IL-1β-Specific Up-Regulation of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin Is Controlled by IκB-ζ
1 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a siderophore-binding protein that exerts a bacteriostatic effect by sequestering iron. Strong induction of NGAL synthesis has been observed in inflamed epithelium of the lungs and colon. Expression of NGAL is up-regulated in the lung epithelial cell line A549 by IL-1beta, but not by TNF-alpha, despite an induction of NF-kappaB binding to the NGAL promoter by...
