NF-κB effects on apoptosis and necrosis vary markedly by cellular context and can include sensitization to death-inducing stimuli.
its role in apoptosis and necrosis can vary markedly in different cell contexts, and NF-kappaB can sensitize cells to death-inducing stimuli in some instances
Improper regulation of programmed cell death by NF-κB has pathological consequences ranging from neurodegeneration to cancer and may reduce therapy effectiveness.
improper regulation of PCD by NF-kappaB can have severe pathologic consequences, ranging from neurodegeneration to cancer, where its activity often precludes effective therapy
By 2006, substantial progress had been made in understanding NF-κB mechanisms in apoptosis and necrosis and in the regulation of its anti- versus proapoptotic activities.
There has been substantial progress in understanding NF-kappaB's mode of action in apoptosis and necrosis and the mechanisms that regulate its anti- vs proapoptotic activities.
NF-κB generally protects cells by inducing genes encoding antiapoptotic and antioxidizing proteins.
Although NF-kappaB generally protects cells by inducing the expression genes encoding antiapoptotic and antioxidizing proteins
NF-κB transcription factors are major regulators of programmed cell death, including apoptosis and necrosis.
