Role of Bcl-3 in solid tumors

Mol Cancer. 2011 Dec 23:10:152. doi: 10.1186/1476-4598-10-152.

Abstract

Bcl-3 is an established oncogene in hematologic malignancies, such as B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemias. Nevertheless, recent research has shown that it also participates in progression of diverse solid tumors. The present review summarizes the current knowledge of Bcl3 role in solid tumors progression, including some new insights in its possible molecular mechanisms of action.
