The following genes have been targeted using this combinatorial therapy: (1) genes which play a role in cancer drug resistance (e.g., a gene encoding P-gp) (2) genes responsible for survival of tumors (e.g., gene encoding Bcl-2) (3) genes expressed selectively in cancerous tissues (e.g., gene encoding VEGF) (Xiao et al., 2017). This evidence concerns the gene BCL2 and cancer.
