Fig. 1. NF-κB is a central regulator of the transcriptional responses to a wide variety of physiological and environmental stimuli
Signals ranging from pro-inflammatory cytokines to stresses including reactive oxygen species (ROS), ultraviolet light (UV) and DNA double strand breaks (DSB), to engagement of antigen receptors lead to activation of NF-κB. Several inherited and somatically acquired mutations can also lead to activation of NF-κB. NF-κB transcriptional programs induce a wide variety of genes (http://www.nf-kb.org). These transcriptional programs have far-reaching biological consequences and include survival factors, growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, numerous core mediators of adaptive and innate immunity, as well as micro-RNAs.
