Life must continually defend against infection. One of the most ancient types of immunity is the process of active cell death, which first arose in evolution plausibly with protists, as a primordial defence against intracellular parasites. Owing to this common ancestral origin, there is remarkable symmetry and overlap in proteins, signalling complexes and domains between the pathways of apoptosis and those of inflammation. The clearest paradigms of this interconnection and overlap are caspase-family proteases, which can signal to cell death or the activation of proinflammatory cytokines, and NF-κB-family transcription factors, the ubiquitous rapid-response system centrally involved in the regulation of apoptosis and immune and inflammatory responses, in both vertebrates and invertebrates [1]. Given their central role in disease pathogenesis, the mechanisms underpinning these pathways are of paramount clinical significance. Notably, in many cancer types, the normally tight regulation of apoptosis and inflammation is frequently disrupted by an aberrant NF-κB activation [2]. While multiple control mechanisms normally ensure the prompt cessation of physiological NF-κB signalling, in most human cancers, numerous alterations constitutively activate NF-κB, enabling it to fuel tumour progression, metastatic dissemination and therapy resistance by regulating genes that suppress cancer-cell apoptosis and orchestrate inflammation in the tumour microenvironment (TME), thus hijacking the ancient connection between apoptotic and inflammatory pathways [2, 3]. Despite intense investigation, the mechanisms by which NF-κB mediates these functions in oncogenesis remain incompletely understood. Recently, we furthered their understanding in multiple myeloma, a cancer where plasma cells become addicted to NF-κB activation for survival. We showed that oncogenic NF-κB signalling mediates this effect by upregulating its pro-survival target gene, GADD45B, a member of the GADD45-gene family. Consequently, GADD45β is highly expressed in most multiple myelomas, where it suppresses apoptosis ensuing from spontaneous JNK/MAPK-pathway activation by inhibiting the JNK kinase, MKK7 [4].In addition to blocking cancer-cell apoptosis, oncogenic NF-κB signalling operates in the TME, thereby linking cancer to inflammation [3]. NF-κB activation in nonmalignant tumour-associated cells, especially those of the myeloid lineage, has been shown to enhance the production of cytokines and other specialised effectors that promote tumour-cell proliferation, tissue invasion and therapy resistance, while suppressing anti-tumour immune responses [5]. However, the notion that NF-κB would mediate its oncogenic functions in malignant cells and the TME via entirely different gene sets, which either suppress apoptosis or govern inflammation, is at odds with the overall architectural conservation and co-evolution of these processes. Recently, we demonstrated that this is indeed not the case [6]. We identified a dedicated axis of the NF-κB pathway, mediated by GADD45β, which integrates the NF-κB-dependent mechanism suppressing tumour-cell apopto-
