RelB, a member of NF-kappaB/Rel family of transcriptional regulators, is an immediate-early gene product that mediates constitutive lymphoid-specific kappaB-directed gene expression. Data presented here show that RelB also functions as a mitogen-inducible DNA binding activity in fibroblasts. Activation of RelB was observed in three mouse fibroblast lines, and agents activating RelB in quiescent and cycling cells included platelet-derived growth factor, phorbol ester, and serum. Additional data implicate cyclic AMP in the regulation of RelB activity. These findings suggest that RelB may play different roles in different cell types.

Bee pollen, a rich nutritional food, was employed to develop a raw material for skin whitening. The polyphenol profile and antioxidant, antityrosinase, and anti-melanogenesis activities of the ethanol extracts of five species of bee pollens (EEBPs) were determined. The results showed that there were a total of 121 phenolic compounds in these EEBPs.

Article Synopsis
- Bacterial infections are a major issue for patients with cirrhosis, impacting their overall health due to their role in increasing morbidity and mortality.
- This study investigates the role of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) in the activation of human Kupffer cells (HKCs) by gram-negative bacteria, specifically looking at how E. coli influences HKC activation through specific signaling pathways.
- The findings suggest that cPLA2 is crucial for HKC activation in response to E. coli, linking its activity to the regulation by transcription factors STAT3 and RelB via the ERK and non-canonical NF-κB signaling pathways, potentially paving the way for therapeutic strategies in managing bacterial infections in cirrhotic patients

Background: Tumor cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME) release exosomes that influence macrophage phenotypes, either pro-tumorigenic or anti-tumorigenic. This mechanism, especially in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), remains poorly understood. This study investigates the role of HNSCC exosomes in macrophage polarization.

Male-typical behaviors such as aggression and mating, which reflect sexual libido in male mice, are regulated by the hypothalamus, a crucial part of the nervous system. Previous studies have demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs), especially , play a vital role in reproduction and the neural control of behaviors. However, it remains unclear whether affects reproduction through the hypothalamus-mediated regulation of male-typical behaviors.
