- Targeting NF-κB signaling pathway in cancer by dietary polyphenolsPublication . Khan, Haroon; Ullah, Hammad; Castilho, Paula Cristina Machado Ferreira; Gomila, Antoni Sureda; D'Onofrio, Grazia; Filosa, Rosanna; Wang, Fang; Nabavi, Seyed Mohammad; Daglia, Maria; Silva, Ana Sanches; Rengasamy, Kannan R. R.; Ou, Juanying; Zou, Xiaobo; Xiao, Jianbo; Cao, HuiBeing a transcription factor, NF-κB regulates gene expressions involving cell survival and proliferation, drug resistance, metastasis, and angiogenesis. The activation of NF-κB plays a central role in the development of inflammation and cancer. Thus, the down-regulation of NF-κB may be an exciting target in prevention and treatment of cancer. NF-κB could act as a tumor activator or tumor suppressant decided by the site of action (organ). Polyphenols are widely distributed in plant species, consumption of which have been documented to negatively regulate the NF-κB signaling pathway. They depress the phosphorylation of kinases, inhibit NF-κB translocate into the nucleus as well as interfere interactions between NF-κB and DNA. Through inhibition of NF-κB, polyphenols downregulate inflammatory cascade, induce apoptosis and decrease cell proliferation and metastasis. This review highlights the anticancer effects of polyphenols on the basis of NF-κB signaling pathway regulation.
