Novel AKT1-GLI3-VMP1 Pathway Mediates KRAS Oncogene-induced Autophagy in Cancer Cells
26 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved degradation process of cytoplasmic cellular constituents. It has been suggested that autophagy plays a role in tumor promotion and progression downstream oncogenic pathways; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon have not been elucidated. Here, we provide both in vitro and in vivo evidence of a novel signaling pathway whereby the oncogene KRAS induces...
