Background
NFkB comprises a family of cellular transcription factors that are involved in the inducible expression of a variety of cellular genes that regulate the inflammatory response and control of cell death. In the cytoplasm NFk B is negatively modulated by the inhibitory proteins Ik-B. In turn Ik-B is phosphorylated by a cellular kinase complex called IKK. IKK is a heterodimer composed of two kinases: IKK-a and IKK-b, which phosphorylate Ik-B leading to its degradation and the resulting translocation of NFk B to the nucleus. IKK kinase activity is modulated negatively by pharmaceutical agents such as aspirin and positively by various cellular components such as TNF-a , endotoxins and overexpression of cellular kinases like MEKK1. Aspirin appears to have its effect by inhibiting the binding of ATP to IKK.
