Example sentences for: iκbα
How can you use “iκbα” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
These preparations were subjected to SDS-PAGE and Western blotting using specific antibodies against IκBα, WOX1 and NF-κB.
The activation of NF-κB by CPT involves degradation of the cytoplasmic IκBα by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.
However in that model IκBα, the inhibitor of the NF-kB complex was still degraded.
These observations are consistent with our previous finding that exogenous bovine testicular hyaluronidase PH-20 enhances TNF cytotoxicity in various cancer cells, and that TGF-β1 blocks the increased TNF cytotoxicity [ 8 15 ] . As summarized in the Figure 8, the underlying mechanisms whereby Hyal-2 induces TNF cytotoxicity appear to be associated with 1) Hyal-2 induction of the proapoptotic WOX1, 2) Hyal-2 migration to the mitochondria during apoptosis, and 3) the prolonged period of IκBα degradation and NF-κB activation in TNF-treated Hyal-2-expressing cells.
IκBα is a physiological inhibitor of NF-κB activation; IκBα complexes with NF-κB and prevents its translocation to the nucleus [ 10 24 ] . NF-κB activation is believed to induce antiapoptotic proteins to block cell death [ 8 ] . However, in several studies activated NF-κB cannot protect cells from apoptosis [ 8 ] . Also, NF-κB appears to be essential in the p53-mediated apoptosis in tested cell lines [ 25 ] .
