The IKKε kinase, an atypical member of the IKK family of kinases, was recently identified as an oncogene overexpressed in over 30% of breast cancers. Besides its role in the regulation of the NF-κB transcription factor, which is well recognized for its implication in the development of breast cancers, IKKε was shown to phosphorylate numerous targets. Analysis of the phosphorylation of some of these substrates in the context of breast cancer highlighted new oncogenic signaling pathways that constitute potential targets for new therapies. Interestingly, IKKε is involved in the development of resistance to Tamoxifène. Thus, IKKε is a promising therapeutic target for newly developed breast cancer treatment.
