MicroRNA-18a upregulates autophagy and ataxia telangiectasia mutated gene expression in HCT116 colon cancer cells
3 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved, multi-step lysosomal degradation process in which a cell degrades its own long-lived proteins and damaged organelles. Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) has recently been shown to upregulate the process of autophagy. Previous studies showed that certain microRNAs, including miR-18a, potentially regulate ATM in cancer cells. However, the mechanisms behind the modulation...
