概要 | Nucling is a proapoptotic protein that regulates the apoptosome and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) signalling pathways. Strong stimuli, such as Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), induce the simultaneous secretion of cytokines following the activation of NF-kappa B. Proinflammatory cytokines can induce liver damage through several mechanisms such as increases in oxidative stress and apoptotic reactions leading to tissue necrosis. Herein, we show that Nucling-knockout (KO) mice are resistant to LPS that consistently caused mortality in wild-type (WT) counterparts. Although serum levels of cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1 beta and IL-6 did not differ significantly between WT and Nucling-KO mice after the LPS challenge, hepatocytes of Nucling-KO mice were refractory to LPS- or TNF-alpha-induced cell death. These results were consistent with the decreased expression of proapoptotic proteins including apoptosis-inducing factor and cleaved form of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end-labelling positive cells in the liver of Nucling-KO mice after the administration of a lethal dose o |
