The transcription factor NF-κB promotes survival of cancer cells exposed to doxorubicin and other chemotherapeutic agents. IκB kinase is essential for chemotherapy-induced NF-κB activation and considered a prime target for anticancer treatment. An IκB kinase inhibitor sensitized human melanoma xenografts in mice to killing by doxorubicin, yet also exacerbated treatment toxicity in the host animals. Using mouse models that simulate cell-selective targeting, we found that impaired NF-κB activation in melanoma and host myeloid cells accounts for the therapeutic and the adverse effects, respectively. Ablation of tumor-intrinsic NF-κB activity resulted in apoptosis-driven tumor regression following doxorubicin treatment. By contrast, chemotherapy in mice with myeloid-specific loss of NF-κB activation led to a massive intratumoral recruitment of interleukin-1β-producing neutrophils and necrotic tumor lesions, a condition associated with increased host mortality but not accompanied by tumor regression. Therefore, a molecular target-based therapy may be steered toward different clinical outcomes depending on the drug’s cell-specific effects.
