In addition, Apoptosis and other nodes correlating with apoptotic cell death, such as BAX, TBID, CERAMIDE, CYTC, CASP3, CASP8, CASP9, MOMP and PP2A, were all stabilised in the OFF state, indicating the entire apoptosis pathway was blocked by the pro-tumor inflammatory microenvironment. The gene discussed is CASP8; the disease is neoplasm.
