Transcription factor NF-κB as a potential biomarker for oxidative stress

Abstract

There is increasing interest in the involvement of transcription factors, such as of the transcription factor NF-kappaB (nuclear factor-kappaB), in the pathogenesis of various diseases. NF-kappaB is involved in the control of the transcription of a variety of cellular genes that regulate the inflammatory response by the production of cytokines, chemokines, cell adhesion molecules and acute phase proteins. The involvement of NF-kappaB is especially of interest as it is activated by oxidative stress and its activation can be modulated by antioxidant compounds. The activation of NF-kappaB can be determined by the electromobility shift assay (EMSA) with a NF-kappaB binding-site-specific probe. EMSA can also be used on human mononuclear cells isolated from peripheral blood, which could make the assay applicable for clinical trials. The critical steps of the EMSA are discussed, addressing some pitfalls of the assay. The procedure that can be used to express NF-kappaB activity in human subjects is evaluated. This offers the possibility to use NF-kappaB as a functional biomarker of oxidative stress as illustrated by several examples of in vitro and in vivo studies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
