NFKB1 and cancer: To determine BAFF activated pathways in HCL-c and HCL-v, the Bonna-12 HCL-c cell line or HCL-v patient-derived cancer cells were stimulated with recombinat BAFF and activation of common BAFF-activated pathways, including the nonclassical nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway, the Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase (Erk) and phosphatidylinositol-3 (PI-3) kinase (PI3K)/AKT serine/threonine kinase (AKT) pathways were measured by western blotting.
