Article Synopsis
  • NF-kappaB plays a role in downregulating TNF-induced JNK activation, which is linked to cell death, but the exact mechanism remains unclear.
  • Research with murine embryonic fibroblasts lacking TRAF2, TRAF5, or p65 NF-kappaB reveals that TNF stimulation causes an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) that drives extended MAPK activation and cell death.
  • The study shows that dying cells exhibit both necrotic and apoptotic characteristics, with necrotic cell death significantly reduced by antioxidants, highlighting the role of TRAF-mediated NF-kappaB in controlling ROS accumulation and cell death pathways.
