A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

Nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) transcription factors are key regulators of immune, inflammatory, and acute-phase responses and are also implicated in the control of cell proliferation and apoptosis. While perturbations in NF-kappaB activity impact strongly on B- and T-cell development, little is known about the role for NF-kappaB in natural killer (NK) cell differentiation. Inhibitors of NF-kappaB (IkappaBs) act to restrain NF-kappaB activation. We analyzed the cell-intrinsic effects of deficiencies in 2 IkappaB members (IkappaBalpha and IkappaBepsilon) on NK cell differentiation. Neither IkappaBalpha nor IkappaBepsilon deficiency had major effects on NK cell generation, while their combined absence led to NF-kappaB hyperactivation, resulting in reduced NK cell numbers, incomplete NK cell maturation, and defective interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) production. Complementary analysis of transgenic mice expressing an NF-kappaB-responsive reporter gene showed increased NF-kappaB activity at the stage of NK cell development corresponding to the partial block observed in IkappaBalpha x IkappaBepsilon-deficient mice. These results define a critical window in NK cell development in which NF-kappaB levels may be tightly controlled.
