"This conclusion was supported by the following observations : cisplatin induced IkappaBalpha degradation and NF-kappaB-dependent transcriptional activation prior to cell death; pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), a chemical inhibitor of NF-kappaB activation, prevented apoptosis; lactacystin, an inhibitor of IkappaBalpha degradation, also prevented apoptosis; and finally, the expression of a super repressor mutant IkappaBalpha blocked apoptosis."

"Liu et al. [ xref ] showed that fucoxanthin pretreatment attenuated the cisplatin-induced DNA-binding activity of NF-κB, restored cisplatin-inhibited IκB-α - phosphorylation, and increased the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 mRNA expression rendering cancer cells sensitive to apoptosis induced by cisplatin, which suggested that fucoxanthin may be an NF-κB inhibitor."
