Several lines of evidence indicate that NF-κB is constitutively activated in cancer cells, suggesting that it plays an important role in tumorigenesis [ 30 ] . Activated glucocorticoid receptors have been shown to repress NF-κB-mediated gene expression [ 31 ] , and to cause a significant reduction in nuclear levels of p65 protein, a subunit of NF-κB [ 31 ] . A variety of mitogens, cytokines, and reactive oxygen intermediates have been shown to rapidly cause the translocation of NF-κB to the nucleus [ 30 31 32 ] , and the ability of dexamethasone to interfere with this translocation is blocked by prior treatment with the glucocorticoid antagonist RU 486 [ 30 ] . Based on these findings, it is plausible to speculate that exposure to RU 486 may interfere with the function of endogenous glucocorticoids as regulators of cell cycle, allowing the initiation and progression of malignant transformation of liver cells.
Although numerous studies have shown that high concentrations of exogenous sugars repress the ability of germinating cereal seeds to mobilize the starch they use as energy reserves [ 13 23 ] , little work of a similar nature had previously been conducted on oilseed plants, such as Arabidopsis.

"Be true to yourself" has been reinterpreted to mean either "Getting what you want" or, more aggressively, "Express yourself (don't repress yourself)."
Besides inhibiting proteasome activity, the peptide aldehyde proteasome inhibitors have been also reported to repress certain lysosomal cysteine proteases and calpains [ 49 ] . The finding that MG-132 can obstruct the casein degrading activity of the calcium-dependent protease calpain [ 50 ] appears relevant to oocyte maturation.
