<p>Autophagy-Related Beclin 1 and Head and Neck Cancers</p>

Abstract: Beclin 1, a positive regulator of autophagy, behaves as a double-edged sword in tumorigenesis. Beclin 1 contributes to tumor suppression by removing defective or damaged organelles and other cellular components; however, its activity can also stimulate cancer initiation and progression. In head and neck cancer, Beclin 1 overexpression promotes autophagy, which limits DNA damage and chromosomal instability and increases necrosis and inflammation by impacting apoptotic and autophagic pathways.

“…15,16 As reported, the expression of autophagy-related gene Beclin-l in burn wounds was significantly increased, and increased autophagy was found to be helpful for wound healing. 17 However, excessive autophagy induced apoptosis and led to delayed wound healing. 18 Our experimental results also support this view.…”

“…The need for more sensitive molecular predictors of survival in HCC cases had been challenged in many studies with unsatisfactory impacts. The autophagy gene, Beclin-1, had been studied in stomach, ovaries, esophagus, and colon cancers (Hu et al, 2020). Over-expression of Beclin-1 had been demonstrated in pancreatic and nasopharyngeal cancer (Hu et al, 2016).…”

“…In our study, ATG4, ATG5, and ATG8 gene levels were upregulated in each iAs 3+ dose group. Moreover, Beclin-1 is a key regulator of autophagy; it promotes the transformation of LC3-I to LC3-II, thereby re ecting autophagy activation 39 . Previous evidence has suggested mTOR is a regulatory autophagy inhibitor, promotes Beclin-1 release, and is an important regulator in anabolism and catabolism, cell growth, and proliferation 9 .…”
