Autophagy and liver cancer

Abstract: Autophagy is a key biological phenomenon conserved from yeast to mammals. Under basal conditions, activation of autophagy leads to the protein degradation as well as damaged organelles for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Deregulation of autophagy has been identified as a key mechanism contributing to the pathogenesis and progression of several liver diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one of the most common and mortal types of cancer. Currently used treatment strategies in patients with HCC r… Show more

“…The autophagic process, an act of “self-degradation”, impacts various aspects of HCC growth and metastatic progression, as well as modulating the therapeutic efficacy of various drugs targeting HCC [30,31], hence why we explored the involvement of autophagy in HCC cells upon WFA treatment. Autophagy related protein ATG4 cleaves microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 α (MAP1LC3B/LC3B) to form LC3B-I which then conjugates with phosphatidylethanolamine to form LC3B-II.…”

“…Az autophagiának ellentmondásos szerepe van a HCC kialakulásában és progressziójában [24]. A daganatképződés korai szakaszában az autophagia gátolja a sejtek malignus átalakulását.…”

“…A gyorsan növekvő daganatoknál a tumor egyes részeinek vérellátása nem jó, oxigén-és tápanyaghiány lép fel. Ezeken a területeken az autophagia fokozódik, és ezzel segíti a sejtek túlélését, hozzájárul a tumoros sejtek életben maradásához hypoxia, oxidatív stressz és kemoterápia mellett is [24].…”

“…The survival of fast-growing tumors is in particular correlated with their autophagous activity. There is also a large collection of articles concerning autophagy in drug resistance [5]. In HCC, autophagy may involve both tumor surveillance and invasiveness, indicating a dual role and stage-dependent function in cancer.…”
