Transglutaminase-Mediated Activation of Nuclear Transcription Factor-κB in Cancer Cells: A New Therapeutic Opportunity
28 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
The nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) plays an important role in tumorigenesis by affecting processes such as tumor initiation, promotion, growth, and metastasis. NF-kappaB induces the expression of genes that are known to confer resistance to apoptosis. Therefore, its activation has been associated with the development of chemo- and radiation resistance in cancer cells. NF-kappaB is constitutively activated in...
