1 The mitochondria-independent cytotoxic effect of nelfinavir on leukemia cells can be enhanced by sorafenib-mediated mcl-1 downregulation and mitochondrial membrane destabilization. Nelfinavir MCL1 apoptosis regulator, BCL2 family member Homo sapiens
2 Despite caspase activation, the upregulation of the anti-apoptotic bcl-2 family member protein mcl-1 that resulted from nelfinavir treatment stabilized the mitochondrial membrane potential, resulting in primarily mitochondria-independent cell death. Nelfinavir MCL1 apoptosis regulator, BCL2 family member Homo sapiens
3 Pharmacological downregulation of mcl-1 expression by treatment with sorafenib (2 microg/ml) significantly enhanced nelfinavir-induced apoptosis even at lower nelfinavir concentrations (5 microg/ml), but did not have additional detrimental effects on non-malignant bone marrow cells. Nelfinavir MCL1 apoptosis regulator, BCL2 family member Homo sapiens
4 Pharmacological downregulation of mcl-1 expression by treatment with sorafenib (2 microg/ml) significantly enhanced nelfinavir-induced apoptosis even at lower nelfinavir concentrations (5 microg/ml), but did not have additional detrimental effects on non-malignant bone marrow cells. Nelfinavir MCL1 apoptosis regulator, BCL2 family member Homo sapiens
