Inhibition of chaperone‑mediated autophagy reduces tumor growth and metastasis and promotes drug sensitivity in colorectal cancer
12 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
Chaperone‑mediated autophagy (CMA) is a selective type of autophagy whereby a specific subset of intracellular proteins is targeted to the lysosome for degradation. The present study investigated the mechanisms underlying the response and resistance to 5‑fluorouracil (5‑FU) in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines. In engineered 5‑FU‑resistant CRC cell lines, a significant elevation of lysosome‑associated membrane...
