Autophagy suppresses Ras-driven epithelial tumourigenesis by limiting the accumulation of reactive oxygen species
5 Jun 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Activation of Ras signalling occurs in ~30% of human cancers; however, activated Ras alone is not sufficient for tumourigenesis. In a screen for tumour suppressors that cooperate with oncogenic Ras (RasV12) inDrosophila, we identified genes involved in the autophagy pathway. Bioinformatic analysis of human tumours revealed that several core autophagy genes, includingGABARAP, correlate with...
