It also exerts anti-tumor activities through the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, Bcl-2 down-regulation, Bax up-regulation, and caspase-3 activation in human gastric cancer SGC-7901 and HGC-27, esophageal cancer Eca109 and Ec9706 cells, and breast cancer MCF-7 xenograft mice [673, 681, 683]. Here, BCL2 is linked to gastric cancer.
