Bcl-2: A Prime Regulator of Mitochondrial Redox Metabolism in Cancer Cells
16 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
SIGNIFICANCE: Mitochondria play a critical role as death amplifiers during drug-induced apoptosis in cancer cells by providing pro-apoptotic factors that are released from the mitochondrial inter-membranous space upon the induction of mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization. This intrinsic death signaling pathway is the preferred mechanism employed by most anticancer compounds, and as such, resistance to...
