Abstract: As a key regulatory factor in cell, activated NF-κB induces the transcription of target genes involved in many cell activities, especially the inflammation, immunity and apoptosis. Previous studies proved that NF-κB plays various roles in different type of apoptosis. Moreover, expression and function of NF-κB could be systematically or specifically regulated by microRNA of non-encoding RNAS. The mediating effects of NF-κB on apoptosis were summarized, and the role of microRNA in the mediating process were further discussed .

Key words: NF-κB, microRNA, Apoptosis
