Because NF-κB is involved in EMT, regulation of Twist, and CSC phenotype, it is interrelated with TGFβ in EMT and CSC dynamics 51,52, and it was found to correlate with NDRG1 as a tumor suppressor and progression promoter in colon and esophageal cancer, respectively 7,53, we hypothesized that it could be a downstream effector of TGFβ-induced NDRG1 in TNBC. Here, TWIST1 is linked to neoplasm.
