Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of survival gene product expression; survival gene products are those that antagonize the apoptotic program. Regulation can be at the transcriptional, translational, or posttranslational level. The conversion of proteins that induce or sustain apoptosis to an active form. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell death by apoptosis. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell death by apoptosis of mammary epithelial cells during mammary gland involution. Any process that increases the occurrence or rate of mesenchymal stem cell death by apoptosis that contributes to the shaping of the nephron. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of lymphocyte death by apoptosis. A form of programmed cell death that begins when a cell receives internal or external signals that trigger the activity of proteolytic caspases, proceeds through a series of characteristic stages typically including rounding-up of the cell, retraction of pseudopodes, reduction of cellular volume (pyknosis), chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), and plasma membrane blebbing (but maintenance of its integrity until the final stages of the process), and ends with the death of the cell. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of nurse cell apoptosis. Any process that modulates the occurrence or rate of cell death by apoptosis. Any viral process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell death by apoptosis. A process that directly activates any of the steps required for cell death by apoptosis. Cell death resulting from activation of endogenous cellular processes. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of programmed cell death, cell death resulting from activation of endogenous cellular processes. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell death of neurons by apoptosis. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of programmed cell death, cell death resulting from activation of endogenous cellular processes. Any process by which an organism activates, maintains or increases the frequency, rate or extent of programmed cell death by apoptosis in a second organism, where the two organisms are in a symbiotic interaction. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of glial cell apoptosis. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of myeloid cell apoptosis. Any process that increases the rate or frequency of muscle cell apoptosis. Muscle cell apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death induced by external or internal signals that trigger the activity of proteolytic caspases, whose actions dismantle a muscle cell and result in its death. Any process that increases the rate or frequency of cell death. Cell death is the specific activation or halting of processes within a cell so that its vital functions markedly cease, rather than simply deteriorating gradually over time, which culminates in cell death.
