BH3-mimetics inhibiting anti-apoptotic BCL-2 proteins represent a novel and promising
class of antitumor drugs. While the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax is already approved by the
Food and Drug Administration, BCL-XL and MCL-1 inhibitors are currently in early clinical
trials. To predict side effects of therapeutic MCL-1 inhibition on the human hematopoietic
system, we used RNA interference and the small molecule inhibitor
