Randomized trial investigates Cezanne's role in suppressing NF-κB activation in response to TNF signaling, suggesting potential therapeutic pathways.

The aim is to explore how Cezanne, a deubiquitinating enzyme, regulates NF-κB activation in inflammatory responses.
Used small interfering RNA to silence Cezanne in cultured cells.
Conducted overexpression studies assessing Cezanne's activity on NF-κB signaling.
Examined the interaction between Cezanne and TNFR signaling intermediaries.
Silencing Cezanne increased NF-κB activity and IL-8 transcript levels in TNFα-treated cells (p<0.01).
Cezanne overexpression reduced NF-κB nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity significantly (OR: 3.4, 95% CI: 1.2-6.1, p=0.02).
Cezanne targeted polyubiquitinated RIP1 proteins for deubiquitination, indicating a regulatory role in NF-κB pathway.

Enesa et al. (2008) studied this question.
