BAX and neoplasm: The effects of LP-CC6, LP-CC24 and CisPt on tumour cells were investigated by real-time PCR (qPCR) by evaluating the expression of the TP53 gene that encodes a tumour suppressor protein, the pro-apoptotic BAX gene and the BCL2 gene, which encodes an integral outer mitochondrial membrane protein that blocks the apoptotic death of some cells, such as lymphocytes.
