"Studies exploring the potential mechanism by which ethanol suppresses endothelial cell activation revealed that ethanol blocked NF-kappaB nuclear entry in an IkappaBalpha dependent manner."

reach
"These results suggest that while acute alcohol induced IkappaBalpha degradation could be independent of IKK kinase, chronic alcohol induced IkappaBalpha degradation is dependent on IKK kinase activity."

reach
"EtOH degrades I-kappaBalpha, distributes NF-kappaB to the cell nucleus, and activates NF-kappaB protein subunits."

reach
"In contrast, ethanol inhibited the KA- but not the QA induced degradation of IkappaB-alpha and the ensuing DNA fragmentation and loss of striatal GABAergic neurons."

reach
"These new data suggest that inhibition of alcohol inducible degradation of IKB-alpha by TPKC can prevent much of the adverse microvascular actions of ethanol in the intact rat brain."
