Abstract excerpt
Autophagy plays diverse roles in Ras-related tumorigenesis. H-ras(val12) induces autophagy through multiple signaling pathways including Raf-1/ERK pathway, and various ERK downstream molecules of autophagy have been reported. In this study, Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa-interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) is identified as a downstream transducer of the Ras/Raf/ERK signaling pathway to induce autophagy. BNIP3 was...
