Bcl-2—Enhanced Efficacy of Microtubule-Targeting Chemotherapy through Bim Overexpression: Implications for Cancer Treatment

Bcl-2 is commonly overexpressed in tumors, where it is often associated with unfavorable outcome. However, it has also been linked to a favorable sensitivity to microtubule-targeting agents (MTAs). We show that Bcl-2– overexpressing lung and breast cancer cells were more sensitive to both paclitaxel...
