Deregulations promoting constitutive activation of canonical and non-canonical NF-κB signaling are a common feature of many lymphoid malignancies. Due to their cellular origin and the pivotal role of NF-κB for the normal function of B lymphocytes, B-cell malignancies are particularly prone to genetic aberrations that affect the pathway. Key positive regulators of NF-κB signaling can act as oncogenes that are often prone to chromosomal translocation, amplifications or activating mutations. Negative regulators of NF-κB have tumor suppressor functions and are frequently inactivated either by genomic deletions or point mutations. Whereas some aberrations are found in a variety of different lymphoid malignancies, some oncogenic alterations are very restricted to distinct lymphoma subsets, reflecting the clonal and cellular origin of specific lymphoma entities. NF-κB activation in many lymphoma cells is also driven by the microenvironment or chronic signaling that does not rely on genetic alterations. A number of drugs that target the NF-κB pathway are in preclinical or clinical development, revealing that there will be new options for therapies in the future. Since each lymphoma entity utilizes distinct mechanisms to activate NF-κB, a major challenge is to elucidate the exact pathological processes in order to faithfully predict clinical responses to the different therapeutic approaches.
