The activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) has been implicated in the development, progression and metastasis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This study investigates the effect of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), a NF-kappaB inhibitor, on two metastatic human RCC cell lines, ACHN and SN12K1.
