In this report, we investigated the effects of the natural product parthenolide on human B-lymphoma cell lines. We show that parthenolide inhibited NF-κB transcription factor c-Rel (REL). In addition, the sensitivity of several human B-lymphoma cell lines to parthenolide-induced apoptosis inversely correlated with their levels of anti-apoptosis protein Bcl-X(L). Furthermore, ectopic expression of Bcl-X(L) (but not Bcl-2) in two B-lymphoma cell lines decreased their sensitivity to parthenolide-in ...[more]
