Glioblastoma ablates pericytes antitumor immune function through aberrant up-regulation of chaperone-mediated autophagy
23 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
The contractile perivascular cells, pericytes (PC), are hijacked by glioblastoma (GB) to facilitate tumor progression. PC's protumorigenic function requires direct interaction with tumor cells and contributes to the establishment of immunotolerance to tumor growth. Cancer cells up-regulate their own chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), a process that delivers selective cytosolic proteins to lysosomes for...
