FOXP1 overexpression in DLBCL cells and human primary B cells inhibit pro-apoptotic genes including BIK (BCL2 interacting killer) (HGNC:1051), EAF2 (ELL (eleven-nineteen lysine-rich leukemia gene) -associated factor 2) (HGNC:23115), and HRK (Harakiri) (HGNC:5185), and cooperates with NF-κB to promote B cell survival (62). This evidence concerns the gene HRK and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
