Study 1: Cytokine-induced proapoptotic gene expression in insulin-producing cells is related to rapid, sustained, and nonoscillatory nuclear factor-kappa B activation.
"Cytokines, such as IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha, contribute to pancreatic beta-cell death in type 1 diabetes mellitus. The transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) mediates cytokine-induced beta-cell apoptosis. Paradoxically, NF-kappa B has mostly antiapoptotic effects in other cell types. The cellular actions of NF-kappa B depend on the cell type, the nature and duration of the stimulus, the...
