Evidence 8d30ac6154

Tetrandrine, is an herb-derived bisbenzylioquinoline alkaloid, may be a potent inhibitor of NF-κB activation and can inhibit the expression of iNOS and COX-2 which are involved in pro-inflammation.

Evidence 6a4d34a96e

Aβ 42 mediated increase in BACE1 expression is accompanied by a decrease in Uch-L1 expression and activity in dif- ferent cellular models and in sporadic AD brains, which interferes with the lysosomal degradation of BACE1 [52,56].

Evidence 6515ce9a52

Upon exposure to various cell stressors including Aβ 42 , expression of BACE1-AS becomes elevated, increasing BACE1 mRNA stability and generating additional Aβ 42 through a post-transcriptional feed-forward mechanism [74].

Evidence 090eb86d8a

In cell models triggering supraphysiological concentrations of Aβ pep- tides, NF-κB is activated, as well as in both neuronal cells and microglial cells, showing that NF-κB pathway has been linked to Aβ neurotoxicity [14].

Evidence 52eb3d4875

Further investigations confirm that the activation of p50 and RelA subunit contributes to the apoptotic program in cells exposed to the Aβ [17].

Evidence 1cc7d150d3

Omega-6 phospholipids, e.g. dilinoleoylphosphatidylcholine (DLPC), have been shown to block TNF-α and H 2 O 2 activation of MAPK as well as blocks IκBα phosphorylation in the SH-SY5Y cells and prevents the phosphorylation and activation of NF-κB.

Evidence 551c0fd197

What's more, DLPC complete- ly abolishes TNF-α and H 2 O 2 induced neuronal tau phosphorylation, re- duces cellular APP levels and Aβ expression and secretion in SH-SY5Y cells [91,92] (Table 1).

Evidence 3d73ef557d

Under different envi- ronmental conditions such as Aβ/ROS/cytokines accumulation, the IκB kinase (IKK) complex becomes activated and mediates the phosphoryla- tion of IκBs, then IκBs are degradated and the remaining NF-κB dimer is activated and thus translocates to the nucleus where it binds to the DNA consensus sequence of various target genes [9–11].

Evidence fb8f712358

Higher levels of ROS biomarkers are characteristic of AD patients in clinical and preclinical studies, resulting in the alteration of membrane proper- ties, such as fluidity, ion transport, enzyme activities, protein cross- linking, tau protein hyperphosphorylation, autophagic dysfunction and eventually neuron cell death [20].

Evidence 88d2355b0b

ROS has been found not only the regulators of NF-κB, interestingly, iNOS is also regulated by NF-κB.

Evidence 9726bbee55

ROS generation leads to phosphorylation of NF-κB cytoplasmic inhibitor IκBα. NF-κB is thus liberated and transports to the nucleus.

Further- more, naproxen and ibuprofen and perhaps other NSAIDs, can block the inflammation-induced BACE1 transcription and Aβ production [52,87].

Evidence 66ef7688c7

The antioxidants LY231617, and melatonin pro- tect the neurons against the insult and prevented the Tyr42 phosphorylation of IκBα, which acts to protect the neurons against physiological injury by repressing the insult-induced oxidative stress activation of transcription factor NF-κB [86].

Evidence 48ff13a59d

Nicorandil, ATP-sensitive potassium channel opener, reduced apo- ptosis and decreased oxidative stress, downregulated APP695 mRNA and APP695 protein expression, also reduced Aβ 42 levels in the medium [90].

Evidence 8b474abc5f

Two AGEs, such as pentosidine and glyceraldehyde derived pyridinium (GLAP), both found increased in AD brains, were able to upregulate BACE1 through their binding with RAGE and consequent activation of NF-κB, providing a pathologic link between diabetes and AD [49].

Evidence 998c7bfc0f

In addition, COX-2, mainly regulated by NF-κB, is notably upregulated in the brains of AD patients, which may be associated with the formation of Aβ plaque [65].

Evidence 5908244a1e

The activity of NF-κB in the cell models was strongly inhibited by morphine, which was achieved by a marked up-regulation of the inhibitor of IκB.

Evidence 37690a6225

L-Theanine, an amino acid in green tea, reduced Aβ 42 levels in the cortex and hippocampus of the brain, which is mediated by suppres- sion of ERK/p38 and NF-κB as well as the reduction of macromolecular oxidative damage [81].

Evidence has shown that NF-κB can be activated by ERK pathway [44].

Evidence 85d55b40bd

Reports have indicated that MAPK signaling pathways are excessively activated in AD.

Evidence 86e5c83b9f

Then the stimulation of RAGE is able to activate the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling cascades which converge in IκB kinase complex to phosphorylate IκB, thereby release and activate NF-κB, thus trigger NF-κB dependent gene transcription including IL-1β and TNF-α, which in turn induce the translocation of NF-κB to the nucleus [50].

Evidence b0ad9c86cb

In the nervous system, NF-κB has been proposed to serve important function by acting as a transcription regulator: it has roles in inflammation, neuronal survival, differentiation, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth, and synaptic plasticity [5], which are impaired in the progression of various neurodegenerative diseases especially in AD.

Evidence 76861b7746

Elevated miRNA-146a in AD brain has been shown to also specifically target the interleukin-1 associated ki- nase-1 (IRAK-1) mRNAs, it is believed to contribute to altered innate immune responses and neuroinflammation in degenerating human brain cells and tissues in inflammatory neurodegenerative diseases including AD and in primary human brain cells stressed with ROS- generating metal sulfates [69].

Evidence e70691123c

Stimulation of GSK3β but not GSK3α promoted BACE1 gene expression and BACE1-mediated APP processing in vitro by regulating BACE1 gene promoter activity, which was dependent on NF-κB p65-binding elements in the BACE1 pro- moter [51].

Evidence 21cc3829f3

Activation of AKT augments the transactivating activity and produces higher nuclear levels of p65-NF- κB, which is important for neuroprotection.

Evidence fbc24a8c60

Pathogenic effects appear to be mediated via specific interaction of miRNA-125b with the 3′-UTR region of mRNA of 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX) and the vitamin D3 receptor (VDR; VD3R), the downregula- tion of 15-LOX and VDR may therefore be explained by the actions of a single inducible, pro-inflammatory miRNA-125b in hippocampal CA1 of AD brain [71].
