Apoptosis inhibition by Bcl-2 gives way to autophagy in glucocorticoid-treated lymphocytes

Glucocorticosteroid hormones, including prednisone and dexamethasone (Dex), have been used to treat lymphoid malignancies for many years because they readily induce apoptosis in immature lymphocytes lacking Bcl-2. However, elevated expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 inhibits apoptosis an...
