    The NF-B/Rel familyCharacteristic feature: homo- and heterodimeric TFs, which in non-stimulated cells are found inactive in the cytoplasm [in a complex with IB-repressors]. Active DNA-binding form: Dimers with different members of the NF-B/Rel familyInactive cytoplasmic form: inhibitory factor/domain in addition

    Upon stimulation, active NF-B rapidly translocates to the nucleus where it binds B-sites and activates target genes.

    Link: inflammation - cancer A causal connection between inflammation and cancer has been suspected for many years.

    NF-B might serve as the missing link between these two processes.NF-B becomes activated in response to inflammatory stimuliConstitutive activation of NF-B has been associated with cancer,

    Mechanisms of NF-kB activation promoting leukemia Mechanisms by which NF-kB activation can contribute to leukaemia and lymphogenesis Input: NF-kB can be constitutively activated in myeloid and lymphoid cells in response to growth factors and cytokines or the expression of certain viral oncoproteins. Gene errors: Persistent NF-kB activation can also be brought about by chromosomal rearrangements that affect genes that encode NF-kB or I-kB.Autocrine loop: Once NF-kB is activated, it can lead to the production of cytokines and growth factors, such as CD40 ligand (CD40L), that further propagates its activation. Growth - apoptosis: It also activates the transcription of cell-cycle regulators, such as cyclins D1 and D2, which promote G1- to S-phase transition, or inhibitors of apoptosis, such as BCL-XL, cIAPs and A1/BFL1.1.2.3.4.Tumour cells in which NF-B is constitutively active are highly resistant to anticancer drugs or ionizing radiation.

    Breast cancer: Signalling pathways that stimulate proliferationSignaling induction of cyclin D1. Two signalling pathways contribute to the induction of cyclin D1 transcription in mammary epithelial cells. One pathway, which leads to activation of transcription factor AP1, is activated by growth factors (GF), which bind to receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK). This pathway relies on activation of RAS and MAPK cascades. The second pathway is activated by the TNF-family receptor activator of NF-kB ligand (RANKL), which binds to the receptor activator of NF-kB (RANK). This pathway, which leads to activation of NF-kB, depends on the IKKa subunit of the IKK complex.After nuclear translocation, NF-kB activates cyclin D1 expression, leading to cell-cycle progression. The expression of GFs and RANKL is regulated by various hormonal stimuli during mammary-gland development. Aberrant and persistent activation of either pathway can lead to deregulated proliferation of mammary epithelial cells.
