Extracellular and intracellular mediators of inflammation, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and NF-kappaB (NF-κB), play major roles in breast cancer pathogenesis, progression and relapse. SLUG, a mediator of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process, is over-expressed in CD44(+)/CD24(-) tumor initiating breast cancer cells and in basal-like carcinoma, a subtype of aggressive breast cancer endowed...
