The Non-Canonical IκB Kinases IKKε and TBK1 as Potential Targets for the Development of Novel Therapeutic Drugs
IκB kinase epsilon (IKKε) and TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) are two non-canonical IKKs which are involved in interferon regulatory factor (IRF) as well as nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) signaling cascades. Both kinases have already been linked to the pathophysiology of
several diseases and therefore been suggested as potential promising targets for the development of therapeutic drugs. In this review, we summarize the roles of IKKε and TBK1 in different diseases and outline therapeutic options for modulation of these kinases.
Keywords: Cancer; IKKε; NF-κB; TBK1; inflammation; interferon regulatory factor

- Current Molecular Medicine is an interdisciplinary journal focused on providing the readership with current and comprehensive reviews on fundamental molecular mechanisms of disease pathogenesis, the development of molecular-diagnosis and/or novel approaches to rational treatment. The reviews should be of significant interest to basic researchers and clinical investigators in molecular medicine. Periodically the journal will invite guest editors to devote an issue on a basic research area that shows promise to advance our understanding of the molecular mechanism(s) of a disease or has potential for clinical applications.
