Nuclear Factor-κB is a Prime Candidate for the Diagnosis and Control of Inflammatory Cardiovascular Disease
Nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) is responsible for the regulation of genes involved in inflammation and immune responses. NF-κB may play an important role in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), atherosclerosis and diabetes. Several therapeutic agents used for the t...

Sumario: | Nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) is responsible for the regulation of genes involved in inflammation and immune responses. NF-κB may play an important role in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), atherosclerosis and diabetes. Several therapeutic agents used for the treatment of CVDs and diabetes, such as pimobendan and sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, exert anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting NF-κB activation; anti-inflammatory therapy may have beneficial effects in CVDs and diabetes. Several pharmacological agents and natural compounds may inhibit NF-κB, and these agents alone or in combination may be used to treat various inflammatory diseases. Immunoglobulin-free light chains could be surrogate biomarkers of NF-κB activation and may be useful for evaluating the efficacy of these agents. This review discusses recent advances in our understanding of how the NF-κB signalling pathway controls inflammation, metabolism and immunity, and how improved knowledge of these pathways may lead to better diagnostics and therapeutics for various human diseases. |
