NFKB1 and cancer: Several typical examples include the receptor tyrosine kinase/Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (RTK/KRAS) pathway, tumor protein P53 (p53) pathway, transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) pathway, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt (PI-3-kinase/Akt) pathway, etc. Interestingly, ample evidences suggest that these signaling pathways frequently promote cancer progression through the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activation [3,4].
