How Tumor Cells Choose Between Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Autophagy to Resist Stress—Therapeutic Implications
2 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Tumor cells undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) or macroautophagy (hereafter autophagy) in response to stressors from the microenvironment. EMT ensues when stressors act on tumor cells in the presence of nutrient sufficiency, and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) appears to be the crucial signaling node for EMT induction. Autophagy, on the other hand, is induced in the presence of nutrient...
