K44M | gene transfer of a dominant negative (kinase-dead form) IKKbeta into rat soleus muscles show complete inhibition of 7-day disuse-induced activation of a kappaB reporter gene, while overexpression of wild-type IKKbeta does not. Overexpression of a dominant-negative mutant IKKbeta-EGFP fusion protein show that atrophy is inhibited by 50%, indicating that IKKbeta is required for the atrophy process | Rattus norvegicus |
K44M | overexpression of a dominant negative (kinase-dead form) IKKbeta plus dominant-negative IKKalpha show an additive effect on the inhibition of disuse atrophy (70%), suggesting that both kinases of the IKK complex are required for muscle atrophy | Rattus norvegicus |
K44M | overexpression of a dominat-negative (kinase-dead form) of the IKKalpha protein decreases unloading-induced NF-kappaB activation and inhibits atrophy by 50%, while overexpression of the wild-type protein has no effect | Rattus norvegicus |
S176E/S180E | overexpression of a constitutively active IKKalpha-EGFP fusion protein shows that IKKalpha is sufficient to activate NF-kappaB activity and induce fiber atrophy in muscle | Rattus norvegicus |
S177E/S181E | overexpression of a constitutively active IKKbeta-EGFP show a marked increase in NF-kappaB activity and a decrease in fiber size of weight-bearing soleus muscles, while muscles overexpressing wild-type IKKbeta-HA have no effect | Rattus norvegicus |
