IFNB1/interferon-β-induced autophagy in MCF-7 breast cancer cells counteracts its proapoptotic function
7 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
IFNB1/interferon (IFN)-β belongs to the type I IFNs and exerts potent antiproliferative, proapoptotic, antiangiogenic and immunemodulatory functions. Despite the beneficial effects of IFNB1 in experimental breast cancers, clinical translation has been disappointing, possibly due to induction of survival pathways leading to treatment resistance. Defects in autophagy, a conserved cellular degradation pathway, are...
