TLDR
The NF-kappaB proteins themselves and proteins regulated by it have been linked to cellular transformation, proliferation, apoptosis suppression, invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis as mentioned in this paper.

IKKbeta links inflammation and tumorigenesis in a mouse model of colitis-associated cancer.

TL;DR: It is shown that although deletion of IKKbeta in intestinal epithelial cells does not decrease inflammation, it leads to a dramatic decrease in tumor incidence without affecting tumor size, which is linked to increased epithelial apoptosis during tumor promotion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer is a Preventable Disease that Requires Major Lifestyle Changes

TL;DR: Evidence that inflammation is the link between the agents/factors that cause cancer and the agents that prevent it is presented and evidence that cancer is a preventable disease that requires major lifestyle changes is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular targets of dietary agents for prevention and therapy of cancer

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that numerous agents identified from fruits and vegetables can interfere with several cell-signaling pathways and the active principle identified in fruit and vegetables and the molecular targets modulated may be the basis for how these dietary agents not only prevent but also treat cancer and other diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential Therapeutic Effects of Curcumin, the Anti-inflammatory Agent, Against Neurodegenerative, Cardiovascular, Pulmonary, Metabolic, Autoimmune and Neoplastic Diseases

TL;DR: Evidence for the potential role of curcumin in the prevention and treatment of various proinflammatory chronic diseases is provided and its features, combined with the pharmacological safety and negligible cost, renderCurcumin an attractive agent to explore further.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overview of cell death signaling pathways

TL;DR: Changing attention is being focused on alternative signaling pathways leading to cell death including necrosis, autophagy, and mitotic catastrophe.

Inflammation and cancer

TL;DR: It is now becoming clear that the tumour microenvironment, which is largely orchestrated by inflammatory cells, is an indispensable participant in the neoplastic process, fostering proliferation, survival and migration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation and cancer: back to Virchow?

TL;DR: A rationale for the use of cytokine and chemokine blockade, and further investigation of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, in the chemoprevention and treatment of malignant diseases is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activators and target genes of Rel/NF-kappaB transcription factors.

TL;DR: It is argued that NF-κB functions more generally as a central regulator of stress responses and pairing stress responsiveness and anti-apoptotic pathways through the use of a common transcription factor may result in increased cell survival following stress insults.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Essential Role for NF-κB in Preventing TNF-α-Induced Cell Death

TL;DR: Reintroduction of RelA into RelA−/− fibroblasts resulted in enhanced survival, demonstrating that the presence ofrelA is required for protection from TNF-α.
Journal ArticleDOI

Signalling pathways of the TNF superfamily: a double-edged sword.

TL;DR: Two different tumour-necrosis factors, first isolated in 1984, were found to be cytotoxic to tumour cells and to induce tumour regression in mice, and blockers of TNF have been approved for human use in treating TNF-linked autoimmune diseases.
