Research Abstract

A role for chronic inflammation in tumorigenesis is now generally accepted, and nuclear factorκ-B(NF-κB) has been implicated in the cause or exacerbation of inflammation-induced cancers. The present study demonstrates that the interferon regulatory factor(IRF) transcription factor family, which can be activated simultaneously with NF-κB by innate immune stimuli, possesses tumor-suppressing abilities in inflammation-induced cancers.
