## Abstract The pleiotropic cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF‐α) can induce apoptosis but also supports cell survival pathways. Among the possible anti‐apoptotic mechanisms of TNF‐α is the activation of the transcription factor NF‐κB. Since reactive oxygen species (ROS) are assumed to contr

The neuropeptide ␣-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (␣-MSH) modulates inflammation by inhibiting production of proinflammatory cytokines. Using a plasmid vector encoding ␣-MSH, we examined whether autocrine ␣-MSH inhibits activation of the nuclear transcription factor NF-B, a factor that is essential
Tumor necrosis factor (TNFalpha-) generates both apoptotic and survival signals with endothelial cell (EC) survival dependent on nuclear factor kappa-B (NFkappaB) activation, a regulator of anti-apoptotic genes. We previously demonstrated that increased EC contractility, rearrangement of the actin c
