NFKB1 and lobular neoplasia: NF-κB and TNF-α are involved in the progression of LN (41, 42), and we simultaneously investigated the inflammatory indices, NF-κB p65 and TNF-α levels, in serum and renal tissues of patients with LN, and found that NF-κB p65 and TNF-α expression in LN was significantly higher than that in healthy controls.
