Abstract excerpt
TNF-alpha induces oxidative stress by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). This molecule elevates the expression of gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase heavy subunit (gamma-GCS-HS). Lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF)/p75, a transcriptional protein, is inducible by oxidative stress and protects cells from various stresses by upregulating stress-responsive genes. This paper presents evidence that...
