Tumor suppressor gene<i><i>PDCD4</i></i>negatively regulates autophagy by inhibiting the expression of autophagy-related gene<i><i>ATG5</i></i>
2 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
PDCD4 (programmed cell death protein 4), a suppressor of gene transcription and translation, plays a crucial inhibitory role in several types of human tumors. However, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Autophagy, an evolutionarily conserved catabolic process, maintains cellular homeostasis under stress conditions such as starvation and plays a crucial role in tumor initiation and progression. We report...
