The Role of Adaptor Protein CARD9 in Colitis-Associated Cancer

The adaptor protein CARD9 plays an important role in anti-fungal immunity responses, linking detection of fungi by surface receptors to activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor κB (NF-κB). Recent studies indicate that CARD9 also plays different but vital roles during the development of...

Sumario:The adaptor protein CARD9 plays an important role in anti-fungal immunity responses, linking detection of fungi by surface receptors to activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor κB (NF-κB). Recent studies indicate that CARD9 also plays different but vital roles during the development of colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC). This review summarizes the current understanding of CARD9 functions in CAC, and we discuss its potentially carcinogenic mechanisms.
