Hence, genes such as BAX, the BCL2-associated X gene; BCL2L1, the BCL2-like 1 gene (Bcl-xL); CASP8, the caspase-8 gene; CASP9, the caspase-9 gene; RELA, the RELA proto-oncogene (NF-kB subunit); and NFKBIA, the NFKB inhibitor alpha gene (IkBα) were extracted from the Tumor Immune Estimation Resource database v 2.0 (TIMER2.0, http://timer.cistrome.org, accessed on 14 September 2023) [59]. Here, CASP8 is linked to neoplasm.
