Abstract

Significance: Host genetics, environmental factors, and EBV infection together contribute to nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) development. A number of critical genetic and epigenetic events contributing to tumor development has been reported. However, the genomic alterations in NPC have not been completely deciphered. We used the whole-exome sequencing approach to study the somatic mutations in NPC, and an APOBEC-mediated mutagenesis signature was revealed. Importantly, multiple loss-of-function mutations in the NF-κB–negative regulators (NFKBIA,CYLD, and TNFAIP3) were discovered in NPC tumors, and we functionally confirmed that the NFKBIA loss-of-function mutations induce damaging effects on the WT proteins. Detection of these mutations emphasizes the critical role of NF-κB signaling in NPC tumorigenesis and provides perspectives for targeting this pathway in NPC treatment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
