NF‐κB and the link between inflammation and cancer
Abstract
Summary: The nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB) transcription factor family has been considered the central mediator of the inflammatory process and a key participant in innate and adaptive immune responses. Coincident with the molecular cloning of NF‐κB/RelA and identification of its kinship to the v‐Rel oncogene, it was anticipated that NF‐κB itself would be involved in cancer development. Oncogenic activating mutations in NF‐κB genes are rare and have been identified only in some lymphoid malignancies, while most NF‐κB activating mutations in lymphoid malignancies occur in upstream signaling components that feed into NF‐κB. NF‐κB activation is also prevalent in carcinomas, in which NF‐κB activation is mainly driven by inflammatory cytokines within the tumor microenvironment. Importantly, however, in all malignancies, NF‐κB acts in a cell type‐specific manner: activating survival genes within cancer cells and inflammation‐promoting genes in components of the tumor microenvironment. Yet, the complex biological functions of NF‐κB have made its therapeutic targeting a challenge.

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.
