Role of NF-kappaB in the apoptotic-resistant phenotype of keratinocytes.

Abstract excerpt

Several studies point to a role for NF-kappaB in modulating epidermal thickness and apoptotic susceptibility of keratinocytes. When phorbol esters such as 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) are topically applied, prominent epidermal thickening occurs, and exposure to interferon (IFN)-gamma promotes increased epidermal thickness producing psoriatic lesions. While keratinocytes derived from psoriatic plaque...
