Zusammenfassung
Hepatocyte-specific NEMO knockout mice (NemoΔhepa) show that the IκB kinase subunit NEMO/IKKγ is essential for activating NF-κB, which regulates cellular responses during inflammation, cell proliferation and apoptosis. In the present study we aimed to better characterise the protective pathways in death receptor-mediated hepatocyte apoptosis in NemoΔhepa animals. We thus established NemoΔhepaTRAIL-/-, NemoΔhepaTNFR1-/- and NemoΔhepaTRAIL-/-TNFR1-/- and analyzed its consequences on disease progression compared to NemoΔhepa animals. NemoΔhepaTRAIL-/- like NemoΔhepa mice showed increased apoptosis, proliferation, s…
