Figure 1 AML Combinatorial Therapy Using BAX Activators and BH3 Mimetics Overexpression of pro-survival BCL-2 proteins in cancers inhibits apoptosis by suppressing pro-apoptotic BAX/BAK. BH3 mimetics like venetoclax and navitoclax release BAX/BAK by neutralizing pro-survival BCL-2 members and sensitize cells to apoptosis. Direct BAX activators like BTSA1 can directly activate BAX and induce cell death synergistically with BH3 mimetics like venetoclax.
