Regulation of autophagy by a beclin 1-targeted microRNA, miR-30a, in cancer cells
16 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
beclin 1, the mammalian homologue of the yeast Atg6, is a key autophagy-promoting gene that plays a critical role in the regulation of cell death and survival of various types of cells. However, recent studies have observed that the expression of beclin 1 is altered in certain diseases including cancers. The causes underlying the aberrant expression of beclin 1 remain largely unknown. We report here that...
