“…This, in turn, initiates the signaling cascade, and upon activation of NF-κB, the p65 subunit translocates to the nucleus, where it regulates the expression of its target genes that are involved in various processes of the inflammatory response [241]. Indeed, PM induces the phosphorylation and nuclear translation of the p65 unit [128,130,136,137,145,169,179,181,231,233]. The PM-induced activation of NF-κB leads to the increased transcription of its target genes and their protein expressions such as IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, ICAM1, COX2 and TNF-α [124,128,130,133,135,138,139,142,169,173,181,227,229,230,243].…”
