1 Anti-psoriatic drug anthralin activates transcription factor NF-kappa B in murine keratinocytes. Anthralin nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B cells 1, p105 Mus musculus
2 In this study, we show that at little as 10 microM anthralin can activate a prototypic form of transcription factor NF-(kappa)B, a central transcriptional regulator of inflammatory and immune responses. Anthralin nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B cells 1, p105 Mus musculus
3 Two different lines of evidence show that ROIs, in particular H2O2, are second messengers for the anthralin-induced NF-(kappa)B activation. Anthralin nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B cells 1, p105 Mus musculus
4 Our data suggest that ROI-induced NF-(kappa)B plays a role in the anti-psoriatic activity of the drug anthralin. Anthralin nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B cells 1, p105 Mus musculus
