title = "Frequent Engagement of the Classical and Alternative NF-κB Pathways by Diverse Genetic Abnormalities in Multiple Myeloma",
abstract = "Mechanisms of constitutive NF-κB signaling in multiple myeloma are unknown. An inhibitor of IκB kinase β (IKKβ) targeting the classical NF-κB pathway was lethal to many myeloma cell lines. Several cell lines had elevated expression of NIK due to genomic alterations or protein stabilization, while others had inactivating mutations of TRAF3; both kinds of abnormality triggered the classical and alternative NF-κB pathways. A majority of primary myeloma patient samples and cell lines had elevated NF-κB target gene expression, often associated with genetic or epigenetic alteration of NIK, TRAF3, CYLD, BIRC2/BIRC3, CD40, NFKB1, or NFKB2. These data demonstrate that addiction to the NF-κB pathway is frequent in myeloma and suggest that IKKβ inhibitors hold promise for the treatment of this disease.",
