Journal ArticleDOI

The landscape of somatic copy-number alteration across human cancers

Rameen Beroukhim, +86 more
- 18 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cancer cells containing amplifications surrounding the MCL1 and BCL2L1 anti-apoptotic genes depend on the expression of these genes for survival, and a large majority of SCNAs identified in individual cancer types are present in several cancer types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct BH3 domains either sensitize or activate mitochondrial apoptosis, serving as prototype cancer therapeutics.

TL;DR: A two-class model for BH3 domains is supported: BID-like domains that "activate" BAX, BAK and BAD-like domain that "sensitize" by occupying the pocket of antiapoptotic members.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondria primed by death signals determine cellular addiction to antiapoptotic BCL-2 family members.

TL;DR: The data allow us to distinguish a cellular state the authors call "primed for death," which can be determined by BH3 profiling and which correlates with dependence on antiapoptotic family members for survival.
