Moreover, cancer cells can limit or bypass apoptosis via many pathways such as altering the function of p53 tumor suppressor gene, increasing the expression of antiapoptotic regulators (Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL), promoting survival signals (Igf1/2), reducing the levels of proapoptotic factors (Bax, Bim, Puma), and suppressing the signals of the extrinsic ligand-induced death pathway [17]. Here, BCL2 is linked to cancer.
