malfunction | siRNA knockdown of endogenous APE1 impairs high-mobility group box 1-mediated cytokine expression and MAPK activation in THP-1 cells | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | APE1 is a dual regulator of inflammatory signaling to high-mobility group box 1 by human monocytes/macrophages. Forced cytoplasmic overexpression of APE1 profoundly attenuates the upregulation of high-mobility group box 1-mediated reactive oxygen species generation, cytokine secretion, and cyclooxygenase-2 expression by primary monocytes and macrophage-like THP-1 cell lines, the extracellular release of high-mobility group box 1 by activated macrophages is inhibited by APE1 transfection | Homo sapiens |
