Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is activated in response to various stimuli including ionizing radiation. Disruption of NF-kappaB activation by mutant forms of the NF-kappaB inhibitor IkappaB-alpha or by proteasome inhibitors enhances both sensitivity to radiation and radiation-induced apoptosis. Human squamous carcinoma SCC-35 cells stably expressing a fragment (residues 1 to 84) of...
