Abstract excerpt
In the presence of a protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin 1-beta (IL-1beta), or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to undergo apoptosis, suggesting that constitutive or inducible cytoprotective pathways are required for cell survival. We studied the correlation between nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB)...
