## Abstract The pleiotropic cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF‐α) can induce apoptosis but also supports cell survival pathways. Among the possible anti‐apoptotic mechanisms of TNF‐α is the activation of the transcription factor NF‐κB. Since reactive oxygen species (ROS) are assumed to contr

## Abstract Tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNFα) induces cancer development and metastasis, which is prominently achieved by nuclear factor‐kappa B (NF‐κB) activation. TNFα‐induced NF‐κB activation enhances cellular mechanisms including proliferation, migration, and invasion. KiSS1, a key regulator o
In infectious diseases of the central nervous system astrocytes respond to inflammatory cytokines like tumor necrosis factor ␣ (TNF␣) by activation of the transcription factor NF-B, mediated by the proteolysis of its inhibitors IB␣ and IB. We studied the kinetics of NF-B induction by TNF␣ in primar
## Abstract Ambiguous roles of genotoxic anticancer therapeutic‐induced NF‐κB activation in regulating gene expression (activation or suppression) and apoptosis (anti‐ or pro‐apoptosis) have recently been suggested. In order to clarify this controversy and determine the usefulness of NF‐κB blockage
## Abstract Nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) is a central participant in the metastasis and chemoresistance of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, it is not fully understood to what extent NFκB contributes to induction of the metastasis‐associated matrix metalloprotease‐9 (__MMP‐9__) gene and sensitivit
In response to a diverse array of signals, IkappaBalpha is targeted for phosphorylation-dependent degradation by the proteasome, thereby activating NF-kappaB. Here we demonstrate a role of the cleavage product of IkappaBalpha in various death signals. During apoptosis of NIH3T3, Jurkat, Rat-1, and L
