Dual Akt and Bcl-2 Inhibition Induces Cell-Type Specific Modulation of Apoptotic and Autophagic Signaling in Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer Cell Lines

The authors elucidated the modulation patterns between apoptosis and autophagy following dual inhibition by Akt inhibitor erufosine and Bcl-2 inhibitor ABT-737 in castration-resistant prostate cancer cell lines, PC-3 (Bax+) and DU-145 (Bax−).
