Evidences complex(GO:"NF-kappaB complex") to p(HGNC:IL6)

NF-κB positively regulates the transcription of interleukin 6 (IL6) family of cytokines such as IL6, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) [184], which in-turn induce the differentiation of NSC into astrocytes by activating transcription factors STAT3, AP-1, and NF-κB itself

IL6 is another NF-κB – induced [256-260] pro-inflammatory cytokine up-regulated and integrally involved in the etio-pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease

Furthermore, NF-κB - induced IL6 has been demonstrated to evoke hyperphosphorylation of tau at Ser202 and Thr205 via the activation of the cdk5/p35 complex

Amyloid-β also induces microglial activation that results in NF-κB – induced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNFα, IL1β, IL6, and IL8 from the microglia resulting in neuronal death

Increased presence of NF-κB mediated IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α cytokines have been reported in the affected tissues, serum and CSF of AD patients
