NF-KappaB Inhibitor alpha

An I-kappa B protein that inhibits the activity of dimeric NF-KAPPA B P50-REL complexes, sequesters transcription factor NF-kappaB as an inactive complex in the cytoplasm; and prevents NF-kappaB nuclear translocation and DNA binding.

Also Known As:

I Kappa B-alpha Protein; IKappaB-alpha; IKappaBalpha; Major Histocompatibility Complex Enhancer-Binding Protein MAD3; p40 Protein (IKappaB-alpha); I Kappa B alpha Protein; IKappaB alpha; Inhibitor alpha, NF-KappaB; Major Histocompatibility Complex Enhancer Binding Protein MAD3; NF KappaB Inhibitor alpha; alpha, NF-KappaB Inhibitor

Neoplasms (Cancer) 01/01/2012 - "The current study examines associations between polymorphisms within promoter regions of NFKB1 encoding NF-κB1 and NFKBIA encoding IkappaBalpha (IκBα) with both the susceptibility to develop OSCC and the clinicopathological characteristics of the tumors. " 03/01/2010 - "These data suggest that the impairment of the IkappaBalpha functions was produced during the pathogenesis of the tumor cell clone in Chinese HL patients." 01/01/2010 - "In addition, expression of the inhibitor of kappa B alpha (IkappaBalpha) was decreased by 25% in cancer patients. " 04/01/2009 - "Expression of p65 and phosphorylated IkappaBalpha are high in tumors from TRAMP mice.

Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (Encephalomyelitis, Autoimmune Experimental) 03/01/2009 - "In this study, we show that transgenic inactivation of astroglial NF-kappaB (glial fibrillary acidic protein-IkappaB alpha-dominant-negative mice) resulted in reduced disease severity and improved functional recovery following experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. " 12/10/2009 - "Oral administration of triptolide ameliorates the clinical signs of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) by induction of HSP70 and stabilization of NF-kappaB/IkappaBalpha transcriptional complex."

4.	Ischemia 11/01/2012 - "The 36 rats were divided randomly into 3 groups: (A) recombinant adenovirus expressing wild-type κBα(AdIκBαM) group, (B) recombinant adenovirus expressing wild-type IkappaBalpha (AdIκBα) group, and (C) simple ischemia group. " 10/09/2008 - "GKAB blocked ischemia-induced increases in p-NIK and p-IKKalpha levels, and reversed the decline in IkappaBalpha levels.

" 04/12/2002 - "Decrement of IkappaB-alpha was found after 3 h reperfusion in the cytoplasm following global ischemia, which was also blocked by such three antagonists. " 03/01/2001 - "IkappaBalpha levels were decreased in the ischemic (45%) and nonischemic (36%) areas after 10 min of ischemia and remained low in the ischemic area during prolonged ischemia and reperfusion. "
5.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 12/15/2002 - "Interestingly, constitutive activation of NFkappaB following Ad.IkappaBalphaAS infection reduced apoptosis only following injuries associated with IkappaBalpha Y42, but not S32/36, phosphorylation. " 03/01/2003 - "This study examined the effects of either IkappaBalpha overexpression (transgenic mice) or N-acetyl-leucinyl-leucinyl-norleucinal (ALLN) administration (proteosome inhibitor in wild-type mice) on cardiomyocyte secretion of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and on cardiac performance after burn trauma. " 11/01/2000 - "The reduced expression of nuclear NF-kappaB was not due to its inhibition by IkappaBalpha, as very low expression of IkappaBalpha, as well as low levels of p65 and p50 were found in the cytoplasm of PBMC from patients with sepsis and trauma when compared with control subjects. " 01/05/2006 - "Compared to younger (8 weeks) mice, older (18 months) mice exposed to O(3) (day 0 to day 9 after wounding) exhibited delayed wound closure, increased lipid peroxidation (measured as 4-HNE protein adducts) and protein oxidation (measured as carbonyls concentration) and decreased levels of P-IkappaBalpha and TGFbeta protein. " 11/01/2004 - "Inhibiting IkappaBalpha blocked trauma-induced NF-kappaB activity, COX-2 expression and PGE2 production. "
