At SC2, we also observed upregulation of genes induced by Wnt5a-induced ROR1 signaling, including BCL2L1. Transduction of the CLL-cell-line MEC1 to express ROR1 enhanced expression of target genes induced by ROR1-signaling, increased expression of BCL-XL, and enhanced resistance to venetoclax, even in MEC1 made to express mutant forms of BCL2, which are associated with venetoclax resistance. This evidence concerns the gene ROR1 and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
