EGFR and NF-κB: partners in cancer.
Oncogenic proteins cooperate to promote tumor development and progression by sustaining cell proliferation, survival and invasiveness. Constitutive epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and nuclear factor κb (NF-κB) activities are seen in multiple solid tumors and combine to provide oncogenic signals to cancer cells. Understanding how these oncogenic pathways are connected is crucial, given t...
متن کاملColorectal cancer and NF-κB signaling pathway
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death. Progress has been made in the development of chemotherapy for advanced CRC. Targeted therapies against VEGF or EGFR are now commonly used. However, many cases show that tolerance develops to such treatments; therefore, new strategies are required to replace or complement current therapies. Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) transcripti...
متن کاملHow Neoliberalism Is Shaping the Supply of Unhealthy Commodities and What This Means for NCD Prevention
Alcohol, tobacco, and unhealthy foods contribute greatly to the global burden of non-communicable disease (NCD). Member states of the World Health Organization (WHO) have recognized the critical need to address these three key risk factors through global action plans and policy recommendations. The 2013-2020 WHO action plan identifies the need to engage economic, agricultural and other relevant...
متن کاملNF-κB Signaling in Gastric Cancer
Gastric cancer is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Diet, obesity, smoking and chronic infections, especially with Helicobacter pylori, contribute to stomach cancer development. H. pylori possesses a variety of virulence factors including encoded factors from the cytotoxin-associated gene pathogenicity island (cagPAI) or vacuolating cytotoxin A (VacA). Most of the cagPAI-encoded produc...
متن کاملUncapping NF-κB activity in pancreatic cancer.
Living cells must be capable of rapidly responding to intrinsic and environmental cues to ensure normal development and homeostasis. The NF-jB transcription factor mediates a series of such rapid-response programs, serving as a master regulator of gene transcription in cells subjected to inflammation, irradiation, or other stress states (Karin, 2009). While cells must be able to rapidly respond...
