Distinguishing friend from foe in the battle against cancer

or problem of chemotherapy is that sooner or later cancer cells develop resistance, which requires higher and higher doses of chemotherapeutics," observes Verma, who is also an American Cancer Society professor in Salk's Laboratory of Genetics. "Rapamycin-mediated killing of cancer cells could be increased by inhibiting the function of NF-kB proteins. Our studies provide the basis for arriving at this very important conclusion, which has enormous bearing on cancer treatment."

Tergaonkar concurs. "Our studies suggest the potential use of NF-kB signaling inhibitors as adjuvants to maximize the effect of rapamycin-based therapeutics. These findings will have a significant impact on human health."
