FOXO3a Protects Glioma Cells against Temozolomide-Induced DNA Double Strand Breaks via Promotion of BNIP3-Mediated Mitophagy

Scientists investigated the role of forkhead box transcription factor 3a (FOXO3a) in regulating the sensitivity of glioma cells to temozolomide and its relationship with Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa-interacting protein 3 (BNIP3)-mediated mitophagy.

Combining Radiation to EGFR and Bcl-2 Blockade: A New Approach to Target Cancer Stem Cells in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

CSCs had low EGFR expression and, conversely, overexpressed the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein, which is involved in resistance to apoptosis and the invasion/migration capacities of tumor cells.

Breast Cancer Dependence on MCL-1 Is Due to Its Canonical Anti-apoptotic Function

Scientists investigated the role of MCL-1 in clinically relevant breast cancer models and address whether the canonical role of MCL-1 in apoptosis, which can be targeted using BH3-mimetic drugs, is the major function for MCL-1 in breast cancer.
