"Since the first report from our laboratory in 1995 that curcumin can inhibit activation of the proinflammatory transcription factor NF-kappaB by inhibiting the 26S proteasomal degradation of IkappaBalpha, an inhibitor of NF-kappaB, this yellow pigment has been shown to inhibit the protease activities of the proteasome."
reach
"Next, we examined whether inhibition of IL-1beta-induced IkappaBalpha degradation was through inhibition of IkappaBalpha phosphorylation, the tenocytes were treated with curcumin and then with IL-1beta and examined for IkappaBalpha phosphorylation in the cytoplasm by Western blot analysis."
reach
"The molecular analysis of curcumin induced macrophage polarization demonstrated that curcumin inhibits the M1 macrophage phenotype by inhibiting nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kappaB) and by activating IkappaBalpha, and by promoting the M2 phenotype through the activation of proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma)."
reach
"A recent study suggests that the curcumin derivative EF24 suppresses NF-kappaB activation by directly inhibiting the degradation of I-kappa-B-alpha [XREF_BIBR], the inhibitory cytosolic subunit of NF-kappaB, whose phosphorylation and subsequent degradation is a prerequisite for activation of the NF-kappaB pathway."
