Expression data from U-87 human glioma cells with proficient and deficient NF-кB after treatment with temozolomide

ABSTRACT: The transcription factor, NF-кB, plays a central role in the response to DNA damage. This ubiquitous family of proteins is made up of five subunits: p50 (NF-κB1, p105), p52 (NF-κB2, p100), p65 (relA), relB, and crel that appear in their mature form as dimers. Following stimulation, NF-κB dimers translocate to the nucleus where they bind specific consensus elements (κB-sites) in the promoter region of genes involved in cell survival, inflammation and the immune system. While there is a general propensity of NF-кB to mediate survival, this is not always the case and several reports note the pro-apoptotic nature of the NF-кB pathway. In examining the NF-кB response to DNA damage, we have found that the p50 subunit plays a central role in modulating cytotoxicity following TMZ treatment in mali
