Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The transcription factor NFkappaB is a major mediator of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) signaling. We determined the role of NFkappaB activation in regulatory changes of the P-glycoprotein (Pgp) drug efflux transporter at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and proinflammatory cytokine receptors. METHODS: We treated NFkappaB knockout and wildtype mice with LPS or vehicle, obtained enriched cerebral...
