NFKB1 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma: Abnormal transmembrane signal pathways, including prosurvival pathways (PI3K/Akt, NF-κB, MAPK, STAT3, Wnt/β-catenin) and proapoptosis pathways (p53, endoplasmic reticulum stress) in NPC cells, have been proved to be associated with the development, progression, and prognosis of NPC by influencing biological processes such as cell cycle, apoptosis, and DNA repair.
