Sequential and synchronized hypertonicity-induced activation of Rel-family transcription factors is required for osmoprotection in renal cells

NF-κB and TonEBP belong to the Rel-superfamily of transcription factors. Several specific stimuli, including hypertonicity which is a key factor for renal physiology, are able to activate them. It has been reported that, after hypertonic challenge, NF-κB activity can be modulated by TonEBP, consider...
