In neuroblastoma cells, FOXO3 regulates cellular apoptosis by activating the two BH3-only proteins PMAIP1/Noxa and BCL2L11/Bim[5] and sensitizes these tumor cells to chemotherapy-induced cell death by repressing the IAP-family member BIRC5/Survivin[10]. The gene discussed is BIRC5; the disease is neuroblastoma.
