FoxM1 knockdown sensitizes human cancer cells to proteasome inhibitor-induced apoptosis but not to autophagy

Abstract excerpt

Apoptosis has been widely accepted as the primary mechanism of drug-induced cell death. Recently, a second type of cell death pathway has been demonstrated: autophagy, also called programmed type II cell death. Autophagy is a highly regulated process, by which selected components of a cell are degraded. It primarily functions as a cell survival mechanism under stress. However, persistent stress can also promote...
