Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cytokine receptors regulating inflammatory responses activate the transcription factor nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway by various adaptor proteins and protein kinases. The NF-κB pathway induces the transcription of many genes, such as those encoding cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules, and regulates inflammatory responses by their gene expression. In this study, the molecular mechanisms of the signaling pathways and gene expression induced by inflammatory cytokines were elucidated largely by using small molecules as bioprobes.
