Hypoxia-Induced Autophagy Confers Resistance of Breast Cancer Cells to Ionizing Radiation
1 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia is a hallmark of solid tumors, which presents a major obstacle to the effectiveness of radiation therapy. However, the function and the importance of molecular response have not been well defined. In the present study, hypoxia-induced autophagy and its effect on the response of breast cancer cells to ionizing radiation were examined. Results showed that hypoxic exposure induced a marked accumulation of...
