Cells respond to external stimuli by changes in gene expression that are largely dependent on transcription factors (TFs). We studied the behavior of some TFs in rat liver during ischemia, postischemic reperfusion, and heat shock. Knowledge of the conditions at the end of ischemia is essential to un

Liver macrophages (Kupffer cells) respond to many stimulations with the production of bioactive substances including cytokines, eicosanoids, and inorganic radicals. In this study the activation of transcription factors by substances inducing cytokine gene expression or superoxide formation in rat Ku
For many inherited and acquired hepatic diseases, liver transplantation is the only possible therapeutic strategy. Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) damage to donor tissue is thought to be one component that may play a role in the decline of posttransplant tissue function and ultimately rejection. The tran
Reperfusion after liver transplantation results in the induction of tumor necrosis factor-␣ (TNF␣) as well as activation of the stress-associated signaling proteins, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), activating protein-1 (AP-1), and nuclear factor-B (NF-B). To test the hypothesis that Kupffer cells are
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Antiapoptotis resulting from hyperactivation of the transcription factor NF‐κB has been described in several cancer types. It is triggered by the interaction of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) with its receptors and recruitment of the intermediate factor TNF‐receptor asso
