334 Increased activity of NF-kappaB and AP-1 but not nuclear transcription-activating factor, as determined by an electrophoretic mobility shift assay, was found in the hearts of 4-week diabetic rats.
199 9703334 Insulin treatment also consistently prevented changes in the mRNA content of heme oxygenase-1.

267 9814671 Since it has been reported that such factors involved in coagulation/fibrinolysis as tissue factor, tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), thrombin receptor and urokinase receptor are also localized in the caveolae, this membrane structure may act as a special component to regulate coagulation/fibrinolysis on the endothelial membrane surface.
268 9814671 Next we demonstrate the signaling pathway of the thrombin receptor.
269 9814671 We have identified that the signal from the thrombin receptor activates NF-kappaB through the activation of protein C kinase, tyrosine kinase and MAP kinase, and results in proliferation of the cells.
270 9820807 Treating 3T3-L1 adipocytes with TNF-alpha decreases Na+/myo-inositol co-transporter (SMIT) mRNA levels and myo-inositol accumulation in a concentration-and time-dependent manner.
271 9820807 Studies with actinomycin D suggest that RNA synthesis is required for the TNF-alpha-induced effect on SMIT mRNA levels.
272 9820807 In contrast with the effect of TNF-alpha, hyperosmolarity increases SMIT mRNA levels and myo-inositol accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
273 9820807 In 3T3-L1 adipocytes, both TNF-alpha and hyperosmolarity increase mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase pathway activity; however, with the possible exception of c-Jun N-terminal kinase, this pathway does not seem to regulate SMIT mRNA levels or myo-inositol accumulation.
274 9820807 TNF-alpha activates nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes but, unlike the effect of TNF-alpha on cultured endothelial cells, NF-kappaB does not seem to contribute to the regulation by TNF-alpha of SMIT gene expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
275 9820807 Therefore other signal transduction pathways must be considered in the regulation by TNF-alpha of SMIT mRNA levels and activity.
276 9820807 Thus TNF-alpha and hyperosmolarity have opposing effects on SMIT mRNA levels and activity in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
277 9820807 Because myo-inositol in the form of phosphoinositides is an important component of membranes and signal transduction pathways, the regulation of myo-inositol metabolism by TNF-alpha might represent another mechanism by which TNF-alpha regulates adipocyte function.
278 10051633 In addition to causing abnormal MHC expression, the ds nucleic acids increase the expression of genes necessary for antigen processing and presentation: proteasome proteins (e.g., LMP2), transporters of antigen peptides; invariant chain, HLA-DM, and the costimulatory molecule B7.1.

346 10331420 Vascular endothelial growth factor activates nuclear factor-kappaB and induces monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in bovine retinal endothelial cells.
347 10331420 In the present study, we investigated whether expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), a chemokine that has been proposed to recruit leukocytes to sites of inflammation, neovascularization, and vascular injury, can be modulated by VEGF in bovine retinal microvascular endothelial cells (BRECs).
348 10331420 VEGF induced expression of MCP-1 mRNA in BRECs in a concentration- and time-dependent manner.
349 10331420 Secretion of MCP-1 into the culture medium of BRECs treated with VEGF for 24 h was increased by 2.2-fold compared with the control.
350 10331420 Inhibitors of transcription factor NF-kappaB, N-alpha-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethylketone (TLCK) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC), as well as an inhibitor of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway, PD 98059, attenuated VEGF-induced expression of MCP-1 mRNA.
351 10331420 Using electrophoretic gel mobility shift assay, we observed that VEGF stimulated binding activity of NF-kappaB.
352 10331420 VEGF-induced NF-kappaB activation was inhibited by TLCK and NAC, but not by PD 98059.
353 10331420 Binding activity of transcription factor AP-1, which is suggested to regulate induction of the MCP-1 gene together with NF-kappaB, was also stimulated by VEGF.
354 10331420 PD 98059 inhibited the VEGF-induced activation of AP-1.

358 10385418 Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) is a potential mediator of beta cell destruction in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
359 10385418 Primary beta cells express low levels of the type I TNF receptor (TNFR1) but do not express the type 2 receptor (TNFR2).
360 10385418 Evidence for TNFR1 expression on beta cells came from flow cytometry using monoclonal antibodies specific for TNFR1 and TNFR2 and from RT-PCR of beta cell RNA.
361 10385418 TNF induced NF-kappaB activation in both primary islet cells and NIT-1 cells.
362 10385418 Apoptosis in response to TNFalpha was observed in NIT-1 cells whereas apoptosis of primary beta cells required both TNFalpha and interferon-gamma (IFNgamma).
363 10385418 Apoptosis could be prevented in NIT-1 cells by expression of dominant negative Fas-associating protein with death domain (dnFADD).
364 10385418 Apoptosis in NIT-1 cells was increased by coincubation with IFNgamma, which also increased caspase 1 expression.
365 10385418 Caspase activation is the dominant pathway of TNF-induced cell death in NIT-1 cells and may be an important mechanism of beta cell damage in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

393 10547273 IL-1beta induces serine protease inhibitor 3 (SPI-3) gene expression in rat pancreatic beta-cells.
394 10547273 RT-PCR analysis confirmed that SPI-3 mRNA expression in rat beta-cells is increased by IL-1 at an early stage (2 h), with maximal accumulation during 6-12 h and decline after 24 h.
395 10547273 IFN-gamma neither increased SPI-3 gene expression nor potentiated its induction by IL-1 in rat beta-cells.
396 10547273 The stimulatory effects of IL-1 on SPI-3 mRNA expression were decreased by co-incubation with an inhibitor of gene transcription (actinomycin D), an inhibitor of protein synthesis (cycloheximide) or an inhibitor of NF-kappaB activation (PDTC).
397 10547273 On the other hand, a blocker of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activity (N(G)-methyl-L-arginine) did not prevent IL-1-induced SPI-3 expression.
398 10547273 Thus, SPI-3 mRNA expression following IL-1 exposure depends on gene transcription, protein synthesis and activation of the nuclear transcription factor NF-kappaB, but it is independent of NO formation.

433 10630383 The onset of massive, intraislet B- and T-cell infiltration in Lyp/Lyp rats was preceded by Rel B+ cells in and around the islets, followed by ED1+ monocytes/macrophages.
434 10630383 Rel B+ cells were more frequent in the parafollicular cortex of pancreatic lymph nodes from Lyp/Lyp than from Lyp/+ and +/+ rats.
435 10630383 In the Lyp/Lyp thymus, we found significantly increased expression of IL-12p40 messenger RNA (mRNA; p<0.001), located in the Rel B-protein-rich corticomedullary junction.
436 10630383 The NF-KB/Rel B complex specifically transactivates genes involved in antigen presentation in dendritic cells.
437 10630383 Rel B+ cells in the islets may therefore mark the onset of autoimmune insulitis and antigen-specific activation of autoreactive T cells in the lymph nodes of diabetes prone Lyp/Lyp BB rats.

445 10825233 TNF-alpha did not affect STAT1 activation, but stimulated DNA-binding and transcriptional activity of NF-kappaB, both of which were further increased by IFN-gamma.
446 10825233 These effects of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha seem physiologically relevant, because either inhibition of STAT1 by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A or that of NF-kappaB by sulfasalazine resulted in the reduction of iNOS mRNA expression.

480 10830965 Engagement of RAGE by a ligand triggers activation of key cell signalling pathways, such as p21ras, MAP kinases, NF-kappaB and cdc42/rac, thereby reprogramming cellular properties.
481 10830965 Inhibition of the RAGE-amphoterin interaction suppressed activation of p44/p42, p38 and SAP/JNK MAP kinases; molecular effector mechanisms importantly linked to tumour proliferation, invasion and expression of matrix metalloproteinases.
482 10837498 Here, we demonstrate that chronic high glucose (CHG) causes a dramatic increase in the release of the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), at least in part through enhanced TNFalpha mRNA transcription, mediated by ROS via activation of transcription factors nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) and activating protein-1 (AP-1).
483 10837498 The following observations supported that both NF-kappaB and AP-1 mediated enhanced TNFalpha transcription by CHG: 1) A 295-base pair fragment of the proximal TNFalpha promoter containing NF-kappaB and AP-1 sites reproduced the effects of CHG on TNFalpha transcription in a luciferase reporter assay, 2) mutational analyses of both NF-kappaB and the AP-1 sites abrogated 90% of the luciferase activity, 3) gel-shift analysis using the binding sites showed activation of NF-kappaB and AP-1 in CHG nuclear extracts, and 4) Western blot analyses demonstrated elevated nuclear levels of p65 and p50 and decreased cytosolic levels of IkappaBalpha in CHG-treated monocytes.
484 10837498 That ROS acted as a key intermediate in the CHG pathway was supported by the following evidence: 1) increased superoxide levels similar to those observed with PMA or TNFalpha, 2) increased phosphorylation of stress-responsive mitogen-activated protein kinases p38 and JNK-1, 3) counteraction of the effects of CHG on TNFalpha production, the 295TNFluc reporter activity, activation of NF-kappaB, and repression of IkappaBalpha by antioxidants and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors.

487 10837498 That ROS acted as a key intermediate in the CHG pathway was supported by the following evidence: 1) increased superoxide levels similar to those observed with PMA or TNFalpha, 2) increased phosphorylation of stress-responsive mitogen-activated protein kinases p38 and JNK-1, 3) counteraction of the effects of CHG on TNFalpha production, the 295TNFluc reporter activity, activation of NF-kappaB, and repression of IkappaBalpha by antioxidants and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors.

491 10871193 To this end, we have cultured INS-1 insulinoma cells in increasing concentrations of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) + gamma-interferon (IFN-gamma), with approximate weekly iterations over an 8-week period.
492 10871193 These cells were also 78 +/- 1.2% viable after 5 days of exposure to the combination of 10 ng/ml IL-1beta and 100 U/ml IFN-gamma, whereas parental INS-1 cells treated in the same manner were only 0.3 +/- 0.03% viable.
493 10871193 The resistance to IL-1beta conferred by this procedure was stable, whereas the partial resistance to IFN-gamma was transient but reinducible by culture in the presence of cytokines.
494 10871193 Stable transfection of INS-1res cells with a plasmid containing the human insulin cDNA and expansion of the transfected colonies in the absence of cytokines produced cell lines that were on average more resistant to IL-1beta + IFN-gamma (53 +/- 11%) than similarly transfected clones derived from parental INS-1 cells (15 +/- 7%).
495 10871193 With regard to the mechanism by which selection was conferred, we found normal levels of IFN-gamma receptor mRNA, but a 60% reduction in expression of the IL-1 receptor type I (IL-1RI) in INS-1res cells compared with parental INS-1 cells.
496 10871193 IL-1beta signaling through p38 MAP kinase was found to be normal in INS-1res cells, suggesting that their expression of IL-1RI is sufficient to maintain cytokine action.
497 10871193 However, normal IL-1beta-mediated translocation of NF-kappaB and induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase expression and nitric oxide production was severely impaired in the INS-1res cell lines, suggesting a mechanism for the IL-1beta resistance.

528 10967106 Dominant negative MyD88 proteins inhibit interleukin-1beta /interferon-gamma -mediated induction of nuclear factor kappa B-dependent nitrite production and apoptosis in beta cells.
529 10967106 In the present study, we investigated whether the interleukin (IL)-1beta intracellular signal transduction pathway could be blocked by overexpression of dominant negative forms of the IL-1 receptor interacting protein MyD88.
530 10967106 We show that overexpression of the Toll domain or the lpr mutant of MyD88 in betaTc-Tet cells decreased nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation upon IL-1beta and IL-1beta/interferon (IFN)-gamma stimulation.
531 10967106 Inducible nitric oxide synthase mRNA accumulation and nitrite production, which required the simultaneous presence of IL-1beta and IFN-gamma, were also suppressed by approximately 70%, and these cells were more resistant to cytokine-induced apoptosis as compared with parental cells.
532 10967106 The decrease in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion induced by IL-1beta and IFN-gamma was however not prevented.
533 10967106 This was because these dysfunctions were induced by IFN-gamma alone, which decreased cellular insulin content and stimulated insulin exocytosis.
534 10967106 These results demonstrate that IL-1beta is involved in inducible nitric oxide synthase gene expression and induction of apoptosis in mouse beta cells but does not contribute to impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
535 10967106 Furthermore, our data show that IL-1beta cellular actions can be blocked by expression of MyD88 dominant negative proteins and, finally, that cytokine-induced beta cell secretory dysfunctions are due to the action of IFN-gamma.

544 10967112 Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that inhibits beta cell function and promotes Fas-triggered apoptosis.
545 10967112 IL-1beta promotes beta cell impairment, in part, by activating NF-kappaB transcription factor-dependent signaling pathways.
546 10967112 We have examined whether beta cells could be protected from the effects of IL-1beta by overexpressing an inhibitor of NF-kappaB activity, IkappaB, by adenoviral gene transfer to intact human islets in culture.
547 10967112 Infection of islets with an adenoviral vector encoding a non-phosphorylatable, non-degradable variant of IkappaBalpha resulted in normal insulin responses to glucose in the presence of IL-1beta.
548 10967112 Furthermore, nitric oxide production was prevented and, more importantly, Fas-triggered apoptosis was inhibited following IkappaBalpha gene transfer.

554 10969841 Binding was functionally significant because overexpression of the cytoplasmic inhibitor of NF-kappaB or deletion of the NF-kappaB binding site reduced ET-1 induction, whereas overexpression of NF-kappaB p65 induced ET-1 even in the absence of AGEs.
555 10969841 Thus, ET-1 transcription is controlled by the AGE-inducible redox-sensitive transcription factor NF-kappaB.

558 10981145 Current evidence suggests that ANG II, through AT1-receptor activation, upregulates several subunits of this multienzyme complex, resulting in an increase in intracellular O2- concentration.
559 10981145 ROS are involved in several signal pathways, and redox-sensitive transcriptional factors (AP-1, NF-kappaB) have been characterized.
560 10981145 Although these perceptions suggest that drugs interfering with ANG II effects (ACE inhibitors, AT1 -receptor antagonist) may serve as antioxidants, preventing vascular and renal changes, the clinical studies are not so straightforward.
561 10997687 Three seemingly independent biochemical pathways are involved in the pathogenesis: glucose-induced activation of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms: increased formation of glucose-derived advanced glycation end products; and increased glucose flux through the aldose reductase pathway.
562 10997687 In this paper, we show that ROS may activate aldose reductase, induce diacylglycerol, activate PKC, induce advanced glycation end product formation, and activate the pleiotropic transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB).
563 11004431 In glycated albumin-treated endothelial cells, we observed induction of cell-associated expression of E-selectin (ELAM-1; 170+/-10% over control values, p<0.005), intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1; 131+/-8% over control values, p<0.005) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1; 134+/-8% over control values, p<0.005), augmentation in the levels of the transcripts of these molecules, and an increase in the DNA binding of NF-kappaB in the promoters of these antigens.
564 11004431 Because the oxidative stress-sensitive transcription factor NF-kappaB is implicated in endothelial cell activation, the observed inhibitory effect of gliclazide on NF-kappaB activation and glycated albumin-induced expression of DNA binding activity for the NF-kappaB site in the ELAM-1, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 promoters seems to be due to its antioxidant properties.

567 11025557 A specific proteasome defect has now been identified in NOD mouse lymphocytes that results from down-regulation of expression of the proteasome subunit LMP2, which is encoded by a gene in the MHC genomic region.
568 11025557 This defect both prevents the proteolytic processing required for the production and activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), which plays an important role in immune and inflammatory responses, in addition to increasing the susceptibility of the affected cells to apoptosis induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha).
569 11032732 Both RT-PCR procedure and Northern blot analysis revealed that AGEs induced not only the gene expression of two major OxLDL receptors, macrophage scavenger receptor (MSR) class A and CD36, but also MSR-B I and lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1.
570 11032732 Also, as a result of gel shift assay, AGEs increased transcriptional activities of AP-1, NF-kappaB, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma.
571 11055977 Activation of NF-kappaB is believed to be dependent on activation of the Rho family of GTPases.
572 11055977 Increased availability of prenylated Rho-A significantly augmented the abilities of angiotensin II (Ang II), hyperglycemia, and AGEs to activate NF-kappaB, as measured by NF-kappaB response-element luciferase reporter activity.
573 11055977 Preincubations of VSMCs with insulin for 24 hours doubled NF-kappaB transactivation by Ang II, hyperglycemia, and AGEs.
574 11055977 We demonstrate for the first time, to our knowledge, that insulin potentiates NF-kappaB-dependent transcriptional activity induced by hyperglycemia, AGEs, and Ang II in VSMCs by increasing the activity of GGTase I and the availability of geranylgeranylated Rho-A.

587 11087760 Since protein kinase C (PKC) mediates some of the actions of cytokines in other cell types, our aim was to assess the role of PKC in IL-1beta-induced iNOS expression in pancreatic beta-cells.
588 11087760 PKCdelta, but not PKCalpha, was specifically activated in the rat INS-1 beta-cell line by IL-1beta as assessed by membrane translocation.
589 11087760 However, a role at the level of transcriptional regulation appeared unlikely, since PKCdelta was not required for the activation of NF-kappaB, activating protein 1, and activating transcription factor 2 signaling pathways in response to IL-1beta.
590 11087760 The results indicate that, in addition to transcriptional activation, mRNA stabilization is a key component of the mechanism by which IL-1beta stimulates iNOS expression in beta-cells and that PKCdelta plays an essential role in this process.
591 11108735 Oxidized LDL induces the expression of ALBP/aP2 mRNA and protein in human THP-1 macrophages.
592 11108735 The adipocyte lipid-binding protein (ALBP/aP2) belongs to a multigene family of fatty acid and retinoid transport proteins.
593 11108735 This report demonstrates that human cholesterol-loaded THP-1 macrophages express ALBP/aP2 and that its expression can be stimulated by oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL).
594 11108735 The increase in ALBP/aP2 mRNA and protein in oxLDL-stimulated THP-1 macrophages is concentration and time dependent and is inhibited by treatment of the cells with an antioxidant inhibitor of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), and with protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors bisindolylmaleimide I and Ro-31-8220.
595 11108735 These results suggest that activation of both NF-kappaB and PKC signaling pathways is necessary for oxLDL-induced ALBP/aP2 gene expression in THP-1 macrophages and that the upregulation of the fatty acid carrier may be a necessary event in foam cell formation.

601 11129119 These include increased expression of proteasome processing proteins (LMP2), transporters of antigen peptides (TAP), invariant chain (Ii), HLA-DM, and the co-stimulatory molecule, B7, as well as STAT and NF-kappaB activation.
602 11129119 A critical factor in these changes is the loss of normal negative regulation of MHC class I, class II, and thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) gene expression, which is necessary to maintain self-tolerance during the normal changes in gene expression involved in hormonally-increased growth and function of the cell.
603 11129119 Self-tolerance to the TSHR is maintained in normals because there is a population of CD8- cells which normally suppresses a population of CD4+ cells that can interact with the TSHR if thyrocytes become APCs.
604 11134901 2'-deoxyguanosine oxidation is associated with decrease in the DNA-binding activity of the transcription factor Sp1 in liver and kidney from diabetic and insulin-resistant rats.
605 11134901 In this work we studied the binding of the redox transcription factors Sp1 and NF-kappaB extracted from kidney and liver of streptozotocin diabetic (STZ) and fructose-fed rats using electrophoretic mobility shift (EMSA) assay.
606 11134901 Therefore, the modification in the binding efficiency of Sp1 or NF-kappaB could be related to reactive oxygen species-mediated DNA damage.

610 11151765 High glucose-induced intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression through an osmotic effect in rat mesangial cells is PKC-NF-kappa B-dependent.
611 11181311 In this activation different growth factors (PDGF, EGF, etc.), cytokines (IL-1b, TNFa, etc.) and the modified LDL themselves, play an important role.
612 11181311 Through several signal transduction pathways these molecules activate transcription factors, such as the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) or protooncogenes such as c-fos, c-myc, that regulate the expression of genes involved in the inflammatory/proliferative response of the lesions.

667 11334407 In addition to inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 activity, recent studies suggest that tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 may inhibit apoptosis in various cell lines.
668 11334407 To address this question in pancreatic islets and beta-cells, we treated rat pancreatic islets and INS-1 cells with a high-dose combination of the cytokines interleukin (IL)-1beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interferon-gamma with or without the addition of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 protein.
669 11334407 Next, we transfected the mouse TIMP-1 gene into INS-1 cells and performed Western immunoblotting to demonstrate expression of TIMP-1 protein.
670 11334407 We also evaluated the effect of TIMP-1 on IL-1beta-induced inhibition of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in freshly isolated rat pancreatic islets.
671 11334407 Finally, we evaluated the effect of TIMP-1 on inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expression and nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB activity in INS-1 cells stimulated with high-dose cytokines.

705 11424232 There is however evidence for a role of protein kinase C, advanced glycation end products (AGE) and activation of transcription factors such as NF kappa B, but the exact signalling pathways and the interactions with ROI remain a matter of discussion.

707 11466366 Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is characterized by the T cell-mediated destruction of insulin-producing beta cells.
708 11466366 Here we demonstrate that DCs derived from nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, a model for IDDM, are more sensitive to various forms of stimulation compared with those from C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice, resulting in increased IL-12 secretion.
709 11466366 This property is a consequence of hyperactivation of NF-kappaB, a transcription factor known to regulate IL-12 gene expression.
710 11466366 Transfection of NOD DCs with a modified form of IkappaBalpha significantly reduced IL-12 secretion, suggesting that hyperactivation of NF-kappaB was in part responsible for increased IL-12 production.

715 11467344 A specific proteasome defect has been identified in NOD mouse in select lymphocytic and monocytic lineages that results from down-regulation of expression of the proteasome subunit LMP2, which is encoded by a gene in the MHC genomic region.
716 11467344 This defect prevents the proteolytic processing required for the production and activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), which plays important roles in immune and inflammatory responses, as well as increases the susceptibility of the affected cells to apoptosis induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha).

887 11723063 As a mechanism, we propose that binding of ligands such as advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs), members of the S100 family, or amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta) to the transmembrane receptor for AGE (RAGE) results in protein synthesis-dependent sustained activation of NF-kappaB both in vitro and in vivo.

911 11739475 Hydrocortisone suppresses intranuclear activator-protein-1 (AP-1) binding activity in mononuclear cells and plasma matrix metalloproteinase 2 and 9 (MMP-2 and MMP-9).
912 11739475 Having demonstrated recently that hydrocortisone (HC) suppresses intranuclear and total cellular nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) and increases inhibitor kappa B (I kappa B) in mononuclear cells (MNC), in vivo, we have now investigated the effect of hydrocortisone on the other major pro-inflammatory transcription factor, AP-1 and the two proteins, MMP-2 and MMP-9, whose transcription is modulated by it.
913 11739475 Plasma MMP-2 and MMP-9 were measured by ELISA.
914 11739475 Plasma MMP-2 concentration also decreased significantly at 1, 2, 4 and 8 h while MMP-9 decreased at 1 and 2 h.
915 11739475 These data demonstrate that the acute anti-inflammatory effect of HC, in vivo, is, in part, due to AP-1 suppression and a reduction in MMP-2 and MMP-9.
916 11742440 PDB has a significant genetic component, with evidence of linkage to chromosomes 6p21.3 (PDB1) and 18q21-22 (PDB2) in some pedigrees.
917 11742440 TNFRSF11A, a gene that is essential for osteoclast formation and that encodes receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (RANK), has been mapped to the PDB2 region.
918 11742440 TNFRSF11A mutations that segregate in pedigrees with either familial expansile osteolysis or familial PDB have been identified; however, linkage studies and mutation screening have excluded the involvement of RANK in the majority of patients with PDB.
919 11742440 We have excluded linkage, both to PDB1 and to PDB2, in a large multigenerational pedigree with multiple family members affected by PDB.
920 11744330 These changes are accompanied by increased expression of NF-kappaB-related genes, gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase, inhibitor of apoptosis protein-1 (IAP-1), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS).
921 11748490 The intrapituitary stimulatory effect of lipopolysaccharide on ACTH secretion is mediated by paracrine-acting IL-6.
922 11748490 We have shown recently that LPS stimulates intrapituitary IL-6 production in folliculostellate cells via specific receptors and the p38a mitogen-activated protein kinase/nuclear factor-kappa B pathway.
923 11748490 To test the physiological relevance of these findings, we studied whether LPS could enhance ACTH secretion via paracrine-acting intrapituitary IL-6.
924 11748490 Lipopolysaccharide stimulated IL-6 secretion both in monolayer and aggregate mouse pituitary cell cultures, but only in aggregates, ACTH secretion was significantly enhanced by LPS.
925 11748490 My4, an antibody that blocks the interaction of LPS with the LPS receptor CD14, suppressed both LPS-induced IL-6 and ACTH secretion in aggregate cultures.
926 11748490 A neutralizing antibody against mouse IL-6 also inhibited LPS-induced ACTH secretion in aggregates.
927 11748490 In mouse pituitary fragments, LPS-induced ACTH secretion was blocked by My4 and IL-6 antibodies, identically to re-aggregate cell cultures.
928 11748490 LPS-induced ACTH secretion, mediated by intrapituitary IL-6, may represent a pituitary-specific mechanism that stimulates the HPA axis during infection/inflammation.
929 11751962 We have recently demonstrated that dendritic cells (DC) prepared from nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, a spontaneous model for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, exhibit elevated levels of NF-kappaB activation upon stimulation.
930 11751962 The T cell stimulatory capacity of NOD DC was suppressed by gene transfer of a modified form of IkappaBalpha, indicating a direct role for NF-kappaB in this process.
931 11751962 Furthermore, neutralization of IL-12(p70) to block autocrine-mediated activation of DC also significantly reduced the capacity of NOD DC to stimulate T cells.

964 11793013 Data obtained on non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice suggest that macrophages and CD4+ T-cells are the main cellular effectors, whereas CD8+ T-cells are more important initiators of the immune process leading to beta-cell death.
965 11793013 Perforin could be the effector molecule utilized by CD8+ T-cell initiation, whereas CD4+ mediated beta-cell destruction is mostly dependent on Fas/FasL and the cytokines IFNgamma and TNF-alpha.
966 11793013 The macrophage cytokine IL-1beta in combination with IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha, plays an important role for beta-cell dysfunction and death.
967 11793013 Signal transduction by these cytokines involves: (i) binding to specific receptors, (ii) signal transduction by cytosolic kinases (especially the so-called mitogen- and stress-activated protein kinases) and/or phosphatases, (iii) mobilization of diverse transcription factors - with nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB), AP-1 and STAT-1 probably playing key roles for beta-cell apoptosis; (iv) up-regulation or down-regulation of gene transcription.
968 11811538 Since in vivo studies have shown that plasma intracellular GSH plays a key role in regulating the activation of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB), we have investigated the relationship between intracellular thiols (GSH, homocysteine, cysteine and cysteinyglycine) and NF-kappaB activity in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of 63 elderly non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients (28 microalbuminurics and 35 normoalbuminurics) and 30 healthy age- and sex-matched subjects.
969 11811538 In addition, we have measured plasma concentrations of these thiol compounds, serum concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), that are partly dependent on the NF-kappaB activation, as well as the serum levels of thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS), as index of lipid peroxidation.
970 11811538 Since in vivo studies have shown that plasma intracellular GSH plays a key role in regulating the activation of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB), we have investigated the relationship between intracellular thiols (GSH, homocysteine, cysteine and cysteinyglycine) and NF-kappaB activity in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of 63 elderly non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients (28 microalbuminurics and 35 normoalbuminurics) and 30 healthy age- and sex-matched subjects.

972 11862760 Using an antisense technique, PKC alpha and delta/epsilon were shown to be necessary for gene expression of inducible NO synthase by interleukin-1, one of the proinflammatory cytokines, by a stimulated transactivation of NF-kappa B (TH).
973 11862760 In canine cerebral artery, PKC delta and PKC alpha play important roles in the development and the maintenance of vasospasm induced by subarachnoid hemorrhage, respectively (SN); and stretch-induced MLC20 phosphorylation involves MLCK and PKC alpha but not PKC delta activities facilitated by inactivation of myosin phosphatase through Rho activity (KO & KN).
974 11862760 To clarify the role of PKC isozymes in insulin resistance, the effects of insulin on glucose uptake, PKC isozyme activation and PI3K activation in rat adipocytes were shown and then platelet PKC beta activation in diabetic patients with various diabetic complications, including diabetic retinopathy, was reported (TI).
975 11887169 By use of cultured rat aortic endothelial cells transfected with an IkappaB super-repressor (DeltaN2 cells), we provide evidence that NF-kappaB signalling is required in the linoleic acid-induced VCAM-1 expression in endothelial cells, whereas other transcription factors appear to be involved in the increased endothelial plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) production in response to linoleic acid.
976 11889219 Insulin inhibits the pro-inflammatory transcription factor early growth response gene-1 (Egr)-1 expression in mononuclear cells (MNC) and reduces plasma tissue factor (TF) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) concentrations.
977 11889219 We have recently demonstrated that an infusion of a low dose of insulin reduces the intranuclear NF-kappa B (a pro-inflammatory transcription factor) content in MNC while also reducing the plasma concentration of NF-kappa B dependent pro-inflammatory cytokines and adhesion molecules.
978 11889219 We have now tested the effect of insulin on the pro-inflammatory transcription factor, early growth response-1 (Egr-1) and plasma concentration of tissue factor (TF) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), two major proteins whose expression is modulated by Egr-1.
979 11889219 PAI-1 levels (basal = 100%) decreased significantly after insulin infusion at 2 h (57 +/- 6.7% of the basal level) and at 4 h (58 +/- 8.3% of the basal level; P<0.001).
980 11889219 Thus, insulin reduces intranuclear Egr-1 and the expression of TF and PAI-1.
981 11889219 These data provide further evidence that insulin has an anti-inflammatory effect including the inhibition of TF and PAI-1 expression.
982 11889219 These effects suggest a potential beneficial effect of insulin in thrombin formation and fibrinolysis in atherothrombosis.
983 11897677 Double-stranded RNA cooperates with interferon-gamma and IL-1 beta to induce both chemokine expression and nuclear factor-kappa B-dependent apoptosis in pancreatic beta-cells: potential mechanisms for viral-induced insulitis and beta-cell death in type 1 diabetes mellitus.

1007 11912559 Tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibits insulin-induced increase in endothelial nitric oxide synthase and reduces insulin receptor content and phosphorylation in human aortic endothelial cells.
1008 11912559 We have recently demonstrated that insulin also inhibits the expression of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), 2 major proinflammatory mediators, by human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC) and the proinflammatory mediator, nuclear factor (NF-kappa B), in the nucleus in parallel with an increase in endothelial nitric oxide synthase (e-NOS) expression.
1009 11912559 The inhibition of ICAM-1 by insulin is NO dependent.
1010 11912559 Because tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a ) is proinflammatory and may thus inhibit the action of insulin at the endothelial cell level, we have now investigated whether TNF-a affects (1) insulin receptor content; (2) insulin receptor (IR) autophosphorylation induced by insulin, and (3) e-NOS expression by the endothelial cells.
1011 11912559 TNF-alpha also inhibited tyrosine autophosphorylation of the IR in HAEC induced by insulin and reduced IR beta-subunit protein expression in HAEC.
1012 11912559 These effects of insulin and TNF-alpha were independent of cell proliferation, as cell counts did not change with insulin or TNF-alpha.
1013 11912559 Although the inhibition of IR autophosphorylation by TNF-alpha is known to occur at the adipocyte level, the data on the inhibitory effect of TNF-alpha on insulin-induced e-NOS expression and IRP contents are novel.

1085 11996947 The migration inhibited by high glucose was restored by NF-kappaB inhibitors (including E3-4-methylphenyl sulfonyl-2-propenenitrile, N-tosyl-Lys-chloromethylketone (TLCK), or over-expression of inhibitor subunit of kappaB) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase inhibitors (N-methyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA); and Nomega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME)).
1086 11996947 Furthermore, NF-kappaB inhibitors attenuated high glucose induced eNOS expression and intracellular nitric oxide (NO) production.

1089 12031964 Inhibition of interleukin-1beta-induced COX-2 and EP3 gene expression by sodium salicylate enhances pancreatic islet beta-cell function.
1090 12031964 These studies were performed to ascertain the relative abundance of E prostaglandin (EP) receptor mRNAs in tissues that are major targets, or major degradative sites, of insulin; to identify which EP receptor type mediates PGE(2) inhibition of insulin secretion in pancreatic islets; and to examine possible sites of action through which sodium salicylate might affect IL-1beta/PGE(2) interactions.
1091 12031964 EP3 mRNA is the least, whereas EP2 mRNA is the most, abundant type in skeletal muscle.
1092 12031964 Misoprostol, an EP3 agonist, inhibited glucose-induced insulin secretion from islets, an event that was prevented by preincubation with pertussis toxin, by decreasing cAMP.
1093 12031964 Sodium salicylate also prevented IL-1beta from inducing EP3 and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 gene expression in islets and thereby prevented IL-1beta from inhibiting glucose-induced insulin secretion.
1094 12031964 These findings indicate that the sites of action through which sodium salicylate inhibits these negative effects of IL-1beta on beta-cell function include activation of NF-kappaB as well as generation of PGE(2) by COX-2.
1095 12031968 cFLIP protein prevents tumor necrosis factor-alpha-mediated induction of caspase-8-dependent apoptosis in insulin-secreting betaTc-Tet cells.
1096 12031968 The exact role played by interferon-gamma, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and interleukin-1beta in this pathogenic process is still only partially understood.
1097 12031968 We previously reported that it was susceptible to apoptosis induced by TNF-alpha, in combination with interleukin-1beta and interferon-gamma.
1098 12031968 We show that in betaTc-Tet cells, overexpression of cFLIP, the cellular FLICE (FADD-like IL-1beta-converting enzyme)-inhibitory protein, completely abolished cytokine-dependent activation of caspase-8 and protected the cells against apoptosis.
1099 12031968 Furthermore, cFLIP overexpression increased the basal and interleukin-1beta-mediated transcriptional activity of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB, whereas it did not change cytokine-induced inducible nitric oxide synthase gene transcription and nitric oxide secretion.
1100 12031968 The presence of cFLIP prevented the weak TNF-alpha-induced reduction in cellular insulin content and secretion; however, it did not prevent the decrease in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion induced by the combined cytokines, in agreement with our previous data demonstrating that interferon-gamma alone could induce these beta-cell dysfunctions.
1101 12031968 Together, our data demonstrate that overexpression of cFLIP protects mouse beta-cells against TNF-alpha-induced caspase-8 activation and apoptosis and is correlated with enhanced NF-kappaB transcriptional activity, suggesting that cFLIP may have an impact on the outcome of death receptor-triggered responses by directing the intracellular signals from beta-cell death to beta-cell survival.

1103 12036387 The recent demonstration of Ang II AT(2) receptors in the adult kidney and their potential to oppose the vasoconstrictive, antinatriuretic, and profibrotic properties of AT(1) receptors suggests that the balance of intrarenal AT(1) and AT(2) receptors may be important in determining the cellular responses to Ang II in diabetic nephropathy.
1104 12036387 Glomerular macrophage recruitment in experimental diabetes occurs via Ang II-stimulated monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 expression, suggesting that the renin-angiotensin system is an important regulator of local MCP-1 expression, and strongly implicating macrophage recruitment and activation in the pathogenesis of early diabetic glomerular injury.
1105 12036387 NF-kappaB activation is related to AT(1) receptor-mediated pathways, and is believed to be dependent on activation of the Rho proteins belonging to the superfamily of low molecular weight guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) that regulate intracellular signalling.

1107 12036387 Therapeutic blockade of Ang II AT(1) receptors in diabetic and hypercholesterolaemic humans by ARBs, with concomitant elevation in plasma and tissue Ang II levels, may provide vascular and renal protection not only by reducing AT(1) receptor-mediated pro-oxidative effects, but also by unopposed AT(2) receptor stimulation.

1114 12077291 Aberrant production of IL-12 by macrophages from several autoimmune-prone mouse strains is characterized by intrinsic and unique patterns of NF-kappa B expression and binding to the IL-12 p40 promoter.
1115 12077291 Evaluation of the possible mechanism(s) underlying the abnormal regulation of IL-12 in these strains revealed novel patterns of Rel family protein binding to the unique p40 NF-kappaB site in the IL-12 p40 promoter, whereas binding patterns to Ets and CCAAT enhancer binding protein/beta sites were normal.
1116 12077291 In particular, the heightened production of IL-12 by NOD M(phi) is associated with elevated levels of the trans-activating p50/c-Rel (p65) complex compared with the nonfunctional p50/p50 dimer.
1117 12077291 Conversely, the dramatically impaired production of IL-12 by both NZB/W and MRL/+ M(phi) is associated with a predominance of p50/p50 and reduced p50/c-Rel(p65) binding.

1122 12086926 Lipid-induced insulin resistance in human muscle is associated with changes in diacylglycerol, protein kinase C, and IkappaB-alpha.
1123 12086926 The possibility that lipid-induced insulin resistance in human muscle is related to alterations in diacylglycerol (DAG)/protein kinase C (PKC) signaling was investigated in normal volunteers during euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamping in which plasma free fatty acid (FFA) levels were increased by a lipid/heparin infusion.
1124 12086926 To evaluate whether the fatty acid-induced insulin activation of PKC was associated with a change in the IkB kinase (IKK)/nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB pathway, we determined the abundance in muscle of IkappaB-alpha, an inhibitor of NF-kappaB that is degraded after its phosphorylation by IKK.
1125 12086926 Whether acute FFA-induced insulin resistance in human skeletal muscle is caused by the activation of these specific PKC isoforms and the IKK-beta/IkappaB/NFkappaB pathway remains to be established.
1126 12086956 Pericytes exposed to high glucose showed increased expression of Bax and of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, which were prevented by the NF-kappaB inhibitors and mimicked by transfection with the p65 subunit of NF-kappaB, and failed to increase the levels of the NF-kappaB-dependent inhibitors of apoptosis.

1130 12110133 Multiple roles for tumor necrosis factor-alpha and lymphotoxin alpha/beta in immunity and autoimmunity.
1131 12110133 In several experimental systems (Jurkat T cells, murine T-cell hybridomas), TNF-alpha appears to cause a downregulation of signaling through the TCR, revealed by changes in calcium flux, activation of p21, p23 and ZAP70, and a decrease in nuclear activation of NF-kappaB.
1132 12110133 The paradoxical effects of neonatal TNF-alpha administration in NOD mice in increasing incidence of and hastening onset of type 1 diabetes, while neonatal anti-TNF administration completely prevents all signs of islet cell autoimmunity, are due partly to the low levels of CD4+CD25+ T cells in NOD mice.
1133 12110133 In contrast, neonatal administration of anti-TNF-alpha results in a dramatic increase in the levels of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells, to levels beyond those seen in wild-type untreated NOD mice.
1134 12110133 TNF-alpha and LTalpha/beta thus have pleomorphic regulatory effects on the development and expression of autoimmunity.

1139 12147223 CML-BSA also stimulated DNA-binding activity of activator protein-1 (AP-1) within 3h, but the stimulatory effect decreased in 5h, and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) with a peak activity at 1h and the stimulatory effect diminished in 3h.
1140 12147223 CML-BSA also stimulated the activity of protein kinase C, Ras/Raf-1, and MEK/ERK1/2.
1141 12147223 Inhibition of ERK1/2 abolished CML-BSA-stimulated AP-1 DNA-binding activity and gamma-GCSh mRNA expression.
1142 12223530 Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a member of the PARP enzyme family consisting of PARP-1 and several recently identified novel poly(ADP-ribosylating) enzymes.

1159 12368225 Furthermore, AGE increased transcriptional activity of nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) and activator protein-1 (AP-1) and then up-regulated mRNA levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) in EC.
1160 12368225 Cerivastatin, a hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA reductase inhibitor; pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate; or curcumin was found to completely prevent the AGE-induced increase in NF-kB and AP-1 activity, VEGF mRNA up-regulation, and the resultant increase in DNA synthesis in microvascular EC.

1193 12397035 Smad6 and Smad7 are inhibitory SMADs with putative functional roles at the intersection of major intracellular signaling networks, including TGF-beta, receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), JAK/STAT, and NF-kappaB pathways.
1194 12397035 This study reports differential functional roles and regulation of Smad6 and Smad7 in TGF-beta signaling in renal cells, in murine models of renal disease and in human glomerular diseases.
1195 12397035 Smad7 is upregulated in podocytes in all examined glomerular diseases (focal segmental glomerulosclerosis [FSGS], minimal-change disease [MCD], membranous nephropathy [MNP], lupus nephritis [LN], and diabetic nephropathy [DN]) with a statistically significant upregulation in "classical" podocyte-diseases such as FSGS and MCD.
1196 12397035 TGF-beta induces Smad7 synthesis in cultured podocytes and Smad6 synthesis in cultured mesangial cells.
1197 12397035 Although Smad7 expression inhibited both Smad2- and Smad3-mediated TGF-beta signaling in podocytes, it inhibited only Smad3 but not Smad2 signaling in mesangial cells.
1198 12397035 In contrast, Smad6 had no effect on TGF-beta/Smad signaling in podocytes and enhanced Smad3 signaling in mesangial cells.
1199 12397035 These data suggest that Smad7 is activated in injured podocytes in vitro and in human glomerular disease and participates in negative control of TGF-beta/Smad signaling in addition to its pro-apoptotic activity, whereas Smad6 has no role in TGF-beta response and injury in podocytes.
1200 12397035 These data indicate an important role for Smad6 and Smad7 in glomerular cells in vivo that could be important for the cell homeostasis in physiologic and pathologic conditions.
1201 12423202 Leptin activates the promoter of the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist through p42/44 mitogen-activated protein kinase and a composite nuclear factor kappa B/PU.1 binding site.

1203 12423202 We now demonstrate that the activation of the IL-1Ra promoter by leptin is strictly dependent on the presence of the long form of the leptin receptor (OB-Rb), and that it also requires the activation of the p42/44 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) as well as the presence of a nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappa B)/PU.1 composite site at position -80 of the IL-1Ra promoter.

1260 12453911 Since advanced glycation end products (AGEs; AGE-albumin) and in particular carboxymethyllysine (CML) are known to play a central role in diabetic nephropathy, we studied the activation of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) in tubular epithelial cells in vivo and in vitro by AGE-albumin and CML.
1261 12453911 Five of eight NF-kappaBp65 antigen-positive cells stained positive for interleukin-6 (IL-6) antigen (62%), while only one of the NF-kappaB-negative cells showed IL-6 positivity. pTECs in the urine sediment correlated positively with albuminuria (r = 0.57, P < 0.0001) and CML excretion (r = 0.55, P < 0.0001).
1262 12453911 Stimulation of NF-kappaB binding activity was dose dependent and was one-half maximal at 250 nmol/l AGE-albumin or CML and time dependent at a maximum of activation after 4 days.
1263 12453911 Functional relevance of the observed NF-kappaB activation was demonstrated in pTECs transfected with a NF-kappaB-driven luciferase reporter plasmid and was associated with an increased release of IL-6 into the supernatant.
1264 12453911 The AGE- and CML-dependent activation of NF-kappaBp65 and NF-kappaB-dependent IL-6 expression could be inhibited using the soluble form of the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) (soluble RAGE [sRAGE]), RAGE-specific antibody, or the antioxidant thioctic acid.
1265 12453911 In addition transcriptional activity and IL-6 release from transfected cells could be inhibited by overexpression of the NF-kappaB-specific inhibitor kappaBalpha.
1266 12453911 The findings that excreted pTECs demonstrate activated NF-kappaB and IL-6 antigen and that AGE-albumin and CML lead to a perpetuated activation of NF-kappaB in vitro infer that a perpetuated increase in proinflammtory gene products, such as IL-6, plays a role in damaging the renal tubule.

1335 12490536 Aldose reductase mediates cytotoxic signals of hyperglycemia and TNF-alpha in human lens epithelial cells.
1336 12490536 Herein we report that inhibition of the polyol pathway enzyme aldose reductase (AR) by two structurally unrelated inhibitors--sorbinil and tolrestat--prevents, in the human lens epithelial cell line B-3, the apoptosis and activation of caspase-3 caused by exposure to high glucose levels or TNF-alpha.
1337 12490536 Inhibition of AR attenuated TNF-alpha and hyperglycemia-induced activation of protein kinase C (PKC), phosphorylation of the inhibitory subunit of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), and stimulation of NF-kappaB, but it did not prevent the activation of NF-kappaB and PKC by phorbol ester.

1399 12524538 Here we have generated mice deficient for signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) and CTLA-4 to determine the role of CTLA-4 in cytokine-driven T cell differentiation.
1400 12524538 CTLA-4-deficient T cells bypass the need for STAT6 in the differentiation of T helper type 2 (T(H)2) cells.
1401 12524538 T(H)2 differentiation of cells deficient for both STAT6 and CTLA-4 is accompanied by induction of GATA-3 and the migration of T(H)2 cells to peripheral tissues.
1402 12524538 CTLA-4 deficiency also affects the balance of the nuclear factors NFATc1 and NFATc2, and enhances activation of NF-kappaB.
1403 12524538 These results suggest that CTLA-4 has a critical role in T cell differentiation and that STAT6-dependent T(H)2 lineage commitment and stabilization can be bypassed by increasing the strength of signaling through the T cell receptor.

1560 12732648 In reporter gene assays in HeLa cells, ectopic expression of PPAR-gamma abolished induction of a NF-kappaB-responsive reporter gene by the p65 subunit (RelA) of NF-kappaB, and the inhibition was further enhanced in the presence of TGZ.

1622 12795417 In murine models of autoimmune lupus, for example, mutations in the death receptor Fas (CD95) or in its ligand, FasL (CD95L), have been identified and shown to render lymphoid cells resistant to apoptosis.

1637 12878589 Here we demonstrate that LDL(-) increases tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha)-induced inflammatory responses through NF kappa B and AP-1 activation with corresponding increases in vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM1) expression.
1638 12878589 In contrast, exposing LDL(-) to the key lipolytic enzyme lipoprotein lipase (LPL) reversed these responses, inhibiting VCAM1 below levels seen with TNFalpha alone.
1639 12878589 LPL is known to act on lipoproteins to generate endogenous peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR alpha) ligand, thus limiting inflammation.
1640 12878589 As compared with LDL(-) alone, LPL-treated LDL(-) increased PPAR alpha activation 20-fold in either cell-based transfection or radioligand displacement assays.
1641 12878589 LPL-treated LDL(-) suppressed NF kappa B and AP-1 activation, increasing expression of the PPAR alpha target gene I kappa B alpha, although only in the genetic presence of PPAR alpha and with intact LPL hydrolysis.
1642 12878589 Mass spectrometry reveals that LPL-treatment of either LDL or LDL(-) releases hydroxy-octadecadienoic acids (HODEs), potent PPAR alpha activators.

1655 12948526 Insulin resistance in adipose tissue: direct and indirect effects of tumor necrosis factor-alpha.
1656 12948526 Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), a paracrine/autocrine factor highly expressed in adipose tissues of obese animals and human subjects, is implicated in the induction of insulin resistance seen in obesity and type 2 diabetes.
1657 12948526 Here, we review several molecular aspects of adipose tissue physiology, and highlight the direct effects of TNF-alpha on the functions of adipose tissue including induction of lipolysis, inhibition of insulin signaling, and alterations in expression of adipocyte important genes through activation of NF-kappaB, as well as their pertinence to insulin sensitivity of adipocytes.
1658 12948526 We also review the ability of TNF-alpha to inhibit synthesis of several adipocyte-specific proteins including Acrp30 (adiponectin) and enhance release of free fatty acids (FFAs) from adipose tissue, and discuss how these factors may act as systemic mediators of TNF-alpha and affect whole body energy homeostasis and overall insulin sensitivity.

1674 12970329 Neither quinapril nor simvastatin given for 7 d produced a suppression of ROS generation, intranuclear NF-kappa B, p65, or CRP, and these two agents did not alter cellular I kappa B either.
1675 12970329 The untreated controls also did not demonstrate a change in their ROS generation or NF-kappa B binding activity or plasma CRP concentration.
1676 14504138 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediate cell signalling in the vasculature, where they can promote cell growth and activate redox-regulated transcription factors, like activator protein-1 (AP-1) or nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), which are involved in remodelling and inflammation processes.
1677 14504138 In this study, we analysed whether Amadori-modified human oxyhaemoglobin, glycosylated at either normal (N-Hb) or elevated (E-Hb) levels, can induce cell growth and activate AP-1 and NF-kappaB in cultured human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMC).

1679 14504138 In conclusion, E-Hb stimulates growth and activates AP-1 and NF-kappaB in human vascular smooth muscle by redox-sensitive pathways, thus suggesting a possible direct role for Amadori adducts in diabetic vasculopathy.

1692 14514642 We first confirmed that incubation of HMC with 30 mmol/l glucose significantly increased COX-2 mRNA but not COX-1 mRNA, compared with 5.6 mmol/l glucose.
1693 14514642 Similarly, incubation of HMCs with 30 mmol/l glucose significantly increased mitochondrial membrane potential, intracellular ROS production, COX-2 protein expression, and PGE2 synthesis, and these events were completely suppressed by thenoyltrifluoroacetone or carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, inhibitors of mitochondrial metabolism, or by overexpression of uncoupling protein-1 or manganese superoxide dismutase.

1700 14529360 Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) protects the genome by functioning in the DNA damage surveillance network.
1701 14529360 In response to stresses that are toxic to the genome, PARP-1 activity increases substantially, an event that appears crucial for maintaining genomic integrity.
1702 14529360 Massive PARP-1 activation, however, can deplete the cell of NAD(+) and ATP, ultimately leading to energy failure and cell death.
1703 14529360 The discovery that cell death may be suppressed by PARP inhibitors or by deletion of the parp-1 gene has prompted a great deal of interest in the process of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation.
1704 14529360 Suppression of PARP-1 is capable of protecting against cerebral and cardiac ischemia, 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-induced parkinsonism, traumatic spinal cord injury, and streptozotocin-induced diabetes.
1705 14529360 Microglial migration is strongly controlled in living brain tissue by expression of the integrin CD11a, which is regulated in turn by PARP-1, proposing that PARP-1 downregulation may therefore be a promising strategy in protecting neurons from this secondary damage, as well.
1706 14529360 As PARP-1 is now recognised as playing a role also in the regulation of gene transcription, this further increases the intricacy of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in the control of cell homeostasis and challenges the notion that energy collapse is the sole mechanism by which poly(ADP-ribose) formation contributes to cell death.
1707 14529360 PARP(s) might regulate cell fate as essential modulators of death and survival transcriptional programs with relation to NF-kappaB and p53, proposing that inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation could therefore prevent the deleterious consequences of neuroinflammation by reducing NF-kappaB activity.
1708 14555214 Although distinct receptors, all members share a common cell signaling pathway that mediates the activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (e.g. c-jun N-terminal kinase).
1709 14555214 Regulation of cell growth and activation of NF-kappaB and of c-jun N-terminal kinase by the TNF super family is mediated through sequential activation/association of a set of cell signaling proteins named TNF receptor-associated factors, Fas-associated death domain and FADD-like ICE, caspases, receptor-interacting protein, NF-kappaB-inducing kinases, and IkappaBalpha kinases.

1738 14576487 The injurious effects of ethanol on the pancreas may be mediated through (1) sensitization of acinar cells to CCK-induced premature activation of zymogens; (2) potentiation of the effect of CCK on the activation of transcription factors, nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) and activating protein-1 (AP-1); (3) generation of toxic metabolites such as acetaldehyde and fatty acid ethyl esters; (4) sensitization of the pancreas to the toxic effects of coxsackievirus B3; and (5) activation of pancreatic stellate cells by acetaldehyde and oxidative stress and subsequent increased production of collagen and other matrix proteins.
1739 14592444 Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a cytokine considered to play a key role in beta-cell destruction in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
1740 14592444 Expression of TNF receptor I, inducible form of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme (ICE), Bcl-2, and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) was analyzed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction to investigate the suppressor mechanism of FTS on TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis.

1749 14630716 We have previously shown that cytokine-induced iNOS expression is cycloheximide (CHX) sensitive and requires nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) activation.

1776 14683523 Our previous studies have found that high glucose does not induce cellular hypertrophy or expression of TGF-beta1 (transforming growth factor-beta1) in distal renal tubule cells [Yang, Guh, Yang, Lai, Tsai, Hung, Chang and Chuang (1998) J.
1777 14683523 Since TSP-1 (thrombospondin-1) has been demonstrated to activate latent TGF-beta1 in a variety of systems, the following experiments were performed.

1807 14976218 We therefore carried out chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays in monocytes to identify 1) chromatin factors bound to the promoters of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and related NF-kappaB-regulated genes under HG or diabetic conditions, 2) specific lysine (Lys (K)) residues on histone H3 (HH3) and HH4 acetylated in this process.
1808 14976218 HG treatment of THP-1 monocytes increased the transcriptional activity of NF-kappaB p65, which was augmented by CBP/p300 and p/CAF.
1809 14976218 ChIP assays showed that HG increased the recruitment of NF-kappaB p65, CPB, and p/CAF to the TNF-alpha and COX-2 promoters.
1810 14976218 Interestingly, ChIP assays also demonstrated concomitant acetylation of HH3 at Lys(9) and Lys(14), and HH4 at Lys(5), Lys(8), and Lys(12) at the TNF-alpha and COX-2 promoters.

1946 15127200 Oxidative stress induces insulin resistance by activating the nuclear factor-kappa B pathway and disrupting normal subcellular distribution of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase.
1947 15153434 It may partner with junD, NF-kB, PEM, SMAD3, RPA2, FANCD2, NM23beta, nonmuscle myosin heavy chain II-A, GFAP, and/or vimentin.
1948 15163543 On the other hand, arsenite has high affinity for sulfhydryl groups and thus can form covalent bonds with the disulfide bridges in the molecules of insulin, insulin receptors, glucose transporters (GLUTs), and enzymes involved in glucose metabolism (e.g., pyruvate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase).
1949 15163543 Recent studies have shown that, in subjects with chronic arsenic exposure, oxidative stress is increased and the expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) is upregulated.
1950 15163543 Arsenite at physiologically relevant concentration also shows inhibitory effect on the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), a nuclear hormone receptor important for activating insulin action.
1951 15163543 Oxidative stress has been suggested as a major pathogenic link to both insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction through mechanisms involving activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), which is also activated by low levels of arsenic.
1952 15163543 Although without supportive data, superoxide production induced by arsenic exposure can theoretically impair insulin secretion by interaction with uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2), and oxidative stress can also cause amyloid formation in the pancreas, which could progressively destroy the insulin-secreting beta cells.
1953 15199129 Activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) is a stress-inducible gene and encodes a member of the ATF/CREB family of transcription factors.
1954 15199129 Second, induction of ATF3 is mediated in part by the NF-kappaB and Jun N-terminal kinase/stress-activated protein kinase signaling pathways, two stress-induced pathways implicated in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
1955 15220215 We have conducted familial association studies using 478 families and demonstrate that a type 1 diabetes susceptibility gene resides within a 212-kb region containing the TAB2 gene (Tsp = 1.0 x 10(-2) to 4.0 x 10(-4)).
1956 15220215 Two additional genes, LOC340152, a predicted gene with currently unknown function, and SMT3, which has homology to SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier) were found within the 212-kb region and were associated with type 1 diabetes susceptibility.
1957 15220215 However, both TAB2 and SUMO are involved in NF-kappaB activation and may thus be involved in type 1 diabetes through apoptosis in pancreatic beta-cells.

1968 15246743 The molecular mechanism, by which RA inhibited iNOS gene expression, appeared to involve the inhibition of NF-kappa B activation.

2056 15322748 However, the recent recognition that the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANK-L)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) signalling pathway is central to the processes regulating bone turnover in a wide variety of medical conditions has raised the possibility that the same cytokines may be involved in the osteolysis which accompanies diabetic neuropathy.

2213 15555528 DHA activates a number of nuclear hormone receptors that operate as transcription factors for molecules that modulate reduction-oxidation-sensitive and proinflammatory genes; these include the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha) and the retinoid X receptor.
2214 15555528 In the case of PPAR-alpha, this action is thought to prevent endothelial cell dysfunction and vascular remodeling through inhibition of: vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, inducible nitric oxide synthase production, interleukin-1 induced cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 production, and thrombin-induced endothelin 1 production.
2215 15555528 EPA depresses vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-specific tyrosine kinase receptor activation and expression.
2216 15555528 The mechanism of VEGF receptor down-regulation is believed to occur at the tyrosine kinase nuclear factor-kappa B (NFkappaB).

2218 15563986 TNFalpha reduces the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) via the production of ceramide and activation of atypical PKC.
2219 15563986 Although tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) decreases the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), its mechanism is not understood.
2220 15563986 We evaluated the effect of ceramide, the second messenger of TNFalpha, on the expression of PPARgamma in primary cultured adipocytes.
2221 15563986 PPARgamma mRNA and aP2 mRNA levels were measured with real-time PCR.
2222 15563986 The application of 1 microM C6-ceramide for 36 h reduced PPARgamma mRNA level, aP2 mRNA level, and PPARgamma protein level to 56.3%, 80.4% and 62.1%, respectively.
2223 15563986 Overexpression of wild type PKCzeta magnified and accelerated the effect of TNFalpha and C6-ceramide on PPARgamma mRNA levels, whereas overexpression of dominant negative PKCzeta abolished the effect.
2224 15563986 We also found that the overexpression of constitutive active PKCzeta reduced PPARgamma mRNA level, aP2 mRNA level, and PPARgamma protein level to 61.4%, 70.3% and 81.6%, respectively.
2225 15563986 Furthermore, TNFalpha activated nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), known as a downstream effector of PKCzeta to 256.6%, which was enhanced with overexpression of wild-type PKCzeta.
2226 15563986 On the other hand, treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, another activator of NF-kappaB, also reduced the expression of PPARgamma to 57.8%.

2308 15579048 The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), a member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily has classically been characterized for its implications in adipocyte differentiation and fat metabolism.
2309 15579048 Recently, PPARgamma has been implicated in the pathophysiology of inflammatory and immune responses possibly through inhibition of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways or the activation of the transcription nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB).

2311 15587680 In target cells, angiotensin II/AT1 receptor interaction generates various signals, including an immediate functional calcium-dependent response, secondary hypertrophy, and a late proinflammatory and procoagulant response.
2312 15587680 These late pathological effects are mediated by NADPH oxidase-generated oxygen free radicals and NF-k-B activation.

2316 15616014 Hyperglycemia induces monocytic release of interleukin-6 via induction of protein kinase c-{alpha} and -{beta}.
2317 15616014 Interleukin (IL)-6, in addition to inducing the acute-phase response, contributes to insulin resistance.
2318 15616014 Pan-protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors significantly decreased high-glucose-induced IL-6 release.
2319 15616014 A specific inhibitor of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK; SB 202190), but not the extracellular signal-regulated kinase inhibitor PD98059, significantly decreased high-glucose-induced IL-6 release.
2320 15616014 Furthermore, the PKC-alpha/beta2 inhibitor decreased p38MAPK and the resulting high-glucose-induced IL-6 release.
2321 15616014 Both antisense oligos to PKC-beta and -alpha as well as small interfering RNA (siRNA) to PKC-alpha and -beta resulted in significantly decreased high-glucose-induced IL-6 release.
2322 15616014 Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) inhibitors significantly decreased IL-6 mRNA and protein. siRNA to PKC-beta and -alpha also significantly decreased NF-kappaB activity and IL-6 release.
2323 15616014 Thus, IL-6 release from monocytes under hyperglycemia appears to be mediated via upregulation of PKC, through p38MAPK and NF-kappaB, resulting in increased mRNA and protein for IL-6.
2324 15616014 Hyperglycemia induces monocytic release of interleukin-6 via induction of protein kinase c-{alpha} and -{beta}.

2332 15616019 Here, we show that attenuation of NF-kappaB activation in beta-cells generates mice with impaired GSIS, and that the beta-cells show perturbed expression of genes required for glucose uptake, oxidative metabolism, and insulin exocytosis.
2333 15617879 There is intriguing recent evidence that the beta subunit of the signalsome--IKKbeta, a crucial catalyst of NF-kappaB activation--is an obligate mediator of the disruption of insulin signaling induced by excessive exposure of tissues to free fatty acids and by hypertrophy of adipocytes.
2334 15617879 Thus, agents which safely inhibit or suppress the activation of IKKbeta may have utility for reversing insulin resistance syndrome and aiding control of type 2 diabetes.
2335 15617879 In light of the fact that IKKbeta plays a crucial role, not only in the induction of insulin resistance, but also atherogenesis, a host of inflammatory disorders, and the survival and spread of cancer, the development of pharmaceutical agents that could safely and feasibly achieve a down-regulation of IKKbeta activity would have broad therapeutic and preventive implications.

2393 15685170 IKK-beta links inflammation to obesity-induced insulin resistance.
2394 15685170 IkappaB kinase beta (IKK-beta, encoded by Ikbkb) is a central coordinator of inflammatory responses through activation of NF-kappaB.
2395 15685170 To understand the role of IKK-beta in insulin resistance, we used mice lacking this enzyme in hepatocytes (Ikbkb(Deltahep)) or myeloid cells (Ikbkb(Deltamye)).
2396 15685170 Thus, IKK-beta acts locally in liver and systemically in myeloid cells, where NF-kappaB activation induces inflammatory mediators that cause insulin resistance.
2397 15685170 These findings demonstrate the importance of liver cell IKK-beta in hepatic insulin resistance and the central role of myeloid cells in development of systemic insulin resistance.
2398 15685170 We suggest that inhibition of IKK-beta, especially in myeloid cells, may be used to treat insulin resistance.
2399 15685170 IKK-beta links inflammation to obesity-induced insulin resistance.
2400 15685170 IkappaB kinase beta (IKK-beta, encoded by Ikbkb) is a central coordinator of inflammatory responses through activation of NF-kappaB.
2401 15685170 To understand the role of IKK-beta in insulin resistance, we used mice lacking this enzyme in hepatocytes (Ikbkb(Deltahep)) or myeloid cells (Ikbkb(Deltamye)).

2405 15685173 Local and systemic insulin resistance resulting from hepatic activation of IKK-beta and NF-kappaB.
2406 15685173 The hepatic production of proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, IL-1beta and TNF-alpha, was increased in LIKK mice to a similar extent as induced by HFD in in wild-type mice.
2407 15685173 Insulin resistance was improved by systemic neutralization of IL-6 or salicylate inhibition of IKK-beta.
2408 15691626 Of the renin-angiotensin system and reactive oxygen species Type 2 diabetes and angiotensin II inhibition.
2409 15691626 This effect may be explained by a variety of diabetogenic factors, which seem to be moderated by angiotensin II, such as free fatty acids (FFA) and the phenomena of adipocyte differentiation, as well as inflammation and oxidative damage.
2410 15691626 This reduction is potentiated by angiotensin II and consequently insulin-stimulated glucose uptake is improved by RAS inhibition.
2411 15691626 Furthermore, blockade of the angiotensin II AT(1)-receptor has been shown to stimulate the differentiation of adipocytes that store FFAs, which leads to reduced plasma FFA levels and decreased insulin resistance.
2412 15691626 It is thought that FFAs and hyperglycemia increase ROS production and oxidative stress, leading to the activation of signaling molecules such as nuclear factor kappa-B and other mediators of stress-sensitive pathways, which increases insulin resistance and will lead to beta-cell dysfunction and diabetic complications during the longer term.
2413 15718270 Both primary osteoblasts and the MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cell line express the RANTES receptors, CCR1, 3, 4, and 5 (by RT-PCR), which encode functional receptors in osteoblasts as shown by [125I]-RANTES binding followed by Scatchard analysis.
2414 15718270 Expression of all four RANTES receptor mRNAs in osteoblast is in contrast to the reports of expression of CCR1 being the only RANTES receptor expressed by osteoclasts.
2415 15718270 Exogenous RANTES elicits chemotaxis of osteoblasts and promotes cell survival via phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase with attendant phosphorylation of Akt.
2416 15718270 Osteoclastic RANTES, obtained from the conditioned medium of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand-differentiated RAW264.7 cells also induces chemotaxis of MC3T3-E1 cells.
2417 15725700 We found that combined treatment of PPARgamma and cytokines (IL-1 or TNF-alpha) inhibited adipogenesis and induced osteoblastgenesis in bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
2418 15725700 Furthermore, we showed that the ligand dependent transactivation function of PPARgamma was suppressed by IL-1 and TNF-alpha.
2419 15725700 This suppression was mediated through NF-kappaB activated by the TAK1/TAB1-NIK cascade, a downstream cascade triggered with IL-1 or TNF-alpha signaling.
2420 15749853 Heat shock protein 60 inhibits Th1-mediated hepatitis model via innate regulation of Th1/Th2 transcription factors and cytokines.
2421 15749853 Yet, HSP60 can also down-regulate experimental immune arthritis and diabetes models by specific inhibition of Th1-like responses.
2422 15749853 We now report that HSP60 in vitro differentially modulates the expression of Th1/Th2 transcription factors in human T cells: HSP60 down-regulates T-bet, NF-kappaB, and NFATp and up-regulates GATA-3, leading to decreased secretion of TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma and enhanced secretion of IL-10.
2423 15749853 In BALB/c mice, HSP60 in vivo inhibited the clinical, histological, and serological manifestations of Con A-induced hepatitis associated with up-regulated T cell expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 and GATA-3 and down-regulated T-bet expression.

2436 15866483 The aim of this work was to study whether the exposure of skeletal muscle cells to palmitate affected peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) beta/delta activity.
2437 15866483 Here, we report that exposure of C2C12 skeletal muscle cells to 0.75 mM palmitate reduced (74%, P<0.01) the mRNA levels of the PPARbeta/delta-target gene pyruvatedehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK-4), which is involved in fatty acid utilization.
2438 15866483 Increased NF-kappaB activity after palmitate exposure was associated with enhanced protein-protein interaction between PPARbeta/delta and p65.
2439 15866483 These results indicate that palmitate may reduce fatty acid utilization in skeletal muscle cells by reducing PPARbeta/delta signaling through increased NF-kappaB activity.

2444 15871306 Insulin alters nuclear factor-lambdaB and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma protein expression induced by glycated bovine serum albumin in vascular smooth-muscle cells.
2445 15871306 In both type 2 diabetes and insulin-resistance syndromes, hyperglycemia and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) activate the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) through a mechanism that partly involves the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
2446 15871306 In this work we investigated the actions of insulin and PPAR-gamma on the stimulation by AGEs of NF-kappaB protein expression in cultured aortic vascular smooth-muscle cells (VSMCs) from non-insulin-dependent diabetic rats and nondiabetic rats.
2447 15871306 Incubations (24 hours) of VSMCs with 10 to 100 microg/mL glycated bovine serum albumin (AGE- BSA) increased NF-kappaB protein expression in both models.
2448 15871306 In the presence of insulin (10-100 nmol/L), the stimulation of NF-kappaB protein expression by AGE-BSA (100 microg/mL) was decreased, whereas the expression of PPAR-gamma, protein was enhanced. 15-Deoxyprostaglandin J2, a direct activator of PPAR-gamma, decreased AGE-BSA-stimulated NF-kappaB expression.
2449 15871306 These findings suggest that insulin decreases the incidence of alterations in VSMCs induced by AGEs through the reduction of NF-kappaB and an increase in PPAR-gamma protein expression (as far as the model could be extrapolated to in vivo situations).

2479 15888549 Contraction of isolated extensor digitorum longus muscles in vitro increased IKKalpha/beta phosphorylation sevenfold and this was accompanied by a parallel increase in IkappaBalpha phosphorylation.
2480 15888549 Additional kinases that are activated by exercise include p38, extracellular-signal regulated protein kinase (ERK), and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK).
2481 15888549 Inhibitors of p38 (SB-203580) and ERK (U-0126) blunted contraction-mediated IKK phosphorylation by 39 +/- 4% (P = 0.06) and 35 +/- 10% (P = 0.09), respectively, and in combination by 76 +/- 5% (P < 0.05), suggesting that these kinases might influence the activation of IKK and NF-kappaB during exercise.
2482 15888549 In contrast, 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-D-ribofuranoside, an activator of AMPK, had no effect on either IKK or NF-kappaB activity.

2487 15888973 Supershift assays with specific antibodies revealed that p50, but not p52, p65, Rel B, or c-Rel, may be involved in the activation of NF-kappaB, though the component primarily responsible for the increase could not be determined.
2488 15892631 Various studies have confirmed that metals activate signalling pathways and the carcinogenic effect of metals has been related to activation of mainly redox-sensitive transcription factors, involving NF-kappaB, AP-1 and p53.
2489 15896290 Earlier studies indicated that IKKbeta was the key for the development of insulin resistance.
2490 15896290 However, it was unknown whether IKKbeta itself, or its downstream target, NF-kappaB, plays major roles in insulin resistance.
2491 15905055 Consistent with these observations, MEIO potently inhibited the protein and mRNA expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2).
2492 15905055 Furthermore, MEIO inhibited the LPS-induced DNA binding activity of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), and this was associated with the prevention of inhibitor kappaB degradation and a reduction in nuclear p65 protein levels.
2493 15905055 Taken together, our data indicate that the anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive properties of MEIO may be due to the inhibition of iNOS and COX-2 expression via the down-regulation of NF-kappaB binding activity.

2498 15911336 Similarly to other inflammatory conditions, the protective effects of PARP inhibition and the PARP-1 knock out phenotype in asthma models have been attributed to inhibition of inflammatory signal transduction (mainly via NF-kappaB) and of oxidative stress-induced cell dysfunction and tissue injury.

2506 15919807 NAD(P)H oxidase appeared to be involved in these responses, since overexpression of dominant-negative subunits of NAD(P)H oxidase, such as phox47(DN), diminished oxidant stress, and phox67(DN) and N-17 RAC1(DN) prevented the increase in caspase-3 activity.
2507 15919807 Likewise, overexpression of vRAC, a constitutively active RAC1, increased caspase-3 activity to the same extent as palmitate alone.
2508 15919807 Furthermore, inhibition of NF-kappaB activation by various means inhibited caspase-3 activation.

2571 16002729 We analyzed the mechanism whereby isolated islets from ALR mice resisted proinflammatory stress mediated by combined cytokines (IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma) in vitro.
2572 16002729 In contrast to islets from other mouse strains, ALR islets expressed constitutively higher glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, and higher ratios of reduced to oxidized glutathione.
2573 16002729 Western blot analysis showed that combined cytokines up-regulated the NF-kappaB inducible NO synthase in NOD-Rag and C3H/HeJ islets but not in ALR islets.
2574 16002729 This inability of cytokine-treated ALR islets to up-regulate inducible NO synthase and produce NO correlated both with reduced kinetics of IkappaB degradation and with markedly suppressed NF-kappaB p65 nuclear translocation.
2575 16002729 Hence, ALR/Lt islets resist cytokine-induced diabetogenic stress through enhanced dissipation and/or suppressed formation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, impaired IkappaB degradation, and blunted NF-kappaB activation.

2586 16026324 This review focuses on the role of oxidative and nitrosative stress in cardiovascular dysfunction in aging, downstream mechanisms including activation of NF- kappaB, and the role of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) and longevity genes that are linked to regulation of cellular redox status and oxidative stress resistance (p66(shc), sirtuins, FOXO transcription factors).
2587 16027122 Toll-like receptor 3 and STAT-1 contribute to double-stranded RNA+ interferon-gamma-induced apoptosis in primary pancreatic beta-cells.
2588 16027122 Moreover, dsRNA induces TLR3 mRNA expression and activates NF-kappaB and the IFN-beta promoter in a TRIF-dependent manner. dsRNA also induces an early (1 h) and sustained increase in IFN-beta mRNA expression, and blocking IFN-beta with a specific antibody partially prevents PIC plus IFN-gamma-induced beta-cell death.
2589 16027122 On the other hand, dsRNA plus IFN-gamma does not induce apoptosis in INS-1E cells, and expression of TLR3 and type I IFNs mRNAs is not detected in these cells.
2590 16027122 Of note, disruption of the STAT-1 signaling pathway protects beta-cells against dsRNA plus IFN-gamma-induced beta-cell apoptosis.
2591 16027122 This study suggests that dsRNA plus IFN-gamma triggers beta-cell apoptosis by two complementary pathways, namely TLR3-TRIF-NF-kappaB and STAT-1.

2600 16046410 Expression of an uncleavable N-terminal RasGAP fragment in insulin-secreting cells increases their resistance toward apoptotic stimuli without affecting their glucose-induced insulin secretion.
2601 16046410 RasGAP, a regulator of Ras and Rho GTPases, is an atypical caspase substrate, since it inhibits, rather than favors, apoptosis when it is partially cleaved by caspase-3 at position 455.
2602 16046410 The antiapoptotic signal generated by the partial processing of RasGAP is mediated by the N-terminal fragment (fragment N) in a Ras-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-Akt-dependent, but NF-kappaB-independent, manner.
2603 16046410 Here we demonstrate that an uncleavable form of fragment N activates Akt, represses NF-kappaB activity, and protects the conditionally immortalized pancreatic insulinoma betaTC-tet cell line against various insults, including exposure to genotoxins, trophic support withdrawal, and incubation with inflammatory cytokines.

2611 16154537 IFN-gamma sensitizes MIN6N8 insulinoma cells to TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis by inhibiting NF-kappaB-mediated XIAP upregulation.
2612 16154537 Here, we found that: (i) XIAP level was inversely correlated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-induced apoptosis in MIN6N8 insulinoma cells; (ii) adenoviral XIAP overexpression abrogated the TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis through inhibition of caspase activity; (iii) downregulation of XIAP by antisense oligonucleotide or Smac peptide sensitized MIN6N8 cells to TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis; (iv) XIAP expression was induced by TNF-alpha through a nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB)-dependent pathway, and interferon (IFN)-gamma prevented such an induction in a manner independent of NF-kappaB, which presents a potential mechanism underlying cytotoxic IFN-gamma/TNF-alpha synergism.
2613 16154537 Taken together, our results suggest that XIAP is an important modulator of TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis of MIN6N8 cells, and XIAP regulation in pancreatic beta-cells might play an important role in pancreatic beta-cell apoptosis and in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes.

2617 16174286 We investigated the effect of aldosterone and spironolactone, which is a non-selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, on monocyte chemoattractant peptide (MCP-1) and collagen synthesis in cultured mesangial and tubular epithelial cells.
2618 16174286 However, spironolactone therapy significantly inhibited urinary albumin and MCP-1 excretion.
2619 16174286 Spironolactone treatment also suppressed renal mRNA expression for MCP-1, macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) as well as intrarenal protein synthesis for ED-1 and MIF.
2620 16174286 Morphologically, spironolactone treatment significantly prevented glomerulosclerosis, collagen deposition and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression in diabetic rats.
2621 16174286 In cultured cell experiments, aldosterone directly increased the MCP-1, collagen secretion and spironolactone treatment abolished aldosterone-induced MCP-1 and collagen synthesis.
2622 16174286 In addition, prior treatment with pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), which is a NF-KB inhibitor, inhibited aldosterone-induced MCP-1 protein secretion.
2623 16177002 Treatment with MTX reduced urinary albumin excretion, mesangial matrix expansion, macrophage infiltration, expression of TGF-beta and type IV collagen, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 in glomeruli.
2624 16177002 The protective effects of MTX are suggested to be mediated by its anti-inflammatory actions through inhibition of NF-kappaB activation and consequent reduction of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression and macrophage infiltration.

2641 16214938 STAT5 activation by human GH protects insulin-producing cells against interleukin-1beta, interferon-gamma and tumour necrosis factor-alpha-induced apoptosis independent of nitric oxide production.
2642 16214938 The proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) are toxic to pancreatic beta-cells and are implicated in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes.
2643 16214938 We have previously found that GH and prolactin (PRL) stimulate both proliferation and insulin production in pancreatic beta-cells and rat insulin-producing INS-1 cells.
2644 16214938 Here we report that human (h) GH can prevent the apoptotic effects of IL-1beta, IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha in INS-1 and INS-1E cells.
2645 16214938 In order to identify possible targets for the STAT5-mediated protection of INS-1E cells, we studied the effect of hGH on activation of the transcription factors STAT1 and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) by IFN-gamma and IL-1beta+TNF-alpha respectively.
2646 16214938 Gel retardation experiments showed that hGH affects neither IFN-gamma+TNF-alpha-induced STAT1 DNA binding nor IL-1beta and IFN-gamma+TNF-alpha-induced NFkappaB DNA binding.
2647 16214938 The lack of influence of hGH on cytokine-mediated activation of STAT1 and NFkappaB is in accordance with the finding that hGH had only a minor effect on cytokine-induced inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expression and in fact augmented the IL-1beta-stimulated nitric oxide production.
2648 16214938 As the anti-apoptotic Bcl-xL gene has been shown to harbour a STAT5-binding element we measured the expression of Bcl-xL as well as the pro-apoptotic Bax.
2649 16214938 We found that hGH increased the Bcl-xL/Bax ratio both in the absence and in the presence of cytotoxic cytokines.
2650 16214938 In conclusion, these results suggested that GH and PRL protect beta-cells against cytotoxic cytokines via STAT5-dependent mechanisms distal to iNOS activation possibly at the level of Bcl-xL.
2651 16246168 Accompanying this general protein synthesis control, eIF2 phosphorylation induces translation of specific mRNAs, such as that encoding the bZIP (basic leucine zipper) transcriptional regulator ATF4 (activating transcription factor 4).
2652 16246168 ATF4 also enhances the expression of additional transcription factors, ATF3 and CHOP (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein)/GADD153 (growth arrest and DNA-damage-inducible protein), that assist in the regulation of genes involved in metabolism, the redox status of the cells and apoptosis.
2653 16246168 Reduced translation by eIF2 phosphorylation can also lead to activation of stress-related transcription factors, such as NF-kappaB (nuclear factor kappaB), by lowering the steady-state levels of short-lived regulatory proteins such as IkappaB (inhibitor of NF-kappaB).
2654 16246168 Mice devoid of the eIF2 kinase GCN2 [general control non-derepressible-2 or EIF2AK4 (eIF2alpha kinase 4)] show sensitivity to nutritional deficiencies and aberrant eating behaviours, and deletion of PEK [pancreatic eIF2alpha kinase or PERK (RNA-dependent protein kinase-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase) or EIF2AK3] leads to neonatal insulin-dependent diabetes, epiphyseal dysplasia and hepatic and renal complications.
2655 16246324 The objective of the present study was to test the hypothesis that disrupted nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB)-regulated cyclin D1 signaling may explain dose-dependent impaired tissue repair in the thioacetamide-treated diabetic rats.

2671 16249450 It has been recently suggested that high glucose-induced beta-cell apoptosis in type 2 diabetes shares a final common pathway with type 1 diabetes, involving interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) production by beta-cells, nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation, and death via Fas-FasL.
2672 16249450 The aim of this study was to test whether human islet exposure to high glucose in vitro, or to the type 2 diabetes environment in vivo, induces IL-1beta expression and consequent activation of NF-kappaB-dependent genes.
2673 16249450 Culture of the human islets at 11 and 28 mmol/l glucose induced a four- to fivefold increase in medium insulin as compared with 5.6 mmol/l glucose, but neither IL-1beta nor IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) expression changed.

2699 16283526 Using Ikkbeta gene knockout mouse embryonic fibroblast cells (Ikkbeta-/-), in the present study we demonstrated that NF-kappaB inhibition due to Ikkbeta deficiency up-regulated basal and arsenic-induced expression of gadd45alpha.
2700 16283526 In addition to gadd45alpha, the basal expression of other gadd family members including gadd45beta, gadd45gamma and gadd153 was substantially increased in Ikkbeta-/- cells.
2701 16283526 Ikkbeta deficiency prevented the induction of gadd45beta and gadd45gamma by arsenic, whereas the induction of gadd45alpha and gadd153 was appreciably enhanced in Ikkbeta-/- cells.
2702 16283526 Furthermore, a substantial decrease in the expression of c-myc, an established endogenous transcriptional repressor of gadd45alpha and gadd153 genes, was noted.
2703 16306347 In the insulitis lesion in type 1 diabetes, invading immune cells produce cytokines, such as IL-1beta, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and interferon (IFN)-gamma.
2704 16306347 IL-1beta and/or TNF-alpha plus IFN-gamma induce beta-cell apoptosis via the activation of beta-cell gene networks under the control of the transcription factors NF-kappaB and STAT-1.
2705 16306347 High glucose, however, does not induce or activate IL-1beta, NF-kappaB, or inducible nitric oxide synthase in rat or human beta-cells in vitro or in vivo in Psammomys obesus.
2706 16306347 Thus, cytokines and nutrients trigger beta-cell death by fundamentally different mechanisms, namely an NF-kappaB-dependent mechanism that culminates in caspase-3 activation for cytokines and an NF-kappaB-independent mechanism for nutrients.

2715 16306362 FFA-induced hepatic insulin resistance was associated with increased hepatic diacylglycerol content (+210%), increased activities of two serine/threonine kinases (protein kinase C-delta and inhibitor of kappaB [IkappaB] kinase-beta), increased activation of the proinflammatory nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) pathway (IkappaB kinase-beta, +640%; IkappaB-alpha, -54%; and NF-kappaB, +73%), and increased expression of inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-alpha, +1,700% and interleukin-1beta, +440%) and plasma levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (+220%).
2716 16306813 We have recently demonstrated that Punica granatum flower (PGF), a Unani anti-diabetic medicine, is a dual activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-alpha and -gamma, and improves hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and fatty heart in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rat, a genetic animal model of type 2 diabetes and obesity.
2717 16306813 Here, we demonstrated that six-week treatment with PGF extract (500 mg/kg, p.o.) in Zucker diabetic fatty rats reduced the ratios of van Gieson-stained interstitial collagen deposit area to total left ventricular area and perivascular collagen deposit areas to coronary artery media area in the heart.
2718 16306813 This was accompanied by suppression of overexpressed cardiac fibronectin and collagen I and III mRNAs.
2719 16306813 Punica granatum flower extract reduced the up-regulated cardiac mRNA expression of ET-1, ETA, inhibitor-kappaBbeta and c-jun, and normalized the down-regulated mRNA expression of inhibitor-kappaBalpha in Zucker diabetic fatty rats.
2720 16306813 Our findings indicate that Punica granatum flower extract diminishes cardiac fibrosis in Zucker diabetic fatty rats, at least in part, by modulating cardiac ET-1 and NF-kappaB signaling.
2721 16331857 In most cells, TNF mediates its effects through activation of caspases, NF-kappaB, AP-1, c-jun N-terminal kinase, p38 MAPK, and p44/p42 MAPK.
2722 16387689 Modern science has revealed that curcumin mediates its effects by modulation of several important molecular targets, including transcription factors (e.g., NF-kappaB, AP-1, Egr-1, beta-catenin, and PPAR-gamma), enzymes (e.g., COX2, 5-LOX, iNOS, and hemeoxygenase-1), cell cycle proteins (e.g., cyclin D1 and p21), cytokines (e.g., TNF, IL-1, IL-6, and chemokines), receptors (e.g., EGFR and HER2), and cell surface adhesion molecules.
2723 16387690 On activation, NF-kappaB regulates the expression of almost 400 different genes, which include enzymes (e.g., COX-2, 5-LOX, and iNOS), cytokines (such as TNF, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, and chemokines), adhesion molecules, cell cycle regulatory molecules, viral proteins, and angiogenic factors.
2724 16387690 Several agents are known to suppress NF-kappaB activation, including Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-13, and IL-10), interferons, endocrine hormones (LH, HCG, MSH, and GH), phytochemicals, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive agents.

2745 16475830 Inhibition of apolipoprotein AI gene expression by tumor necrosis factor alpha: roles for MEK/ERK and JNK signaling.
2746 16475830 Plasma high-density lipoprotein and apolipoprotein AI (apoAI) levels are suppressed by tumor necrosis factor alpha.
2747 16475830 Exogenous ERK1 and ERK2 expression suppressed basal apoAI promoter activity; however, only ERK2 enhanced the ability of TNF alpha to suppress apoAI promoter activity.
2748 16475830 Exogenous expression of all three MEK isoforms (MEK1, MEK2A, and MEK2E) suppressed basal apoAI promoter activity and further aggravated TNF alpha-related apoAI promoter activity inhibition.
2749 16475830 Treatment with SB202190 (p38 MAP kinase inhibitor) alone significantly increased apoAI promoter activity; however, in the presence of TNF alpha, apoAI promoter activity was suppressed to an extent similar to that in cells not treated with SB202190.
2750 16475830 ApoAI promoter activity increased in cells treated with the specific JNK inhibitor SP600125, but unlike SB202190 treatment, the level of TNF alpha-related apoAI promoter inhibition was reduced by 50%.
2751 16475830 Similarly, the level of TNF alpha-related apoAI promoter inhibition was reduced in cells transfected with JNK1 siRNA.

2763 16497732 Coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase-1 (CARM1) is known to enhance transcriptional activation by nuclear receptors through interactions with the coactivators p160 and cAMP response element binding protein-binding protein (CBP) and methylation of histone H3 at arginine 17 (H3-R17).
2764 16497732 Here, we show that CARM1 can act as a coactivator for the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and enhance NF-kappaB activity in a CBP (p300)-dependent manner.

2848 16543409 Suppressor of cytokine Signaling-3 inhibits interleukin-1 signaling by targeting the TRAF-6/TAK1 complex.
2849 16543409 IL-1 plays a major role in inflammation and autoimmunity through activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NFkappaB) and MAPKs.
2850 16543409 Although a great deal is known about the mechanism of activation of NFkappaB and MAPKs by IL-1, much less is known about the down-regulation of this pathway.
2851 16543409 Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)-3 was shown to inhibit IL-1-induced transcription and activation of NFkappaB and the MAPKs JNK and p38, but the mechanism is unknown.
2852 16543409 We show here that SOCS-3 inhibits NFkappaB-dependent transcription induced by overexpression of the upstream IL-1 signaling molecules MyD88, IL-1R-activated kinase 1, TNF receptor-associated factor (TRAF)6, and TGFbeta-activated kinase (TAK)1, but not when the MAP3K MAPK/ERK kinase kinase-1 is used instead of TAK1, indicating that the target for SOCS-3 is the TRAF6/TAK1 signaling complex.
2853 16543409 By coimmunoprecipitation, it was shown that SOCS-3 inhibited the association between TRAF6 and TAK1 and that SOCS-3 coimmunoprecipitated with TAK1 and TRAF6.
2854 16543409 Furthermore, SOCS-3 inhibited the IL-1-induced catalytic activity of TAK1.
2855 16543409 Because ubiquitination of TRAF6 is required for activation of TAK1, we analyzed the role of SOCS-3 on TRAF6 ubiquitination and found that SOCS-3 inhibited ubiquitin modification of TRAF6.
2856 16543409 These results indicate that SOCS-3 inhibits IL-1 signal transduction by inhibiting ubiquitination of TRAF6, thus preventing association and activation of TAK1.
2857 16549048 Dehydroepiandrosterone inhibited the bone resorption through the upregulation of OPG/RANKL.
2858 16549048 Having isolated and cultured osteoblasts (OBs) and osteoclasts (OCs), we analysed the effect of DHEA on osteoblastic viability, regulation of DHEA on the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG)/receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) mRNA in OBs, and then observed the action of DHEA on bone resorption of OCs in the presence or absence of OBs.
2859 16549048 DHEA could apparently increase the ratio of OPG/RANKL mRNA in OBs.
2860 16549048 We concluded, therefore, only in the presence of OBs, DHEA could inhibit the bone resorption of OCs, which may be mediated by OPG/RANKL of OBs.

2869 16556731 These results suggest that cytokine-induced NF-kappaB activation in insulin-producing cells is more rapid, marked, and sustained than in fibroblasts, which correlates with a more pronounced activation of downstream genes and a proapoptotic outcome.

2929 16600694 Aspirin and PPAR-alpha activators inhibit monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 expression induced by high glucose concentration in human endothelial cells.
2930 16600694 Since accelerated atherosclerosis is the main complication of diabetes and both diseases encompass an inflammatory reaction, we hypothesized that the anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR-alpha) activators (fenofibrate and clofibrate), could have an effect on the high glucose-induced MCP-1 expression in endothelial cells.
2931 16600694 To test this assumption, as well as the possible mechanisms involved, the MCP-1 expression and secretion, the reactive oxygen species levels, nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) and activator protein-1 (AP-1) expression were determined in human endothelial cells exposed to high glucose concentrations in the presence of aspirin, fenofibrate and clofibrate.
2932 16600694 The results showed that (i) aspirin, fenofibrate and clofibrate decrease significantly the MCP-1 expression and secretion in human endothelial cells; (ii) the high glucose up-regulated expression of MCP-1 in endothelial cells was significantly reduced by inhibitors of NF-kB and reactive oxygen species; (iii) all drugs notably decrease the level of the reactive oxygen species and activation of NF-kB and AP-1.
2933 16600694 Together, the findings indicate that in endothelial cells aspirin and PPAR-alpha activators reduce the high glucose-increased expression of MCP-1 by a mechanism that includes the inhibition of reactive oxygen species, and decrease of AP-1 and NF-kB activation.

2944 16613757 In obesity, WAT is characterized by an increased production and secretion of a wide range of inflammatory molecules including TNF-alpha and interleukin-6 (IL-6), which may have local effects on WAT physiology but also systemic effects on other organs.
2945 16613757 Most of them are overproduced during obesity, including leptin, TNF-alpha, IL-6 and resistin.
2946 16613757 Conversely, expression and plasma levels of adiponectin, an insulin-sensitising effector, are down-regulated during obesity.
2947 16613757 Leptin could modulate TNF-alpha production and macrophage activation.
2948 16613757 TNF-alpha is overproduced in adipose tissue of several rodent models of obesity and has an important role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance in these species.
2949 16613757 Both TNF-alpha and IL-6 can alter insulin sensitivity by triggering different key steps in the insulin signalling pathway.
2950 16613757 In rodents, resistin can induce insulin resistance, while its implication in the control of insulin sensitivity is still a matter of debate in humans.
2951 16613757 Adiponectin is highly expressed in WAT, and circulating adiponectin levels are decreased in subjects with obesity-related insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease.
2952 16613757 In addition, adiponectin counteracts the pro-inflammatory effects of TNF-alpha on the arterial wall and probably protects against the development of arteriosclerosis.
2953 16613757 In obesity, the pro-inflammatory effects of cytokines through intracellular signalling pathways involve the NF-kappaB and JNK systems.
2954 16631800 We used an animal model of unilateral ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury to streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic nerve to evaluate the density and localization of mediators of the inflammatory response using selective immunolabeling methods (for nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), cytokines and inflammatory cells).

2958 16641887 Pyruvic acid, an intermediate metabolite of glucose, an effective scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS), inhibits tumor necrosis factor-alpha production and NF-kappaB signaling pathways, reduces circulating levels of HMGB1 (high mobility group B1), decreases COX-2 (cyclo-oxygenase-2), iNOS (inducible nitric oxide synthase), and IL-6 (interleukin-6) mRNA expression in liver, ileal mucosa, and colonic mucosa in animal models with endotoxemia.
2959 16641887 This suggests that in metabolic syndrome X, obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cancer (where insulin resistance is common due to enhanced TNF-alpha production) pyruvate plays a role.

2962 16687627 Exposure to GA (up to 0.5 mg/ml) but not the equivalent dose of neat albumin significantly upregulated both mRNA and protein expression of IL-8 and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) in a dose- and time-dependent manner.
2963 16687627 Using immunohistochemistry, ICAM-1 signals were detected in the tubular epithelia and peritubular capillaries in association with AGE deposition and leukocyte infiltration, whereas IL-8 staining was localized in the tubular epithelia of human diabetic kidney biopsies.

2979 16707486 Pigment epithelium-derived factor inhibits advanced glycation end product-induced retinal vascular hyperpermeability by blocking reactive oxygen species-mediated vascular endothelial growth factor expression.
2980 16707486 Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is the most potent inhibitor of angiogenesis, suggesting that loss of PEDF contributes to proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
2981 16707486 Intravenous administration of AGEs to normal rats not only increased retinal vascular permeability by stimulating vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression but also decreased retinal PEDF levels.
2982 16707486 Simultaneous treatments with PEDF inhibited the AGE-elicited VEGF-mediated permeability by down-regulating mRNA levels of p22(phox) and gp91(phox), membrane components of NADPH oxidase, and subsequently decreasing retinal levels of an oxidative stress marker, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine.
2983 16707486 PEDF also inhibited the AGE-induced vascular hyperpermeability evaluated by transendothelial electrical resistance by suppressing VEGF expression.
2984 16707486 Furthermore, PEDF decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in AGE-exposed endothelial cells by suppressing NADPH oxidase activity via down-regulation of mRNA levels of p22(PHOX) and gp91(PHOX).
2985 16707486 This led to blockade of the AGE-elicited Ras activation and NF-kappaB-dependent VEGF gene induction in endothelial cells.
2986 16707486 These results indicate that the central mechanism for PEDF inhibition of the AGE signaling to vascular permeability is by suppression of NADPH oxidase-mediated ROS generation and subsequent VEGF expression.
2987 16728431 Expression of TLR3 and TLR5 was significantly higher in newly diabetic non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice when compared with pre-diabetic and control strains of mice.
2988 16728431 Dysregulation of TLR4 expression in the diabetic state correlated with increased nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) activation in response to the TLR4 ligand LPS and higher expression of IL-12p40, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), IL-6 and inducible nitric oxide synthase but lowered expression of IL-10.
2989 16728431 Exposure of bone marrow precursor cells from NOD mice to a hyperglycemic environment during differentiation into macrophages resulted in elevated levels of TLR2 and TLR4 and the cytokine TNFalpha.

3052 16870158 PARP-1 overactivation and the subsequent extensive turnover of its substrate NAD+ put a large demand on mitochondrial ATP-production.
3053 16870158 Furthermore, due to its reported role in NF-kappaB and AP-1 mediated production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, PARP-1 is considered an interesting target in the treatment of these diseases.

3105 16954185 Advanced glycation end product (AGE) receptor 1 suppresses cell oxidant stress and activation signaling via EGF receptor.
3106 16954185 Overexpression of AGER1 in murine mesangial cells (MCs) (MC-R1) inhibited AGE-induced MAPK1,2 phosphorylation and NF-kappaB activity and also increased AGE degradation.
3107 16954185 AGE-induced Ras activation was found to be linked to Shc/Grb2 complex formation and Shc phosphorylation in MCs, responses that were markedly reduced in MC-R1 cells.
3108 16954185 AGE responses also included EGF receptor (EGFR) phosphorylation in MCs or HEK293 cells, but this link was blocked in both MC-R1 and HEK293-R1 cells.
3109 16954185 Coexpression of AGER1 and EGFR in HEK293 cells decreased AGE-mediated EGFR and p44/p42 phosphorylation but not EGF-induced p44/p42 activation.
3110 16954185 AGE, S100/calgranulin, or H(2)O(2) promoted MAPK phosphorylation in EGFR(+) cells in a manner that was inhibitable by an EGFR inhibitor, AG1478.
3111 16954185 Also, in AGER1 cells, AGE-induced H(2)O(2) formation and AGE- or S100-induced p44/p42 phosphorylation were suppressed, and these effects were restored by R1 siRNA.

3116 17003343 Previous studies have reported that insulin-resistant states are characterized by a reduction in the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator (PGC)-1, a transcriptional activator that promotes oxidative capacity in skeletal muscle cells.
3117 17003343 We report that exposure of C2C12 skeletal muscle cells to 0.75 mmol/l palmitate, but not oleate, reduced PGC-1alpha mRNA levels (66%; P < 0.001), whereas PGC-1beta expression was not affected.
3118 17003343 Palmitate led to mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) 1/2 (MEK1/2) activation.
3119 17003343 In addition, pharmacological inhibition of this pathway by coincubation of the palmitate-exposed cells with the MEK1/2 inhibitors PD98059 and U0126 prevented the downregulation of PGC-1alpha.
3120 17003343 Furthermore, nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation was also involved in palmitate-mediated PGC-1alpha downregulation, since the NF-kappaB inhibitor parthenolide prevented a decrease in PGC-1alpha expression.
3121 17003343 These findings indicate that palmitate reduces PGC-1alpha expression in skeletal muscle cells through a mechanism involving MAPK-ERK and NF-kappaB activation.

3132 17064973 The predominant apoptotic pathway induced by CML-collagen involved caspase-8 activation of caspase-3 and was independent of NF-kappaB activation.

3362 17324929 Glutaredoxin regulates nuclear factor kappa-B and intercellular adhesion molecule in Müller cells: model of diabetic retinopathy.
3363 17324929 Also, incubation of rat retinal Müller cells (rMC-1) in normal glucose (5 mm) or diabetic-like glucose (25 mm) medium led to selective upregulation of GRx in contrast to thioredoxin, the other thioldisulfide oxidoreductase system.
3364 17324929 Under analogous conditions, NF-kappaB (p50-p65) translocated to the nucleus, and expression of ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule-1), a transcriptional product of NF-kappaB, increased.
3365 17324929 To evaluate the role of GRx in mediating these changes, intracellular GRx content and activity in rMC-1 cells were increased independently under normal glucose via infection with an adenoviral GRx1 construct (Ad-GRx). rMC-1 cells exhibited adenovirus concentration-dependent increases in GRx and corresponding increases in NF-kappaB nuclear translocation, NF-kappaB luciferase reporter activity, and ICAM-1 expression.

3386 17327424 Feeding a c9,t11-CLA-enriched diet reduced fasting glucose (P < 0.05), insulin (P < 0.05), and triacylglycerol concentrations (P < 0.01) and increased adipose tissue plasma membrane GLUT4 (P < 0.05) and insulin receptor (P < 0.05) expression compared with the control linoleic acid-enriched diet.
3387 17327424 Interestingly, after the c9,t11-CLA diet, adipose tissue macrophage infiltration was less, with marked downregulation of several inflammatory markers in adipose tissue, including reduced tumor necrosis factor-alpha and CD68 mRNA (P < 0.05), nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) p65 expression (P < 0.01), NF-kappaB DNA binding (P < 0.01), and NF-kappaB p65, p50, c-Rel, p52, and RelB transcriptional activity (P < 0.01).
3388 17327424 To define whether these observations were direct effects of the nutrient intervention, complimentary cell culture studies showed that c9,t11-CLA inhibited tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced downregulation of insulin receptor substrate 1 and GLUT4 mRNA expression and promoted insulin-stimulated glucose transport in 3T3-L1 adipocytes compared with linoleic acid.

3390 17327432 These inhibitory effects may be exerted via inhibition of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation, as LR-90 suppressed both S100b-and tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced IkappaB-alpha degradation as well as NF-kappaB promoter transcriptional activity.

3459 17467667 Palmitic acid induces IP-10 expression in human macrophages via NF-kappaB activation.
3460 17467667 Palmitic acid (PA), the predominant saturated FFA released from adipose tissue, but not unsaturated FFA, induced an approximately 6-fold (p<0.05) increase in IP-10 gene expression (and 2- to 4-fold increases in IL-8, MCP-1, COX-2, and MIG).
3461 17467667 PA also induced an approximately 2-fold increase (p<0.05) in active NF-kappaB, and two structurally distinct NF-kappaB inhibitors effectively blocked PA-induced IP-10 gene expression.
3462 17467667 These results suggest that elevated concentrations of PA commonly present in obese and insulin resistant individuals can increase NF-kappaB-mediated expression of IP-10 in macrophages.

3471 17491679 Is a new immune response mediator in the NF-kappaB pathway--SUMO-4--related to type 1 diabetes?
3472 17491711 The apoptotic program is activated by the utilization of the Fas/Fas-ligand (FasL) axis in the interrelation of T and beta-cells.
3473 17491711 Glucose is a regulator of Fas expression on human beta-cells and elevated glucose levels may contribute to accelerated beta-cell destruction by constitutively expressed FasL independently of the autoimmune reaction.
3474 17491711 The prevention of cytokine-induced gene expression of several NF-kappaB targets, such as inducible nitric oxide synthase, Fas, and manganese superoxide dismutase can prevent beta-cell death.
3475 17494630 These pathways, which may be activated simultaneously or selectively, elevate [Ca(2+)](i), activate Src and the ERK1/2 kinase pathways, and activate phosphoinositide 3-kinase and protein kinase B (Akt), NF-kappaB, and reactive oxygen species.
3476 17495249 Thymosin beta-4 and the eye: I can see clearly now the pain is gone.
3477 17495249 Evidence is mounting to support the idea that thymosin beta-4 (Tbeta-4) has multiple, seemingly diverse, cellular functions.
3478 17495249 Recently, we demonstrated that Tbeta-4 suppresses the activation of the transcription factor, nuclear factor-kappa b (NF-kappaB) in TNF-alpha-stimulated cells.
3479 17495249 TNF-alpha initiates cell signaling pathways that converge on the activation of NF-kappaB, thus both are known mediators of the inflammatory process.

3483 17495249 TNF-alpha initiates cell signaling pathways that converge on the activation of NF-kappaB, thus both are known mediators of the inflammatory process.
3484 17496212 In this report, evidence is provided demonstrating that treatment with TNF-alpha (10 ng/ml) suppresses not only eNOS expression but also the availability of arginine via the coordinate suppression of argininosuccinate synthase (AS) expression in aortic endothelial cells.
3485 17496212 Reporter gene analysis demonstrated that TNF-alpha suppresses the AS proximal promoter, and EMSA analysis showed reduced binding to three essential Sp1 elements.
3486 17496212 Inhibitor studies suggested that the repression of AS expression by TNF-alpha may be mediated, in part, via the NF-kappaB signaling pathway.
3487 17496212 These findings demonstrate that TNF-alpha coordinately downregulates eNOS and AS expression, resulting in a severely impaired citrulline-NO cycle.

3504 17541845 Effect of iNOS and NF-kappaB gene silencing on beta-cell survival and function.
3505 17560613 Since the crosstalk between the AGEs-RAGE and the renin-angiotensin system has also been proposed in the pathogenesis of PDR, we investigated here whether olmesartan, an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker, inhibited the AGEs-elicited angiogenesis in vitro by suppressing the NF-kappaB-mediated RAGE expression.
3506 17569208 In this chapter, we briefly review the effects of curcumin on transcription factors NF-KB, AP-1, Egr-1, STATs, PPAR-gamma, beta-catenin, nrf2, EpRE, p53, CBP, and androgen receptor (AR) and AR-related cofactors giving major emphasis to the molecular mechanisms of its action.
3507 17569223 Curcumin inhibits these autoimmune diseases by regulating inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-12, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma and associated JAK-STAT, AP-1, and NF-kappaB signaling pathways in immune cells.
3508 17573556 The central mechanisms of IAP apoptotic suppression appear to be through direct caspase and pro-caspase inhibition (primarily caspase 3 and 7) and modulation of, and by, the transcription factor NF-kappaB.
3509 17612969 ED1 positive cells, ICAM-1 and VEGF levels were significantly higher in diabetic SHR in both prehypertensive and hypertensive ages (p < 0.005).

3512 17643414 Flavone as PARP-1 inhibitor: its effect on lipopolysaccharide induced gene-expression.
3513 17643414 The nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) which was initially known for its role in the repair of oxidative stress-induced DNA damage, has also been reported to play a mediating role in the inflammatory response.
3514 17643414 Studies with PARP-1 knockout models have shown that PARP-1 is a co-activator of Nuclear Factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB), although this appears not to require its enzyme activity.
3515 17643414 In addition, drug-induced inhibition of the enzyme activity of PARP-1 was observed to reduce the production of pro-inflammatory mediators.
3516 17643414 In this study, the flavonoid compound flavone was demonstrated to significantly inhibit the enzyme activity of PARP-1.
3517 17643414 PARP-1 inhibition could have beneficial effects in such diseases as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and diabetes, by preservation of cellular NAD(+) levels and attenuating inflammatory conditions.
3518 17653206 Increased production of ROS, mainly from mitochondria and NAD(P)H oxidase, stimulates signaling cascades including protein kinase C and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway leading to nuclear translocation of transcription factors such as nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), activator protein 1, and specificity protein 1.
3519 17653206 Most important to clinical practice, a number of drugs commonly used in the treatment of diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, AT(1) receptor blockers, 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), and thiazolidindiones have shown promising 'preventive' intracellular antioxidant activity in addition to their primary pharmacological actions.
3520 17654442 It is initially related to the effects of fatty acids and insulin resistance on 'uncoupling' of both endothelial nitric oxide synthase activity and mitochondrial function.
3521 17654442 Oxidative stress activates protein kinase C (PKC), polyol, hexosamine and nuclear factor kappa B pathways, thereby aggravating endothelial dysfunction.

3643 17912472 However, treatment of RIN cells with RAE protected the IL-1beta and IFN-gamma- mediated viability and proliferation reduction in a concentration-dependent manner.
3644 17912472 Incubation with RAE also resulted in significant suppression of IL-1beta and IFN-gamma-induced nitric oxide (NO) production, and this reduction was correlated with reduced levels of mRNA and protein associated with the inducible form of NO synthase (iNOS).
3645 17912472 The molecular mechanism by which RAE inhibited iNOS gene expression appeared to involve the inhibition of NF-kappaB activation as a result of RAE's suppression of IL-1beta and IFN-gamma-induced IkappaBalpha degradation.
3646 17912472 The protective effects of RAE were verified via the observation of reduced NO generation and iNOS expression, as well as the observation of normal insulin-secretion responses to glucose in IL-1beta and IFN-gamma-treated rat islets.

3659 17955498 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, the activation of nuclear transcription factors such as nuclear factor kappa B (NFkappaB) and activator protein-1 (AP-1), and the expression/production of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGFbeta(1)) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were evaluated in the presence or absence of ASX.
3660 17981625 Each of these can lead to aberrant cell signalling that affects innate immunity for example, by activating the MAP kinase pathway or inducing activation of transcription factors such as NF-kappaB.
3661 17981625 These complications are frequently associated with increased expression of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IL-1beta and IL-6 and enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species.

3668 18049445 Acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase as possible markers of low-grade systemic inflammation.
3669 18049445 Plasma levels of C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and lipid peroxides are high whereas those of endothelial nitric oxide are low in insulin resistance, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemias, metabolic syndrome X, and Alzheimer's disease suggesting that these diseases are characterized by low-grade systemic inflammation.
3670 18049445 Recent studies showed that the plasma and tissue activities of enzymes butyrylcholinesterase and acetylcholinesterase are elevated in patients with Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes mellitus, hypertension, insulin resistance, and hyperlipidemia.
3671 18049445 As a result of this increase in the activities of enzymes acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase, the plasma and tissue levels of acetylcholine (ACh) will be low.
3672 18049445 The "cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway" mediated by acetylcholine acts by inhibiting the production of tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-1, macrophage migration inhibitory factor, and high mobility group box-1 and suppresses the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B expression.
3673 18049445 Hence, both acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase by inactivating acetylcholine may enhance inflammation.
3674 18049445 This suggests that increased plasma and tissue activities of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase seen in various clinical conditions could serve as a marker of low-grade systemic inflammation.

3858 18593820 The TNF-alpha treatment was thought to activate c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and NF-kappaB inflammatory signals, since TNF-alpha increased phospho-JNK and phospho-p38 and reduced I kappaB levels.
3859 18593820 Overexpression of MEKK3, a possible mediator from the TNF-alpha receptor to the JNK/p38 and NK-kappaB signaling cascade, increased the levels of phospho-JNK, phospho-p38, and NF-kappaB, and reduced the glucose-stimulated Ca(2)(+) influx and GSIS.
3860 18593820 The reduction of the Ca(2)(+) influx and GSIS in MEKK3-overexpressing INS-1 cells was also prevented by inhibitors of JNK, p38, and NF-kappaB.
3861 18593820 These data demonstrate that TNF-alpha inhibits GSIS by reducing the glucose-stimulated Ca(2)(+) influx, possibly through the activation of JNK and p38 MAPK and NF-kappaB inflammatory signals.

3864 18596725 Treatment increased adiponectin and PPARgamma expression along with intracellular triglyceride levels reflecting differentiation of the cultured adipocytes.

3913 18716665 The transcription factor Activator Protein-1 (AP-1) is a key regulator of inflammation and apoptosis.
3914 18716665 We presently evaluated the function of the AP-1 subunit JunB in cytokine-mediated beta-cell dysfunction and death.
3915 18716665 The cytokines IL-1beta+IFN-gamma induced an early and transitory upregulation of JunB by NF-kappaB activation.
3916 18716665 Knockdown of JunB by RNA interference increased cytokine-mediated expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers, leading to increased apoptosis in an insulin-producing cell line (INS-1E) and in purified rat primary beta-cells.

3919 18769491 PPARs are known to modulate immune pathways through at least three different mechanisms: by direct binding to PPRE of anti-inflammatory cytokines genes; by transrepression of transcription factors like NF-kappaB and AP-1; or by corepression.
3920 18771589 The former pathway proceeds via phosphorylation and degradation of inhibitor of NF-kappaB (IkappaB) and leads most commonly to activation of the heterodimer RelA/NF-kappaB1(p50).

3932 18809715 We show that transient hyperglycemia induces long-lasting activating epigenetic changes in the promoter of the nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) subunit p65 in aortic endothelial cells both in vitro and in nondiabetic mice, which cause increased p65 gene expression.
3933 18809715 Both the epigenetic changes and the gene expression changes persist for at least 6 d of subsequent normal glycemia, as do NF-kappaB-induced increases in monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 expression.

3936 18813855 The molecular mechanism by which FME inhibits iNOS gene expression in in vitro and in vivo appears to involve inhibition of NF-kappaB activation.
3937 18838540 Here, we discovered a new target for GSK-3beta phosphorylation: the human glucocorticoid receptor (GR).
3938 18838540 Cells expressing a GR that is incapable of GSK-3beta phosphorylation had a redirection of the global transcriptional response to hormone, including the activation of additional signaling pathways, in part due to the altered ability of unphosphorylatable GR to recruit transcriptional cofactors CBP/p300 and the p65 (RelA) subunit of NF-kappaB.
3939 18841151 On the basis of pre-clinical data, we hypothesise that several mechanisms could be involved in this process, such as capillary regression of pancreatic islets, IGF-1 modulation through HIF1-alpha or NF-kappaB activation.
3940 18842828 Methylglyoxal mediates vascular inflammation via JNK and p38 in human endothelial cells.
3941 18842828 MGO induced mRNA and protein expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in a concentration (0-420 microM)- and time (6-24 h)-dependent manner.
3942 18842828 Acute treatment with MGO (20 min) induced concentration-dependent (0-420 microM) activation of JNK and p38 MAP kinase but not ERK or NF-kappaB.
3943 18842828 Both the JNK inhibitor SP600125 and the p38 inhibitor SB203580 prevented the MGO induction of COX-2.
3944 18842828 However, inhibiting JNK and p38 or COX-2 was ineffective to the morphological damage by MGO (420 microM, 24 h).
3945 18842828 EUK134, a synthetic combined superoxide dismutase/catalase mimetic, had no effect on MGO-induced COX-2.
3946 18842828 Present results indicated that MGO mediates JNK- and p38-dependent EC inflammatory responses, which might be independent of oxidative stress.
3947 18850043 EEPHC significantly suppressed the expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules and the costimulatory molecules CD40 and CD86 in NOD BM-DCs.
3948 18850043 Furthermore, splenocytes from the protected mice produced high amounts of IL-4 and IL-10 and low levels of IL-2 and interferon gamma, suggesting that these DCs deficient in NF- kappaB activity are responsible for the apparent shift in type 2 helper T cells.

3957 19002579 Hypoinsulinemia alleviates the GRF1/Ras/Akt anti-apoptotic pathway and induces alterations of mitochondrial ras trafficking in neuronal cells.
3958 19002579 We have found that in hippocampal neuronal cells insulin increases the content of farnesylated Ras and phosphorylated form of Akt.
3959 19002579 During experimental diabetes, the content of membrane-bound GRF1 was decreased in rat hippocampus that was correlated with the reduction in mitochondrial Ras and phosphorylated forms of Akt.
3960 19002579 This redistribution in Ras-GRF system was accompanied by the alteration in the activities of CREB, NF-kB (p65) and c-Rel transcription factors.

3963 19010563 After incubation with LPS or LTA, decreased surface expressions of CD14 were observed on monocytes from T2DM and controls, in contrast to the increased on monocytes from LADA.
3964 19010563 Activation of NF-kappaB and amounts of IL-1beta and TNF-alpha production by stimulation with ligands significantly increased in LADA and T2DM, which was modulated by 1,25(OH)(2)D3 to similar level, as compared to controls.
3965 19018797 Furthermore, reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the rat renal cortex were analysed using an H(2)O(2)-based hydroxyl radical-detection assay and the renal content of AGE, RAGE, NADPH oxidase p47phox, nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB p65, phosphorylated (p-) NF-kappaB p65, vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 was determined by immunohistochemistry, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis. 3.

4127 19136667 Oxidized LDL impair adipocyte response to insulin by activating serine/threonine kinases.
4128 19136667 Specifically, in oxLDL-treated cells insulin receptor (IR) substrate-1 (IRS-1) was highly degraded likely because of the enhanced Ser(307)phosphorylation.
4129 19136667 This process was largely mediated by the activation of the inhibitor of kappaB-kinase beta (IKKbeta) and the c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK).
4130 19136667 Moreover, the activation of IKKbeta positively regulated the nuclear content of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB), by inactivating the inhibitor of NF-kappaB (IkappaBalpha).
4131 19136667 The activated NF-kappaB further impaired per se GLUT4 functionality.
4132 19136667 Specific inhibitors of IKKbeta, JNK, and NF-kappaB restored insulin sensitivity in adipocytes treated with oxLDL.

4148 19151544 Western blot analysis showed that the expressions of 1 alpha (IV) collagen, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, interleukin (IL)-1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, NF-kappaB p65, and 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) protein were increased in the kidneys of diabetic rats; the increases in these proteins were all dose-dependently and significantly inhibited by TGP treatment.
4149 19151544 Our data suggest that TGP treatment ameliorates early renal injury via the inhibition of expression of ICAM-1, IL-1, TNF-alpha, and 3-NT in the kidneys of diabetic rats.
4150 19164460 In OLETF rats [compared with age-matched control Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats]: 1) acetylcholine (ACh)-induced (endothelium-dependent) relaxation was impaired, 2) NO- and EDHF-mediated relaxations and nitrite production were reduced, and 3) ACh-induced EDCF-mediated contraction, production of prostanoids, and the protein expressions of COX-1 and COX-2 were all increased.
4151 19164460 When OLETF rats received chronic EPA treatment long-term (300 mg/kg/day p.o. for 4 weeks), their isolated mesenteric arteries exhibited: 1) improvements in ACh-induced NO- and EDHF-mediated relaxations and COX-mediated contraction, 2) reduced EDCF- and arachidonic acid-induced contractions, 3) normalized NO metabolism, 4) suppressed production of prostanoids, 5) reduced COX-2 expression, and 6) reduced phosphoextracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) expression.
4152 19164460 We propose that EPA ameliorates endothelial dysfunction in OLETF rats by correcting the imbalance between endothelium-derived factors, at least partly, by inhibiting ERK, decreasing NF-kappaB activation, and reducing COX-2 expression.
4153 19193728 Our previous studies demonstrated that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)] plays a renoprotective role by suppressing the RAS, with renin and angiotensinogen (AGT) as the main targets.
4154 19193728 The mechanism whereby 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) transcriptionally suppresses renin gene expression has been elucidated; however, how vitamin D regulates AGT remains unknown.
4155 19193728 In mesangial cells, the stimulation was inhibited by 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) (20 nM) or NF-kappaB inhibitor BAY 11-7082, suggesting the involvement of NF- kappaB in HG-induced AGT expression and the interaction between 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) and NF-kappaB in the regulation.
4156 19193728 EMSA and ChIP assays demonstrated increased p65/p50 binding to a NF-kappaB binding site at -1734 in the AGT gene promoter upon high glucose stimulation, and the binding was disrupted by 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) treatment.
4157 19193728 Overexpression of p65/p50 overcame 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) suppression, and mutation of this NF-kappaB binding site blunted 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) suppression of the promoter activity.
4158 19193728 In mice lacking the vitamin D receptor, AGT mRNA expression in the kidney was markedly increased compared with wild-type mice, and AGT induction in diabetic mice was suppressed by treatment with a vitamin D analog.

4160 19193728 Our previous studies demonstrated that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)] plays a renoprotective role by suppressing the RAS, with renin and angiotensinogen (AGT) as the main targets.
4161 19193728 The mechanism whereby 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) transcriptionally suppresses renin gene expression has been elucidated; however, how vitamin D regulates AGT remains unknown.
4162 19193728 In mesangial cells, the stimulation was inhibited by 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) (20 nM) or NF-kappaB inhibitor BAY 11-7082, suggesting the involvement of NF- kappaB in HG-induced AGT expression and the interaction between 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) and NF-kappaB in the regulation.

4190 19208858 The reduction of hyperglycemia was accompanied by enhanced HO-1, HO activity, and cGMP of the soleus muscle, alongside increased plasma bilirubin, ferritin, SOD, total antioxidant capacity, and insulin levels, whereas markers/mediators of oxidative stress like urinary-8-isoprostane and soleus muscle nitrotyrosine, NF-kappaB, and activator protein-1 and -2 were abated.
4191 19208858 Furthermore, inhibitors of insulin signaling including soleus muscle glycogen synthase kinase-3 and JNK were reduced, while the insulin-sensitizing adipokine, adiponectin, alongside AMPK were increased.
4192 19208858 Correspondingly, hemin improved glucose tolerance, suppressed insulin intolerance, reduced insulin resistance, and overturned the inability of insulin to enhance glucose transporter 4, a protein required for glucose uptake.
4193 19208858 The synergistic interaction among HO, adiponectin, and GLUT4 may be explored against insulin-resistant diabetes.
4194 19210748 PARP-mediated poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation and inhibition of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase importantly contributes to the development of diabetic vascular complications: it induces activation of multiple pathways of injury including activation of nuclear factor kappa B, activation of protein kinase C and generation of intracellular advanced glycation end products.

4197 19254713 ICAM-1 and TNF-alpha, was drastically up-regulated in diabetic retina.
4198 19254713 In cultured bovine retinal capillary endothelial cells (RCECs) and human ARPE-19 cells, lovastatin attenuated the decrease of tight junction protein (occludin) and adherens junction protein (VE-cadherin) expression-induced by TNF-alpha, a major pro-inflammatory cytokine in diabetic retinopathy.
4199 19254713 Towards the mechanism, we showed that lovastatin ameliorated ICAM-1 expression-induced by hypoxia and TNF-alpha in both RCECs and ARPE-19 cells, in part through inhibition of NF-kappaB activation.
4200 19262004 Interestingly, apoCIII-rich HDL did not reduce the adhesion of monocytes to vascular ECs, whereas HDL without apoCIII decreased their adhesion, suggesting that apoCIII in HDL counteracts the anti-inflammatory property of HDL.
4201 19262004 ApoCIII alone as well as VLDL CIII+also activated vascular ECs through the activation of NF-kappaB, and induced the recruitment of monocytes to vascular ECs.
4202 19262004 Moreover, apoCIII induced insulin resistance in vascular ECs and caused endothelial dysfunction.
4203 19273093 As death effector molecules, perforin, Fas ligand, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, Interleukin (IL)-1, interferon (IFN)-gamma, and nitric oxide have been claimed.
4204 19273093 Recently, combinations or synergisms between IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha or IL-1beta are being revisited as the death effectors, and signal transduction of such synergisms has been explored to find molecular mechanism of beta -cell death.
4205 19273093 By employing TNF-alpha / IFN-gamma synergism model which causes beta -cell apoptosis, we found that the antiapoptotic X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) molecule is upregulated by NF-kappaB in response to TNF-alpha and XIAP induction was inhibited by IFN-gamma-induced signal transducer and activator of transcription-1 (STAT1) activation, which explains the death of beta -cells by TNF-alpha /IFN-gamma synergism.

4287 19281795 A Jak2 inhibitor, AG490, reverses lipin-1 suppression by TNF-alpha in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
4288 19281795 Since TNF-alpha is deeply involved in the pathogenesis of obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes, here we investigated the role of TNF-alpha on lipin-1 expression in adipocytes.
4289 19281795 A Jak2 inhibitor, AG490, reversed the suppressive effect of TNF-alpha on both lipin-1A and -1B.
4290 19281795 In contrast, NF-kappaB, MAPKs, ceramide, and beta-catenin pathway tested were not involved in the mechanism.
4291 19281795 These results suggest that TNF-alpha could be involved in obesity-induced lipin-1 suppression in adipocytes and Jak2 may play an important role in the mechanism.
4292 19288032 Interleukin (IL)-1beta and interferon (IFN)-gamma are the primary cytokines responsible for stimulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and nitric oxide overproduction, which leads to beta-cell damage.
4293 19288032 In this study, the effects of Fructus Xanthii extract (FXE) on IL-1beta and IFN-gamma-induced beta-cell damage were examined.
4294 19288032 Treatment of RINm5F cells with IL-1beta and IFN-gamma reduced cell viability, however, FXE completely protected cells from IL-1beta and IFN-gamma-mediated reduction in viability in a concentration-dependent manner.
4295 19288032 In addition, incubation with FXE resulted in a significant suppression of IL-1beta and IFN-gamma-induced nitric oxide (NO) production, which correlated with the reduced levels of the inducible form of iNOS mRNA and protein observed.
4296 19288032 The IL-1beta and IFN-gamma-stimulated RIN cells showed increases in NF-kappaB binding activity and p50 subunit levels in the nucleus, as well as increased IkappaBalpha degradation in cytosol when compared to unstimulated cells, which indicates that the mechanism by which FXE inhibited the iNOS gene involves inhibition of NF-kappaB activation.
4297 19288032 Furthermore, a protective effect of FXE was demonstrated by reduction in NO generation and iNOS expression, as well as the normal insulin secreting responses to glucose observed in IL-1beta and IFN-gamma-treated islets.

4344 19411758 Bim, the B cell lymphoma 2-interacting (Bcl2-interacting) mediator, maintains immunological tolerance by deleting autoreactive lymphocytes through apoptosis.
4345 19411758 Upon T cell receptor activation, Bim-deficient T cells exhibited severe defects in both calcium release and dephosphorylation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) but maintained normal levels of activation of NF-kappaB and MAPKs.

4347 19411758 Thus, in addition to mediating the death of autoreactive T cells, Bim also controlled T cell activation through the IP3R/calcium/NFAT pathway.

4396 19432816 DR5-mediated DISC controls caspase-8 cleavage and initiation of apoptosis in human glioblastomas.
4397 19432816 TRAIL has four membrane-anchored receptors, death receptor 4/5 (DR4/5) and decoy receptor 1/2 (DcR1/2).
4398 19432816 Of these receptors, only DR5 was expressed consistently in glioblastoma cell lines and tumour tissues, ruling out the role of DcR1/2 in TRAIL resistance.
4399 19432816 Upon TRAIL binding, DR5 was homotrimerized and recruited Fas-associated death domain (FADD) and caspase-8 for the assembly of death-inducing signalling complex (DISC) in the lipid rafts of the plasma membrane.
4400 19432816 In the DISC, caspase-8 was cleaved and initiated apoptosis by cleaving downstream caspases in TRAIL-sensitive glioblastoma cells.
4401 19432816 In TRAIL-resistant cells, however, DR5-mediated DISC was modified by receptor-interacting protein (RIP), cellular FADD-like interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme inhibitory protein (c-FLIP) and phosphoprotein enriched in diabetes or in astrocyte-15 (PED/PEA-15).
4402 19432816 This DISC modification occurred in the non-raft fractions of the plasma membrane and resulted in the inhibition of caspase-8 cleavage and activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB).
4403 19432816 Treatment of resistant cells with parthenolide, an inhibitor of inhibitor of kappaB (I-kappaB), eliminated TRAIL-induced NF-kappaB activity but not TRAIL resistance.
4404 19432816 In contrast, however, targeting of RIP, c-FLIP or PED/PEA-15 with small interfering RNA (siRNA) led to the redistribution of the DISC from non-rafts to lipid rafts and eliminated the inhibition of caspase-8 cleavage and thereby TRAIL resistance.
4405 19432816 Taken together, this study indicates that the DISC modification by RIP, c-FLIP and PED/PEA-15 is the most upstream event in TRAIL resistance in glioblastomas.

4416 19444937 In several studies, we have described that a complete or partial lack of vitamin D action (VDR-/- mice and CYP27B1-/-) show almost similar phenotype as FGF23-/- or Klotho-/- mice.
4417 19444937 Due to its high serum concentration and better uptake of calcidiol-DBP by the target cells through the cubilin-megalin system, calcidiol seems to be an important circulating hormone.
4418 19444937 Also, the insulin-like growth factor signalling pathway (IGF-1, IGFBPs, IGFR) and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) regulate growth, aging and cancer.
4419 19444937 Also NF-kappaB and telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) might be molecular mechanisms mediating vitamin D action in aging and cancer.

4435 19562690 TXNIP silencing by siRNA impedes RAGE and HG effects while stable over-expression of a cDNA for human TXNIP in EC elevates inflammation. p38 MAPK-NF-kappaB signaling pathway and histone H3 lysine (K) nine modifications are involved in TXNIP-induced inflammation.
4436 19562690 Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays reveal that TXNIP over-expression in EC abolishes H3K9 tri-methylation, a marker for gene inactivation, and increases H3K9 acetylation, an indicator of gene induction, at proximal Cox2 promoter bearing the NF-kappaB-binding site.
4437 19591173 More importantly, nuclear translocation of p65 and p52 of NF-kappaB by S100A4 was inhibited in the presence of ex-RAGE, confirming anti-inflammatory function of ex-RAGE.
4438 19591173 In conclusion, ex-RAGE down-regulates RAGE expression and inhibits p65 and p52 activation in HSG, providing evidence that ex-RAGE functions as a "decoy" to RAGE-ligand interaction and thus potentially dampening inflammatory conditions.
4439 19616578 RAGE binding by circulating advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) or S100 protein released by activated leukocytes results in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and further activation of NF-kappaB.

4466 19683471 Kinases, including IKKbeta, JNK, ERK, mTOR, and S6K, activated by the inducers of insulin resistance induce uncontrolled IRS serine phosphorylation.
4467 19683471 Moreover, IKKbeta/NF-kappaB and JNK1 pathways in myeloid cells represent a core mechanism involved in inflammation linked to obesity.
4468 19683471 These kinases are thus potential drug targets against insulin resistance and the targeting of the IKKbeta/NF-kappaB or the JNK pathway may evolve into future diabetes medication.

4472 19699734 A dietary supplement of curcumin reversed the increase in levels of activity and mRNA of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and cathepsin K to control values.
4473 19699734 When bone marrow cells were cultured with macrophage colony stimulating factor and receptor activator NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL), the increased activity to form TRAP-positive multinucleated cells and the increased levels of mRNA and protein of c-fos and c-jun in the cultured cells from diabetic rats decreased to control levels in the curcumin-supplemented rats.
4474 19699734 Similarly, the increased expression of c-fos and c-jun in the distal femur of the diabetic rats was significantly reduced by the supplement.
4475 19699734 These results suggested that curcumin suppressed the increased bone resorptive activity through the prevention of osteoclastogenesis associated with inhibition of the expression of c-fos and c-jun in the diabetic rats.

4488 19747262 Regulatory feedback loop between NF-kappaB and MCP-1-induced protein 1 RNase.
4489 19747262 A novel gene ZC3H12A, encoding MCP-1-induced protein 1 (MCPIP), was recently identified in human peripheral blood monocytes treated with monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) and in human monocyte-derived macrophages stimulated with interleukin (IL)-1beta.
4490 19747262 These experiments revealed that the gene undergoes rapid and potent transcription induction upon stimulation with proinflammatory molecules, such as MCP-1, IL-1beta, tumour necrosis factor alpha and lipopolysaccharide.
4491 19747262 Here we show that the induction of ZC3H12A by IL-1beta is predominantly NF-kappaB-dependent because inhibition of this signalling pathway results in the impairment of ZC3H12A transcription activation.
4492 19747262 Our results indicate the presence of an IL-1beta-responding region within the second intron of the ZC3H12A gene, which contains four functional NF-kappaB-binding sites.
4493 19747262 Therefore, we propose that this transcription enhancer transduces a ZC3H12A transcription-inducing signal after IL-1beta stimulation.

4506 19747951 We presently examined expression of the intracellular viral RNA sensors, the RNA helicases RIG-I and MDA5, and documented the functionality of RIG-I in pancreatic beta cells.
4507 19747951 FACS-purified rat beta cells and islet cells from wild-type or TLR3(-/-) mice were cultured with or without the RIG-I-specific ligand 5'-triphosphate single-stranded RNA (5'triP-ssRNA), the synthetic dsRNA polyI:C (PIC) or 5'OH-ssRNA (negative control); the RNA compounds were added in the medium or transfected in the cells using lipofectamine.
4508 19747951 RIG-I and MDA5 expression were determined by real-time RT-PCR.
4509 19747951 NF-kappaB and IFN-beta promoter activation were studied in the presence or absence of a dominant-negative form of RIG-I (DN-RIG-I).
4510 19747951 Both extracellular (PICex) and intracellular (PICin) PIC increased expression of RIG-I and MDA5 in pancreatic beta cells.
4511 19747951 PICin-induced NF-kappaB and IFN-beta promoter activation were prevented by the DN-RIG-I.
4512 19747951 We presently examined expression of the intracellular viral RNA sensors, the RNA helicases RIG-I and MDA5, and documented the functionality of RIG-I in pancreatic beta cells.

4520 19801900 Vaspin can not inhibit TNF-alpha-induced inflammation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
4521 19801900 We therefore assessed the effects of vaspin on basal and TNF-alpha-stimulated human umbilical vein ECs.
4522 19801900 Vaspin (10-100 ng/ml, 24 hr) had no effects on both basal ECs morphology and TNF-alpha-induced (10 ng/ml, 24 hr) morphological damages.
4523 19801900 Vaspin did not inhibit the TNF-alpha (20 min) activation of JNK, p38 and NF-kappaB, but only slightly inhibited Akt.
4524 19801900 Furthermore, vaspin did not decrease the TNF-alpha (24 hr) induction of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, endothelial selectin, and cyclooxygenase-2 protein expression as well as monocyte chemotactic protein-1, tissue factor, and plasmogen activator inhibitor-1 mRNA expression.
4525 19801900 The present results indicate that vaspin has no effects on normal ECs, and can not prevent TNF-alpha-induced inflammatory injury.
4526 19820199 The expression of profibrotic factors, transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta1), connective tissue growth factor, and matrix proteins was increased, and the TGF-beta1-linked transcription factors phospho-Smad3/4 and activator protein-1 were activated in the DM1 myocardium.
4527 19820199 Proapoptotic molecules FasL, Fas, Bax, and cleaved caspase-3 were also augmented.
4528 19820199 In addition, hypertension was associated with activation of NF-kappaB, increased inflammatory cell infiltrate, and expression of the mediators [interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), tumor necrosis factor-alpha, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1, angiotensinogen, and oxidants], which were absent in long-term DM1.
4529 19820199 In cultured cardiomyocytes, IL-10, TGF-beta1, and catalase blocked the glucose-stimulated expression of proinflammatory genes.
4530 19848310 The association between the increase in life expectancy in humans and age-related changes in the immune system promotes that individuals are exposed longer to endogenous and environment antigens which allows an activation of the innate immune system and the subsequent establishment of a low grade chronic inflammation state with an increased expression of proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 6, etc.).
4531 19848310 This inflammatory state referred as inflammaging is characterized by a inflammatory origin of aging given by the activation of cellular systems responsible of gene promotion and suppression as the nuclear factor kappa B, sirtuins, forkhead box O and KLOTHO, who are directly or indirectly involved in cellular mechanisms of resistance to oxidative stress, apoptosis and nucleic acids transcriptional mistakes repair.
4532 19881493 In the retina, pericyte apoptosis and the formation of acellular capillaries, the most specific vascular pathologies attributed to hyperglycemia, is linked to the loss of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-mediated survival actions owing to unknown mechanisms.
4533 19881493 Here we show that hyperglycemia persistently activates protein kinase C-delta (PKC-delta, encoded by Prkcd) and p38alpha mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) to increase the expression of a previously unknown target of PKC-delta signaling, Src homology-2 domain-containing phosphatase-1 (SHP-1), a protein tyrosine phosphatase.
4534 19881493 This signaling cascade leads to PDGF receptor-beta dephosphorylation and a reduction in downstream signaling from this receptor, resulting in pericyte apoptosis independently of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) signaling.
4535 19881493 Unlike diabetic age-matched wild-type mice, diabetic Prkcd(-/-) mice did not show activation of p38alpha MAPK or SHP-1, inhibition of PDGF signaling in vascular cells or the presence of acellular capillaries.
4536 19881493 We also observed PKC-delta, p38alpha MAPK and SHP-1 activation in brain pericytes and in the renal cortex of diabetic mice.

4538 19929783 HCV directly causes insulin resistance through HCV core protein-elicited proteasomal degradation of insulin receptor substrates and subsequent inactivation of intracellular insulin signaling molecules such as Akt.
4539 19929783 Furthermore, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and/or triglyceride accumulation-induced nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation in the liver is shown to play a role in insulin resistance in patients with HCV-related chronic liver disease as well.
4540 19929783 We, along with others, have recently found that branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) could improve the HCV-associated insulin resistance via suppression of NF-kappaB and preservation of insulin signaling pathway.
4541 19929783 In this review, we discuss the mechanisms for the actions of BCAAs and PEDF, and their clinical implications in insulin resistance of chronic liver disease in patients with HCV infection.

4547 19955485 The mechanism of cellular NADPH oxidase (NOX)-dependent ROS generation by defined AGEs, N(epsilon)-carboxymethyl-lysine- and methylglyoxal (MG)-modified BSA, was assessed in AGER1 overexpressing (AGER1(+) EC) or knockdown (sh-mRNA-AGER1(+) EC) human aortic endothelial (EC) and ECV304 cells, and aortic segments from old (18 mo) C57BL6-F(2) mice, propagated on low-AGE diet (LAGE), or LAGE supplemented with MG (LAGE+MG).
4548 19955485 Wild-type EC and sh-mRNA-AGER1(+) EC, but not AGER1(+) EC, had high NOX p47(phox) and gp91(phox) activity, superoxide anions, and NF-kappaB p65 nuclear translocation in response to MG and N(epsilon)-carboxymethyl-lysine.
4549 19959167 AGEs increased migration and inflammatory responses of adventitial fibroblasts via RAGE, MAPK and NF-kappaB pathways.
4550 19998325 Consistent with this observation, FG reduced protein and mRNA levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), as determined by Western blotting and RT-PCR, respectively.
4551 19998325 The molecular mechanism of FG's inhibition of iNOS and COX-2 gene expressions appeared to involve the inhibition of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation via prevention of inhibitor kappaB (IkappaB) phosphorylation and degradation.
4552 19998325 The cytoprotective effects of FG were also mediated through suppression of extracelluar signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-JUN N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathways.
4553 20004646 Tumor necrosis factor-alpha increases alkaline phosphatase expression in vascular smooth muscle cells via MSX2 induction.
4554 20004646 TNF-alpha increased the expression of osteogenic marker genes including RUNX2, osterix, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and bone sialoprotein, and it also promoted matrix mineralization in VSMCs.
4555 20004646 In addition, TNF-alpha enhanced MSX2 expression in a dose- and time-dependent manner.
4556 20004646 MSX2 over-expression alone induced ALP expression, whereas knockdown of MSX2 with small interfering RNA completely blocked TNF-alpha-induced ALP expression.
4557 20004646 New protein synthesis was dispensable for MSX2 induction by TNF-alpha, and the inhibition of NF-kappaB by BAY-11-7082 or by dominant negative IkappaBalpha abolished the TNF-alpha-directed induction of MSX2 expression.
4558 20004646 In conclusion, our study suggests that TNF-alpha directly induces MSX2 expression through the NF-kappaB pathway, which in turn induces expression of ALP, a key molecule in mineralization, in VSMCs.

4565 20007767 Despite there being overt evidence of adipose tissue inflammation, antiinflammatory strategies including salicylate treatment and genetic suppression of myeloid NF-kappaB signaling that correct insulin resistance in obesity were ineffective in the lipodystrophic mice.
4566 20021289 SGK1 is activated by insulin and growth factors via the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase pathway.

4568 20034466 Similar effects of resistin and high glucose on P-selectin and fractalkine expression and monocyte adhesion in human endothelial cells.
4569 20034466 We questioned whether resistin and HG affect the expression of major adhesion molecules, P-selectin and fractalkine in human endothelial cells (HEC).
4570 20034466 The results showed that in HEC (i) resistin increased P-selectin expression; (ii) HG up-regulated Fk expression; (iii) P-selectin and fractalkine were functional increasing monocyte adhesion to activated cells.

4580 20068030 Exposure of mouse macrophages to HE3286 in vitro caused partial suppression of endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide)-induced nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kappaB)-sensitive reporter gene expression, NF-kappaB nuclear translocation, and NF-kappaB/p65 serine phosphorylation.
4581 20068030 Proinflammatory kinases, including IkappaB kinase, c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase, and p38, were also inhibited by HE3286.
4582 20068030 In ligand competition experiments HE3286 did not bind to classical sex steroid or corticosteroid receptors, including androgen receptor (AR), progesterone receptor, estrogen receptor (ER) alpha or ERbeta, and glucocorticoid receptor (GR).

4589 20151765 Resistin and visfatin: regulators of insulin sensitivity, inflammation and immunity.
4590 20151765 Among variety of adipokines, resistin and visfatin are proposed as important pro-inflammatory mediators, which also interfere with the central regulation of insulin sensitivity.
4591 20151765 Resistin has been initially postulated as a risk factor for insulin resistance, however, the subsequent available data on it have revealed contradictory findings in both humans and rodents.
4592 20151765 On the other hand, visfatin has been suggested to be a beneficial adipokine with insulin-mimicking/-sensitizing effects, but regulation of visfatin production and its physiological importance in the conditions of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus are still not completely understood.
4593 20151765 Despite the opposing effects of resistin and visfatin on the regulation of insulin sensitivity, both adipokines have pro-inflammatory properties.
4594 20151765 Clinical and experimental studies have shown that the expression and secretion of resistin and visfatin are up-regulated during inflammation and in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines.
4595 20151765 It has also become increasingly evident that resistin as well as visfatin itself can contribute to the inflammatory processes by triggering cytokine production and NF-kappaB activation.

4775 20451496 TRAIL upregulates decoy receptor 1 and mediates resistance to apoptosis in insulin-secreting INS-1 cells.
4776 20451496 TRAIL/Apo2L (tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) is a multifunctional protein regulating the homeostasis of the immune system, infection, autoimmune diseases, and apoptosis.
4777 20451496 A previous study found that TRAIL did not have significant cytotoxic effects on the insulin-secreting pancreatic beta cell line, INS-1.
4778 20451496 TRAIL treatment showed NF-kappaB translocation to the nucleus in TRAIL-resistant INS-1 cells, and TRAIL-induced NF-kappaB activation was preceded by IkappaBalpha degradation.
4779 20451496 A pharmacological inhibitor of NF-kappaB, Bay 11-7082, blocked TRAIL-induced NF-kappaB translocation to the nucleus and IkappaBalpha degradation.
4780 20451496 Four related receptors bind TRAIL: two death receptors (DR4 and DR5) that promote apoptosis, and two decoy receptors (DcR1 and DcR2) that act as dominant-negative inhibitors of TRAIL-mediated apoptosis.
4781 20451496 In the present study, TRAIL treatment in INS-1 cells upregulated DcR1 and downregulated DR5 without altering the expression of DcR2 and DR4.

4812 20483351 To examine the pharmacological effects of a butanol-soluble extract of CS under conditions of diabetic nephropathy, we evaluated the expression of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) and fibronectin, key mediators of diabetic nephropathy, in mouse glomerular mesangial cells cultured in the presence of S100b (a specific ligand for receptor of advanced glycation end products).
4813 20483351 CS inhibited S100b-induced TGF-beta1 and fibronectin expression in mouse mesangial cells by suppressing activation of Smad2/3, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and oxidative stress.

5007 22393382 Among them, SUMO4, a negative feedback regulator in NF-kB and JAK/STAT signaling pathways, resulted hyper-expressed.
5008 22393382 Silencing of SUMO4 was able to restore sensitivity to cytokine-induced cell death in β-TC3R cells, suggesting it may play a key role in acquired cytokine resistance by blocking JAK/STAT and NF-kB lethal signaling.In conclusion, our study represents the first extensive proteomic characterization of a murine cytokine-resistant β-cell line, which might represent a useful tool for studying the mechanisms involved in resistance to cytokine-mediated β-cell death.

5036 23071093 Retinol-binding protein 4 induces inflammation in human endothelial cells by an NADPH oxidase- and nuclear factor kappa B-dependent and retinol-independent mechanism.
5037 23071093 Here we show that RBP4 induces inflammation in primary human retinal capillary endothelial cells (HRCEC) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) by stimulating expression of proinflammatory molecules involved in leukocyte recruitment and adherence to endothelium, including vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), E-selectin, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), and interleukin-6 (IL-6).
5038 23071093 We demonstrate that these novel effects of RBP4 are independent of retinol and the RBP4 membrane receptor STRA6 and occur in part via activation of NADPH oxidase and NF-κB.
5039 23071669 These included five that were common to both ages (TNF, HNF4A, IL15, Progesterone, and YWHAZ), and others that were unique to 2 weeks (e.g.
5040 23071669 MYC/MYCN, TGFB1, and IL2) and to 4 weeks (e.g.

5045 23300647 We studied the potential protective effect of adiponectin (an adipokine with insulin-sensitizing, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties) against Aβ neurotoxicity in human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) transfected with the Swedish amyloid precursor protein (Sw-APP) mutant, which overproduced Aβ with abnormal intracellular Aβ accumulation.
5046 23300647 Our results revealed that Sw-APP transfected SH-SY5Y cells expressed both adiponectin receptor 1 and 2, and had increased AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation and enhanced nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) activation compared to control empty-vector transfected SH-SY5Y cells.
5047 23300647 This neuroprotective action of adiponectin against Aβ neurotoxicity-induced cytotoxicity under oxidative stress involved 1) AMPK activation mediated via the endosomal adaptor protein APPL1 (adaptor protein with phosphotyrosine binding, pleckstrin homology domains and leucine zipper motif) and possibly 2) suppression of NF-κB activation.

5057 23465589 In the OZR, WB consumption resulted in decreased plasma concentrations of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (-25.6%, P<.05), interleukin (IL)-6 (-14.9%, P<.05) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (-13.1%, P<.05) and increased adiponectin concentration (+21.8%, P<.05).
5058 23465589 Furthermore, expression of IL-6, TNF-α and nuclear factor (NF)-kB was down-regulated in both the liver (-65%, -59% and -25%, respectively) and the abdominal adipose tissue (-64%, -52% and -65%), while CRP expression was down-regulated only in the liver (-25%).
5059 23465589 In the abdominal adipose tissue, similar trends were also observed in LZR following WB treatment, with decreased liver expression of NF-kB, CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α (-24%, -16%, -21% and -50%) and increased adiponectin expression (+25%).

5061 23526543 Next, data obtained with selective pharmacological inhibitors and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) showed that HG-induced MMP-9 expression is mediated through a c-Src-dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS) signal linking to activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs).
5062 23526543 Subsequently, the transcriptional factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) was activated and thereby turned on transcription of MMP-9 gene.
5063 23527709 Splenocytes from adult db/db and CD1d-knockout mice of both genders and their wild-type, C57BL/6 and Balb/C counterparts were examined for tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and TNF-alpha receptor type 1.
5064 23527709 Despite the absence of inflammatory infiltrates, the hearts of db/db mice showed alterations in TNF-alpha receptor-1 and NFkB activity, including increased expression of both the NFkB p52 and p65 subunits.
5065 23527709 In the hearts of CD1d-knockout mice, p52 expression was reduced, while p65 expression remained largely unchanged.
5066 23527709 These results provide evidence for CD1d-mediated NFkB activation and diastolic dysfunction in the hearts of db/db mice.
5067 23527709 Therefore, CD1d-associated abnormalities of innate immune responses and TNF-alpha production in splenic tissue may contribute to NFkB activation and cardiac dysfunction in type 2 diabetes.

5079 23737649 Furthermore, genistein supplementation inhibited the fibrosis-related markers (protein kinase C, protein kinase C-beta II, and transforming growth factor-beta I) in the DN state.
5080 23772224 These adipokines including leptin, visfatin, resistin, apelin, vaspin, and retinol binding protein-4 can regulate inflammatory responses and contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetes.
5081 23772224 These effects are mediated by key inflammatory signaling molecules including activated serine kinases such as c-Jun N-terminal kinase and serine kinases inhibitor κB kinase and insulin signaling molecules including insulin receptor substrates, protein kinase B (PKB, also known as Akt), and nuclear factor kappa B.
