title: [Role of NF-kappaB in hematopoietic malignancies - review].
abstract: NF-kappaB is a kind of important nuclear factors which are relative to lots of cellular activities such as activation of immunocyte, development of T and B lymphocyte, stress reaction, cell apoptosis and so on. NF-kappaB exists in almost all types of cytoplasm in the unreactive form of heterodimer or homodimer. Recent studies have shown that there is close relationship between NF-kappaB and pathogenesis of hematopoietic malignancies such as leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma. In this review, the advances of studies on the role of NF-kappaB in hematopoietic malignancies were summarized, including subunits of NF-kappaB and its activity, activity of NF-kappaB and its effect on apoptosis, activity of NF-kappaB in AML cells and its mechanism, activity of NF-kappaB in ATL cells and its mechanism, activity of NF-kappaB in lymphoma and its mechanism, activity of NF-kappaB in multiple myeloma cells and its mechanism, application of NF-kappaB suppression in hematopoietic malignancies and so on.
