More importantly, the marked tumor suppression induced by DT2216 was associated with a more than 95% reduction in Bcl-xL levels, substantial decreases in Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 levels, and significant activation of caspase-3 and cleavage of PARP in the tumors collected from the mice (Fig. 2h–m). Here, BCL2 is linked to neoplasm.
