Abstract:
The nuclear factor (NF)-κB essential modulator (NEMO) is a key regulator in NF-κB-mediated signaling. By transmitting extracellular or intracellular signals, NEMO can control NF-κB-regulated genes. NEMO dysfunction is associated with inherited diseases such as incontinentia pigmenti (IP), ectodermal dysplasia, anhidrotic, with immunodeficiency (EDA-ID), and some cancers. We focus on molecular studies, human case reports, and mouse models emphasizing the significance of NEMO molecular interactions and modifications in health and diseases. This knowledge opens new opportunities to engineer suitable drugs that may putatively target precise NEMO functions attributable to various diseases, while leaving other functions intact, and eliminating cytotoxicity. Indeed, with the advent of novel gene editing tools such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein (Cas)9, treating some inherited diseases may in the long run, become a reality.
