BCL2 and cancer: As observed in the study, 7‐Epitaxol increases the expressions of pro‐apoptotic proteins Bid and Bim L/S and reduces the expressions of anti‐apoptotic proteins Bcl‐2 and Bcl‐XL, leading to activation of PARP and caspases 3, 8 and 9 and subsequent induction of cancer cell apoptosis.
