Therapeutic potential of inhibition of the NF-κB pathway in the treatment of inflammation and cancer

Abstract excerpt

NF-κB comprises a family of inducible transcription factors that serve as important regulators of the host immune and inflammatory response. In addition, NF-κB is also involved in protecting cells from undergoing apoptosis in response to DNA damage or cytokine treatment. Stimulation of the NF-κB pathway is mediated by diverse signal transduction cascades. These signals activate the IκB kinases, IKKα and IKKβ,...
