	abstract = {Aberrant expression of apoptosis-related genes including the {\textquoteright}cell death suppressor gene{\textquoteright} bcl-2, may play an important pathogenetic role in cancer expression by 2-CdA, and or GST would provide a basis for their efficacy in suppressing arthritis by interfering with the upregulation of bcl-2 mRNA in the synovial lining cells (Muller-Laduer et al., 1995). However, the lack of a direct inhibitory effect on the induction of bcl-2 biosynthesis at the relatively high concentrations tested suggests that both GST and 2-CdA exert their beneficial effects in these patients through a bcl-2 independent mechanism.},
