Abstract

Background: Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) up-regulate proinflammatory cytokines in macrophages, partly through a NF-κB-dependent process.

Results: Blocking neddylation, which helps regulate NF-κB, represses LPS-induced up-regulation of proinflammatory cytokines.

Conclusion: Neddylation plays a role in the up-regulation of NF-κB-regulated proinflammatory cytokines produced by macrophages in response to LPS.

Significance: Inhibition of neddylation represents a novel and effective method for the prevention of LPS-induced proinflammatory cytokines.
