Abstract

The B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) family of proteins are essential components in the intrinsic apoptosis pathway. While a primary mechanism for the removal of damaged or unwanted cells, dysregulation of this pathway is observed in many human cancers. Specifically, BCL-2 overexpression has been associated with pro-survival of multiple hematological and solid tumor malignancies. In the clinic, BCL-2 inhibitors have demonstrated impressive efficacy in hematological diseases, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
