The IκB/NF-κB system: a key determinant of mucosal inflammation and protection
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
The ubiquitous transcription factor NF-kappa B is a central regulator of the transcriptional activation of a number of genes involved in cell adhesion, immune and proinflammatory responses, apoptosis, differentiation, and growth. Induction of these genes in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) by activated NF-kappa B profoundly influences mucosal inflammation and repair. NF-kappa B activation requires the removal...
