Resumo

Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is activated during early stages of pancreatitis. This transcription factor regulates genes that control many cell activities, including inflammation and survival. There is evidence that activation of NF-κB protects against pancreatitis, and, in other cases, that it promotes this disease. We compared the effects of NF-κB in different mouse models of pancreatitis to understand these complications.
