Topicalapplication of the Tat-ANX1 protein markedly inhibited TPAinducedear edema and expression levels of cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) as well as pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1 beta (IL-1¦Â), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-¦Á). Also, application of Tat-ANX1 protein significantlyinhibited nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-¦ÊB) and phosphorylation of p38 and extracellular signalregulatedkinase (ERK) mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) in TPA-treated mice ears. The results indicate thatTat-ANX1 protein inhibits the inflammatory response byblocking NF-¦ÊB and MAPK activation in TPA-induced miceears. Therefore, the Tat-ANX1 protein may be useful as atherapeutic agent against inflammatory skin diseases. %K Cytokine %K Inflammation %K MAPK %K Tat-ANX1 %K TPA %U http://www.jbmb.or.kr/jbmb/pdf.php?data=MTMwMTIyMTdAcGRmX3JhaW50cmFjZV9sZWV5c0AlNUI0NS02JTVEMTIwNjI2MDcxNl8lMjgzNTQtMDU5JTI5Qk1CXzEyLTAzNi5wZGY=
