Abstract

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D3] is known to have anti-inflammatory activity; however, the molecular mechanism remains poorly defined. Here we show that the nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR) is directly involved in the regulation of NF-kappaB activation, a pathway essential for inflammatory response. In mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) derived from VDR-/- mice, the basal level of kappaB inhibitor (IkappaB) alpha protein was markedly decreased compared with VDR+/- MEFs; however, degradation of IkappaBalpha and its phosphorylation in response to TNF-alpha treatment or Salmonella infection were not altered in VDR-/- cells, neither were the levels of IkappaB kinase-alpha and IkappaB kinase-beta proteins. Consistent with IkappaBalpha reduction, p65 accumulation in the nucleus was markedly increased in unstimulated VDR-/- cells. In addition, the physical interaction between VDR and p65 was absent in VDR-/- MEFs, which may free p65 and increase its activity. Consequently, these alterations combined led to a marked increase in nuclear p65 DNA binding and NF-kappaB transcriptional activity; consistently, induction of IL-6 by TNF-alpha or IL-1beta was much more robust in VDR-/- than in VDR+/- cells, indicating that VDR-/- cells are...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
