Western blotting showed that compared to that of cells treated with Notch2 overexpression or radiotherapy alone, the levels of γH2AX, Bax, Bcl-2, Cyclin D1 and AKT/mTOR signaling pathway-related proteins were modified in NPC cells overexpressing Notch2 and treated with radiotherapy. This evidence concerns the gene NOTCH2 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
