Expressional and mutational analyses of ATG5 gene in prostate cancers.

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that plays important roles in both cell death and cell survival. ATG5 is an essential constituent for autophagosome formation, which sequesters cytoplasmic materials before lysosomal delivery. Although both cell death and survival are important in cancer development, the role of autophagy in prostate cancer development remains unclear. The aim of this study was...
