Noxa and Mcl-1 expression influence the sensitivity to BH3-mimetics that target Bcl-xL in patient-derived glioma stem cells

Abstract: The recurrence of Glioblastoma is partly attributed to the highly resistant subpopulation of glioma stem cells. A novel therapeutic approach focuses on restoring apoptotic programs in these cancer stem cells, as they are often deregulated. BH3-mimetics, targeting anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members, are emerging as promising compounds to sensitize cancer cells to antineoplastic treatments. Herein, we determined that the most abundantly expressed anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members, Bcl-xL and Mcl-1, are the mo… Show more

“…Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) promote caspase-dependent apoptosis by diverse mechanisms [59][60][61]. As with prior work, our study of MEKi combined with HDACi highlighted the reliance of GBM cells on BCL2 proteins [62][63][64][65][66][67]. One of the most striking results in our study was the marked increase in cell death in the presence of HDACi plus an MCL1 inhibitor.…”
