The NFkappaB signalling pathway plays an important role in chemoresistance and decreased apoptosis. One indirect way to inhibit the NFkappaB pathway is to slow down the proteasomal degradation of its inhibitor IkappaB, thus preventing NFkappaB from translocation into the nucleus. Hence, the effect of the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (Velcade) on the cell proliferation of the MV3, FemX-1 and G361 human melanoma cell lines and its action in combination with the PPAR-gamma agonist rosiglitazone or the mistletoe lectin ML-I, both having anti-proliferative effects on melanoma cells in single agent use, was investigated.
