These results indicate that the peptides induced VDAC1 oligomerization, Cyto c release, and subsequently apoptosis, as shown previously for other versions of VDAC1‐based peptides in studies of CLL and GBM (Prezma et al., 2013; Shteinfer‐Kuzmine et al., 2017). This evidence concerns the gene VDAC1 and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
