The Impact of Chlorambucil and Valproic Acid on Cell Viability, Apoptosis and Expression of p21, HDM2, BCL2 and MCL1 Genes in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

• Billy Bennett

Malignant cells in power lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) present resistance to apoptosis, in addition to to chemotherapy, that are associated to deletions or mutations of TP53, excessive expression of MCL1 and BCL2 genes and different abnormalities. Thus, the principle aim of the current research was to evaluate the influence of chlorambucil (CLB) mixed with valproic acid (VPA), a identified antiepileptic drug…
