As a consequence, PELI1 inhibited the noncanonical NF‐κB–induced expression of the anti‐apoptotic gene BCL2 like 1 (Bclxl; also known as BCL2L1), leading to an enhancement of the IR‐induced apoptosis signaling pathway and ultimately promoting IR‐induced apoptosis in tumor cells. Here, BCL2L1 is linked to neoplasm.
