Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is one of the best-described cell death promoters. In murine L929 fibroblasts, dexamethasone inhibits TNF-alpha-induced cytotoxicity. Since phosphatidyl inositol 3 kinase (PI3K) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) proteins regulate several survival pathways, we evaluated their participation in dexamethasone protection against TNF-alpha cell death. We interfered with...
