Specifically, 7‐Epitaxol increased Fas, TNF‐R1, DR5, DcR3 and DcR2 expressions, reduced Bcl‐2 and Bcl‐XL (anti‐apoptotic proteins) expressions, and increased Bid and Bim L/S (pre‐apoptotic proteins) expressions, leading to activation of caspase‐mediated cancer cell apoptosis. This evidence concerns the gene FAS and cancer.
