In this study we use the N-substituted benzamides declopramide (3-CPA) and N-acetyl declopramide (Na-3-CPA) to investigate the involvement of the transcription factor NF-kappaB in the induction of apoptosis and surface immunoglobulin kappa (Igkappa) expression in the mouse pre-B cell line 70Z/3. We first showed that 3-CPA-induced apoptosis at doses around 500 microM and that the 3-CPA-induced apoptosis could be suppressed by over-expression of the Bcl-2 protein. Na-3-CPA was shown to be non-apoptotic at doses up to 1-2 mM. On the other hand, Na-3-CPA inhibited LPS-induced Igkappa expression while 3-CPA had no effect. Further analysis showed that while 3-CPA inhibited breakdown of IkappaBalpha, Na-3-CPA inhibited breakdown of IkappaBbeta. In addition, we used a 70Z/3 cell line expressing a dominant negative IkappaBalpha (70Z/3(deltaNIkappaBalpha)). The 70Z/3(deltaNIkappaBalpha) cell line was shown to be more sensitive to apoptosis and cytotoxicity induced by 3-CPA as well as by LPS, probably due to a defect in NF-kappaB rescue mechanism. Taken together, our data implicate distinct roles for IkappaBalpha and IkappaBbeta in regulating various NF-kappaB activities.

Non-structural protein 3 (Nsp3) is the largest protein encoded by the coronavirus (CoV) genome. It consists of multiple domains that perform critical functions during the viral life cycle. CoV-Y is the most C-terminal domain of Nsp3, and it exhibits evolutionary conservation across diverse CoVs; however, the exact biological function of CoV-Y remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers discovered a specific motif (YDDΦxΦ) in NF-κB pathway substrates that helps these substrates dock with IKK dimers, showing a link between how well they bind and IKK activity, particularly in IκBα phosphorylation and degradation.
- The study suggests that a certain phosphorylation event on this motif reduces its ability to dock with IKK, which can influence NF-κB signaling, and also indicates that disrupting IKK dimerization disrupts substrate binding.

Introduction: AFY06 (LR-AFY06) is a microorganism isolated from naturally fermented yogurt in Xinjiang, China.
Methods: In this study, we investigated the effects and mechanisms of LR-AFY06 in a mouse model of inflammation-associated colon cancer. The mouse model was established by azoxymethane/dextran sulfate sodium (AOM/DSS) induction.

The thymus is an essential component of maternal immune systems that play key roles in recognizing the placenta as immunologically foreign. The inhibitor of the NF-κB (IκB) family has essential effects on the NF-κB pathway; however, it is unclear whether early pregnancy modulates the expression of the IκB family in the thymus. In this study, maternal thymuses were sampled on day 16 of nonpregnancy and different gestation stages in the ovine, and the expression of IκB proteins was analyzed.

NF-κB signalling is largely controlled by the family of 'inhibitors of NF-κB' (IκB). The relevant databases indicate that the genome of rainbow trout contains multiple gene copies coding for iκbα (), iκbε (), iκbδ (), iκbζ (), and , but it lacks iκbβ () and iκbη (). Strikingly, three paralogs are apparently present in salmonid fish, two of which share a high sequence identity, while the third putative gene is significantly less like its two paralogs.
