Autophagy limits proliferation and glycolytic metabolism in acute myeloid leukemia

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Decreased autophagy contributes to malignancies; however, it is unclear how autophagy has an impact on tumor growth. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an ideal model to address this as (i) patient samples are easily accessible, (ii) the hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) where transformation occurs is well characterized and (iii) loss of the key autophagy gene Atg7 in HSPCs leads to a lethal...
