REL transcription factor mediates VLC ceramide-driven inflammation

Exploratory Score: 0.750 Price: $0.50 inflammation innate immune cells Status: proposed

What This Experiment Tests

Exploratory experiment designed to discover new patterns targeting REL in innate immune cells. Primary outcome: REL activity and inflammatory gene expression

Description

Mechanistic study investigating how VLC ceramides drive persistent inflammation through the REL transcription factor. The experiment examined whether the inflammatory effects of VLC ceramide accumulation are dependent on sustained REL activity. Researchers analyzed the transcriptional program controlled by REL in the context of VLC ceramide-mediated inflammation and tested whether REL is necessary for the inflammatory phenotype.
