Role of IKK and oscillatory NFκB kinetics in MMP‐9 gene expression and chemoresistance to 5‐fluorouracil in RKO colorectal cancer cells
21 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
Nuclear factor kappa B (NFkappaB) is a central participant in the metastasis and chemoresistance of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, it is not fully understood to what extent NFkappaB contributes to induction of the metastasis-associated matrix metalloprotease-9 (MMP-9) gene and sensitivity to the commonly used chemotherapeutic 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) in CRC. Using the RKO human CRC cell line and two NFkappaB...
