The BCL-2 inhibitor ABT-199/venetoclax synergizes with proteasome inhibition via transactivation of the MCL-1 antagonist NOXA

Abstract Enhanced expression of anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) protein is frequent in cancer. Targeting of BCL-2 with the specific inhibitor ABT-199 (Venetoclax) has significant clinical activity in malignant diseases such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia and multiple myeloma. The small mol...
