NFKB1 and breast cancer: In a study on breast cancer radiosensitive, HER2 was found to be co-activated with basal and radiation-induced NF-κB activity in radioresistant but not radiosensitive breast cancer cell lines after long-term radiation exposure, indicating that NF-κB-mediated HER2 overexpression is involved in radiation-induced repopulation in heterogeneous tumors [70].
