摘要: Background BCL-xL is an anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family protein that inhibits apoptosis and overexpressed in many cancers. We have reported acquired resistance to the inhibitor ABT-199 (venetoclax) associated with increased BCL-xL expression. Yet, how mediates chemoresistance hematopoietic malignancies not clear. This finding may help design of new strategies for therapeutic intervention overcome mediated by BCL-xL.
