Nevertheless, it could not be discounted that in some cancer cell lines a response suggestive of an apoptotic phenomenon was undeniably expressed such as the significant induction of BAX (p < 0.001) and BAD (p < 0.003) in AGS as well as the considerable down-expression of BCL2L1 in MKN-45 (p < 0.050), and BCL2 in NUGC4 (p < 0.001). This evidence concerns the gene BAX and cancer.
