1 ROFA stimulated a time- and dose-dependent increase in IL-6 messenger RNA (mRNA), which was preceded by the activation of nuclear proteins binding to the NF-kappaB sequence motif in the IL-6 promoter. rofa interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
2 ROFA stimulated a time- and dose-dependent increase in IL-6 messenger RNA (mRNA), which was preceded by the activation of nuclear proteins binding to the NF-kappaB sequence motif in the IL-6 promoter. rofa interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
3 The IL-6 response was inhibited by the metal chelator deferoxamine and the free radical scavenger N-acetyl-L-cysteine, suggesting that the activation of NF-kappaB may be mediated through reactive oxygen intermediates generated by transition metals found in ROFA. rofa interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
