Tribbles-1 Expression and Its Function to Control Inflammatory Cytokines, Including Interleukin-8 Levels are Regulated by miRNAs in Macrophages and Prostate Cancer Cells.

The pseudokinase controls cell function in a range of contexts, by regulating MAP kinase activation and mediating protein degradation the COP1 ubiquitin ligase. regulates polarization of macrophages and dysregulated Trib1 expression in murine models has been shown to alter atherosclerosis burden and adipose homeostasis. Recently, has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of prostate cancer, where it is often overexpressed, even in the absence of genetic amplification.
