Abstract:

Nuclear factor B (NFB) is a transcription factor that plays an important role in carcinogenesis as well as in the regulation of inflammatory response. NFB is constitutively expressed in tumours where it induces the expression of genes which promote cell proliferation, apoptotic events, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis. Furthermore, many cancer cells show aberrant or constitutive NFB activation that mediates resistance to chemo- and radio-therapy. Therefore, the inhibition of NFB activity appears a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment. In this review, we focus on the role of NFB in carcinogenesis and summarize actual inhibitors of NFB that could be potential therapeutic target in cancer therapy.
