## Background: Bcl-2 protein encoded by the proto-oncogene bcl-2 confers to the cell a survival advantage by inhibiting apoptosis. its aberrant expression has been reported in lymphomas and lung carcinoma. to determine if bcl-2 plays a role in the gastric carcinogenic sequence, the authors studied

Background and Objectives: Epidemiological studies have suggested that the regular use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, which inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX), reduces the risk of colon cancer. The inducible COX-2 isoform has been reported to be upregulated in colorectal carcinomas and may play a
Using western blotting and immunochemical analysis, we investigated alterations in the expression of the apoptosis-related proteins bcl-2, bax, and bcl-X in colonic adenocarcinomas induced by subcutaneous injection of azoxymethane (AOM) (15 mg/kg body weight weekly for 2 wk) into male Sprague-Dawley
## Background: The expression of bcl-2 protein has been related to histopathological features and prognosis in several epithelial tumors. in prostatic adenocarcinoma the prognostic significance of bcl-2 expression is mainly unexplored. ## Methods: The expression of bcl-2 protein was assessed in 2
Bcl-2 is a proto-oncogene which is involved in prolonging cell survival by inhibiting programmed cell death. Bax and bcl-x are members of the bcl-2 family; when overexpressed, they can counteract the ability of bcl-2 to inhibit apoptosis. This suggests a model in which the ratios of bcl-2 to bax and
