HMGB1 regulates autophagy through increasing transcriptional activities of JNK and ERK in human myeloid leukemia cells
30 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
HMGB1 is associated with human cancers and is an activator of autophagy which mediates chemotherapy resistance. We here show that the mRNA levels of HMGB1 are high in leukemia cells and it is involved in the progression of childhood chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). HMGB1 decreases the sensitivity of human myeloid leukemia cells K562 to anti-cancer drug induced death through up-regulating the autophagy pathway,...
