## Abstract Development of chemoresistance in androgen‐refractory prostate cancer cells is partly due to constitutive activation of Rel/NF‐κB transcription factors that regulate several cell survival and anti‐apoptotic genes. In this study we examined whether betulinic acid (BetA), a pentacyclic tr
Silibinin inhibits constitutive and TNFα-induced activation of NF-κB and sensitizes human prostate carcinoma DU145 cells to TNFα-induced apoptosis

## Abstract The pleiotropic cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF‐α) can induce apoptosis but also supports cell survival pathways. Among the possible anti‐apoptotic mechanisms of TNF‐α is the activation of the transcription factor NF‐κB. Since reactive oxygen species (ROS) are assumed to contr
In response to a diverse array of signals, IkappaBalpha is targeted for phosphorylation-dependent degradation by the proteasome, thereby activating NF-kappaB. Here we demonstrate a role of the cleavage product of IkappaBalpha in various death signals. During apoptosis of NIH3T3, Jurkat, Rat-1, and L
