In addition to marshalling immune and inflammatory responses, transcription factors of the NF-B family control cell survival. This control is crucial to a wide range of biological processes, including B and T lymphopoiesis, adaptive immunity, oncogenesis and cancer chemoresistance. During an inflammatory response, NF-B activation antagonizes apoptosis induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-, a protective activity that involves suppression of the Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) cascade. This suppression can involve upregulation of the Gadd45-family member Gadd45ß/Myd118, which associates with the JNK kinase MKK7/JNKK2 and blocks its catalytic activity. Upregulation of XIAP, A20 and blockers of reactive oxygen species (ROS) appear to be important additional means by which NF-B blunts JNK signaling. These recent findings might open up entirely new avenues for therapeutic intervention in chronic inflammatory diseases and certain cancers; indeed, the Gadd45ß-MKK7 interaction might be a key target for such intervention.

Key words: NF-B, JNK, Gadd45ß, TNF-, Apoptosis
