1 We now document that overexpression of hPNPase(old-35) results in increased production of ROS, leading to activation of the nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB pathway. Reactive Oxygen Species polyribonucleotide nucleotidyltransferase 1 Homo sapiens
2 The generation of ROS and activation of NF-kappaB by hPNPase(old-35) are prevented by treatment with a cell-permeable antioxidant, N-acetyl-l-cysteine. Reactive Oxygen Species polyribonucleotide nucleotidyltransferase 1 Homo sapiens
3 The generation of ROS and activation of NF-kappaB by hPNPase(old-35) are prevented by treatment with a cell-permeable antioxidant, N-acetyl-l-cysteine. Acetylcysteine polyribonucleotide nucleotidyltransferase 1 Homo sapiens
4 Infection with Ad.hPNPase(old-35) enhances the production of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8, two classical NF-kappaB-responsive cytokines, and this induction is inhibited by N-acetyl-l-cysteine. Acetylcysteine polyribonucleotide nucleotidyltransferase 1 Homo sapiens
5 We hypothesize that hPNPase(old-35) might play a significant role in producing pathological changes associated with aging by generating proinflammatory cytokines via ROS and NF-kappaB. Reactive Oxygen Species polyribonucleotide nucleotidyltransferase 1 Homo sapiens
