“…It was also reported that cell cycle inhibitors involved in the pathogenesis of cancer were targeted by Crm1; tumor suppressor proteins, including BRAC1, the FOXOs, Rb, APC, RASSF2, Merlin, nucleophosmin, survivin, STAT, a κB-α inhibitor (IκB-α), and transcription factors NFY/ CBP, Sp1, and p53, are all affected by Crm1 overexpression and contribute to cellular transformations together with Crm1. Crm1 deregulation has been demonstrated mainly in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (van der Watt et al, 2009), though also in many other cancer types, such as esophageal cancer (van der Watt et al, 2014;Yang et al, 2014), multiple myeloma (Tai et al, 2014), and renal cancer (Liu et al, 2016), and it has been shown that Crm1 inhibition has the potential to target continuously proliferating cancer cells (Kau et al, 2004). Crm1-targeting agents containing inhibitors, such as LMB (Newlands et al, 1996;Wolff et al, 1997;Kudo et al, 1999), N-azolylacrylate analogs (Daelemans et al, 2002), Valeriana fauriei and Alpinia galanga l (Tamura et al, 2009), the FOXO family (Kau et al, 2003), and the novel SINE (Sakakibara et al, 2011), are highly potent candidate molecules that could be used to develop anticancer therapies when the role of Crm1 is confirmed.…”
