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
The hepatic stellate cell (HSC), following a fibrogenic stimulus, is transformed from a quiescent to an activated cell. Cytokines induce NFB activity in activated but not in quiescent HSCs with subsequent expression of NFBresponsive genes, such as intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and interle
In infectious diseases of the central nervous system astrocytes respond to inflammatory cytokines like tumor necrosis factor ␣ (TNF␣) by activation of the transcription factor NF-B, mediated by the proteolysis of its inhibitors IB␣ and IB. We studied the kinetics of NF-B induction by TNF␣ in primar
## Abstract In this study we explored the relevance of __Hint__, a novel tumor suppressor gene, to human hepatoma. The human hepatoma cell lines Hep3B and HepG2 express very low levels of the HINT1 protein but the Huh7 cells express a relatively high level. In Hep3B and HepG2 cells, but not in Huh7
