NFKB1 and carcinoma: In epithelial carcinomas, ST6GAL1 expression confers increased resistance to chemotherapy, hypoxia, and nutrient deprivation by promoting a stem-like phenotype, bolstering signaling through pro-survival and pro-proliferative EGFR, HIF-1α, and NF-κB pathways (Schultz et al., 2016; Britain et al., 2017; Chakraborty et al., 2018; Holdbrooks et al., 2018; Britain et al., 2018; Jones et al., 2018).
