This degradation, in turn, allows NF-B activity to increase, resulting in increased transcription of pro-inflammatory genes, including TNF-, IL-1, IL-6, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) ( In addition to the NF-B pathway, the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade is also an important regulator of inflammatory responses in CNS microglia
