Targeting Nuclear Factor-Kappa B to Overcome Resistance to Chemotherapy
Intrinsic or acquired resistance to chemotherapeutic agents is a common phenomenon and a major challenge in the treatment of cancer patients. Chemoresistance is defined by a complex network of factors including multi-drug resistance proteins, reduced cellular uptake of the drug, enhanced DNA repair, intracellular drug inactivation, and evasion of apoptosis. Pre-clinical models have demonstrated...
متن کاملActivation of nuclear factor-kappa B is linked to resistance to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.
The nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB system is a promising anticancer target due to its role in oncogenesis and chemoresistance in preclinical models. To provide evidence in a clinical setting on the role of NF-kappaB in breast cancer, we aimed to study the value of basal NF-kappaB/p65 in predicting resistance to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and to characterise the pharmacodynamic changes in NF-kappaB/p...
متن کاملNuclear Factor-kappa B as a Resistance Factor to Platinum-Based Antineoplasic Drugs
Platinum drugs continue to be major chemotherapy drugs for cancer treatment. Nevertheless, acquired or intrinsic resistance to these compounds is common in human tumors. One important mechanism for this resistance is the avoidance of cells entering the apoptotic pathway. Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B, NF-kappaB) is a pleiotropic transcription factor key in determining the death threshold o...
متن کاملOvercoming cancer therapy resistance by targeting inhibitors of apoptosis proteins and nuclear factor-kappa B.
Chemo- or radioresistance markedly impairs the efficacy of cancer therapy and involves anti-apoptotic signal transduction pathways that prevent cell death. In resistant cancer cells, both inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) play a pivotal role in preventing apoptosis triggered by a variety of stresses, facilitating them as potential targets in cancer t...
متن کاملTargeting Notch to overcome radiation resistance
Radiotherapy represents an important therapeutic strategy in the treatment of cancer cells. However, it often fails to eliminate all tumor cells because of the intrinsic or acquired treatment resistance, which is the most common cause of tumor recurrence. Emerging evidences suggest that the Notch signaling pathway is an important pathway mediating radiation resistance in tumor cells. Successful...
