Background Macrophages participate in all stages of the inflammatory response, and the excessive release of inflammatory mediators and other cytokines synthesized and secreted by macrophages is fundamentally linked to an uncontrolled inflammatory response. The zinc finger 667 (ZNF667) protein, a novel DNA-binding protein, has been shown to play a vital role in oxidative stress. However, none of the target genes in macrophages or the potential roles of ZNF667 have been elucidated to date. Objectives The present study was designed to investigate the effects of ZNF667 on LPS-induced inflammation ...
