Mechanisms of how proteasome inhibition inhibits cancer cell survival. a Generation of misfolded proteins due to elevated protein synthesis in cancer cells requires the UPS for detoxification. Proteasome inhibition leads to accumulation of misfolded proteins, causing proteotoxic and oxidative stress. b Proteasome inhibition leads to abrogation of NFκB pro-survival signaling
