Autophagy and radiosensitization in cancer
Autophagy is a natural self-degradative process by which cells eliminate misfolded proteins and damaged organelles. Autophagy has been shown to have multiple functions in tumor cells that may be dependent on the tumor type and the treatment conditions. Autophagy can have a cytoprotective role and be thought of as a survival mechanism or be cytotoxic in nature and mediate cell death. Radiation, ...
متن کاملAutophagy inhibition for chemosensitization and radiosensitization in cancer: do the preclinical data support this therapeutic strategy?
Recognition of the cytoprotective functions of autophagy that occur in tumor cells exposed to various forms of chemotherapy or radiation has generated intense interest in the possibility that pharmacological interference with autophagy could provide a clinical strategy for overcoming therapeutic resistance. Multiple clinical trials are currently in progress to evaluate the antimalarial agent ch...
متن کاملAutophagy induction causes a synthetic lethal sensitization to ribonucleotide reductase inhibition in breast cancer cells
Macroautophagy can promote cellular survival or death depending on the cellular context and its extent. We hypothesized that autophagy induction would synergize with a therapeutic agent targeting the autophagic cargo. To test this hypothesis, we treated breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells with tamoxifen (TMX), which induces autophagy through an estrogen receptor-independent pathway. Induction of aut...
متن کاملInhibition of SENP1 induces radiosensitization in lung cancer cells
Lung cancer is one of the most common and lethal types of malignancy. To date, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have been used as the two major treatment methods. However, radioresistance of lung cancer remains a therapeutic hindrance. The aim of this study was to identify whether small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO)-specific protease 1 (SENP1) is a marker of radioresistance that may serve as a...
متن کاملSTAT3-mediated autophagy dependence identifies subtypes of breast cancer where autophagy inhibition can be efficacious.
Autophagy is a protein and organelle degradation pathway that is involved in diverse diseases, including cancer. Recent evidence suggests that autophagy is a cell survival mechanism in tumor cells and that its inhibition, especially in combination with other therapy, could be beneficial but it remains unclear if all cancer cells behave the same way when autophagy is inhibited. We inhibited auto...
