In addition, a recent study showed that two HDACi, kendine 92 and SAHA, induced apoptosis in CLL cells by increasing BAD, BNIP3, BNIP3L, BIM, PUMA, and AIF mRNA expression levels and decreasing expression of BCL-W, BCL-2, BFL-1, XIAP, and FLIP. Thus, this study indicates global changes in the apoptosis mRNA expression profile, consistent with the apoptotic outcome [37]. Here, BNIP3L is linked to B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
