Anti-Apoptotic NF-κB and “Gain of Function” mutp53 in Concert Act Pro-Apoptotic in Response to UVB+IL-1 via Enhanced TNF Production
7 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
In response to genotoxic stress, including UVB radiation, transcription factors NF-κB and p53 inevitably influence the cellular fate. Loss of p53 function has been attributed to malignant transformation and interferes with therapeutic interventions, whereas "gain of function" mutants even enhance tumor promotion. Constitutive NF-κB activation is linked to tumor maintenance and resistance against chemotherapy. The...
