Notch and NF-kB: Coach and Players of Regulatory T-Cell Resposnse in Cancer

The Notch signaling pathway plays multiple roles in driving T-cell fate decisions,
proliferation, and aberrant growth. NF-kB is a cell-context key player interconnected
with Notch signaling either in physiological or in pathological conditions. This review
focuses on how themultilayered crosstalk between different Notches and NF-kB subunits
may converge on Foxp3 gene regulation and orchestrate CD4+ regulatory T (Treg)
cell function, particularly in a tumor microenvironment. Notably, Treg cells may play a
