چکیده

The development of solid tumors is regulated by dynamic interactions between evolving neoplastic cells and their microenvironment. Luo et al. (2007) recently demonstrated that tumorinfiltrating immune cells expressing RANKL induce activation and nuclear localization of IKKα in prostatic epithelial tumor cells. This leads to repression of maspin, a critical suppressor of metastasis, and thus commits malignant prostatic epithelial cells to a metastatic fate.

IKKα controls ATG16L1 degradation to prevent ER stress during inflammation

Inhibition of the IκB kinase complex (IKK) has been implicated in the therapy of several chronic inflammatory diseases including inflammatory bowel diseases. In this study, using mice with an inactivatable IKKα kinase (IkkαAA/AA), we show that loss of IKKα function markedly impairs epithelial regeneration in a model of acute colitis. Mechanistically, this is caused by compromised secretion of c...

LGR5 expression is controled by IKKα in basal cell carcinoma through activating STAT3 signaling pathway

Basal cell carcinomas (BCC) of the skin are the most common of human cancers. The noncanonical NF-κB pathway is dependent on IKKα. However, the role of IKKα in BCC has not been elucidated. We show here that IKKα is expressed in the nucleus in BCC and non-malignant diseases. Nuclear IKKα could directly bind to the promoters of inflammation factors and LGR5, a stem cell marker, in turn, upregulat...

Interleukin-17 and Interleukin-22 Induced Proinflammatory Cytokine Production in Keratinocytes via Inhibitor of Nuclear Factor κB Kinase-α Expression

BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of psoriasis may involve the interleukin (IL)-23 and Th17-mediated immune responses. Th17 cells secret IL-17 and IL-22, which mediates dermal inflammation and acanthosis. OBJECTIVE As inhibitor of nuclear factor κB kinase-α (IKKα) has been previously identified as a primary regulator of keratinocyte differentiation and proliferation, we proposed that IL-17 and IL-2...

Epithelial-intrinsic IKKα expression regulates group 3 innate lymphoid cell responses and antibacterial immunity

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are critical for maintaining epithelial barrier integrity at mucosal surfaces; however, the tissue-specific factors that regulate ILC responses remain poorly characterized. Using mice with intestinal epithelial cell (IEC)-specific deletions in either inhibitor of κB kinase (IKK)α or IKKβ, two critical regulators of NFκB activation, we demonstrate that IEC-intrinsic ...

Altered TRAF3 and IKKα expression associated with advanced tumor stage and metastasis and poor prognosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

Objective: Tumor necrosis factor receptor associated factor 3 (TRAF3) and IκB Kinase alpha (IKKα) are both thought to be involved in human carcinogenesis. This study analyzed their expression in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma for association with clinicopathological data, and survival of patients. Methods: The expression of TRAF3 and IKKα in 50 ICC specimens, 50 adjacent normal tissues and 16 ...
