“…In addition to their anticancer properties, they modulate inflammatory and immune responses by affecting antigen processing, apoptosis, cell cycle, co-stimulation, adhesion and chemotaxis [21,22]. Specifically bortezomib, a boronic acid dipeptide with selective activity as a proteasome inhibitor, has been shown to inhibit NF-kB activity in malignant cells [20,23]. Inhibitors of the proteasome decrease NF-kB activation and have anti-inflammatory activity in vivo [24,25].…”
