AKT1 and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia: Although the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt, NF-kappa B inactivation, XIAP down regulation, and PTEN up regulation signals were reported to involve in ATO-induced apoptosis, ATO-induced JNK activation was crucial and required for subsequent apoptotic events, as inhibition of JNK activity prevented Akt and NF-kappa B inactivation, caspase activation, and mitochondrial damage in B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia cell [18].
