In unstimulated cells NFkB is kept inactive in the cytoplasm by inhibitor of NFkB (IkB) proteins. Dysregulation of the pathway or activation of NFkB by chemo-therapeutic agents may lead to cancer progression or drug resistance. The NFkB activation status was investigated in human lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and hematopoietic cancer cell lines. Additionally, the potential of cytotoxic drugs in activating the NFkB signaling pathway was analyzed. Furthermore, the influence of histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDIs) on the NFkB pathway in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines was investigated. Incubation of NSCLC cells with HDIs reduced the responsiveness of NFkB to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a). It was shown that this reduction was due to drastic downregulation of TNF-receptor 1 by HDIs. This effect of HDIs could also be shown for other tumor entities and normal cell lines. This book is of particular interest for students, scientists, and professionals working on NFkB and\/or HDIs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabriele Imre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639007506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639007503\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Gabriele Imre","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113835540735,"sku":"9783639007503","price":63.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9033490b-894e-47bd-b5cb-cd3367e7f042.jpg?v=1769617497","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anti-apoptotic-and-pro-inflammatory-signaling-in-gabriele-imre-9783639007503","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
