Bcl-2 is a critical mediator of intestinal transformation

The anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 is selectively expressed in intestinal stem cells (ISCs). Here, the authors show that, in intestinal stem cells, Bcl-2 alleviates apoptotic priming induced by the loss of the tumour suppressor Apc in ISCs and that the absence of Bcl-2 or pharmacological blockade of B...

Sumario:The anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 is selectively expressed in intestinal stem cells (ISCs). Here, the authors show that, in intestinal stem cells, Bcl-2 alleviates apoptotic priming induced by the loss of the tumour suppressor Apc in ISCs and that the absence of Bcl-2 or pharmacological blockade of Bcl-2 can inhibit the intestinal tumorigenesis driven by the Apc-loss.
