In addition, an increase in the level of BAX/BCL2 expression ratio and a lesser increase in the level of ABCG2 expression have been demonstrated, which may indicate that SN38-PEG-PLGA-Ver nanoparticles can serve as candidates to delay SN38 resistance and improve the induction of apoptosis and a new method to treat colon cancer. The gene discussed is BAX; the disease is malignant colon neoplasm.
