BCL2L1 and lung carcinoma: In the xenografts formed from cells with PPDPF knockdown, the IHC results showed that the expression of BABAM2 and Bcl-xl was downregulated and that cleaved Caspase3 was upregulated (Figure 7D-E), further demonstrating that downregulation of PPDPF inhibited the tumorigenesis of lung cancer cells in vivo.
