Morphologic examination of the Hoechst - stained cell preparations at 16 hours after treatment with 20 nmol / L rapamycin showed morphologic
evidence of apoptosis, such as nuclear condensation and fragmentation in ALCL cells (A, bottom right).

The protein encoded by the PIK3C2G gene belongs to the phosphatidylinositol -4,5-bisphosphonate 3 - kinase (PI3K) family, which plays a critical role in cancer.28 Experimental
evidence suggests that activation
of PI3K signaling enhances production
of COX - 2 and PGE2, which results in inhibition
of apoptosis in colon cancer cell lines that can be restored with NSAID - mediated blockade
of PI3K.29
To search for more
evidence of tumor cell
apoptosis, a TUNEL assay was performed on mice tumor sections.
A number
of lines
of evidence indicate that in a cancer context, like in development (Daxx - null genotype is an embryonic lethal condition in which the embryos die by age E9.5 [15], due to global
apoptosis), DAXX may have a pro-survival role.
