Autophagy facilitates glycolysis during Ras-mediated oncogenic transformation

Abstract excerpt

The protumorigenic functions for autophagy are largely attributed to its ability to promote cancer cell survival in response to diverse stresses. Here we demonstrate an unexpected connection between autophagy and glucose metabolism that facilitates adhesion-independent transformation driven by a strong oncogenic insult-mutationally active Ras. In cells ectopically expressing oncogenic H-Ras as well as human...
