Acrolein inhibited NF-kappaB1 (p50) binding to the IL-2 promoter in a chromatin immunoprecipitation assay by > 99%.

Specificity of the response to hypoxia was determined by comparing the effects of hypoxic exposure with exposure to oxidants such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and nitric oxide (NO), as well as to the sulfhydryl reactive chemical acrolein.
In addition, hypoxia increased the degradation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) inhibitor IkappaB and enhanced the translocation of the p50 subunit of NF-kappaB to the nuclear membrane.

Moreover, HCA inhibited LPS-induced p50 and p65 translocation resulting in the inhibition of the DNA binding activity of the NF-kappa B, a central regulator of iNOS.
