The present invention relates to a use of ZFP91 based on the functions of ZFP91 (Zinc Finger Protein 91) and the interaction of ZFP91 with NF-κB (Nuclear factor kappa B) signal transduction pathway proteins, more precisely a method to inhibit the activation of NF-κB alternative pathway by regulating ZFP91 activation, to inhibit tumor growth by inhibiting the transcription factor HIF-1 (hypoxia inducible factor-1) activation, to inhibit cancer malignancy by inhibiting angiogenesis, or reversely a method to increase the activation of NF-κB alternative pathway or to increase angiogenesis by increasing activation of HIF-1. The method of regulating ZFP91 activation of the present invention can increase or reduce HIF-1α stability by increasing or reducing the activation of NF-κB alternative pathway, so that it can be effectively used for the development of an anticancer agent, a therapeutic agent for arthritis, a therapeutic agent for ulcerative colitis, an anti-inflammatory agent and an angiogenesis inducer. |
