Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy, Stress, and Cancer Metabolism: What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger

TL;DR: Targeting autophagy in single-agent therapy to sensitize aggressive cancers that are dependent on autophagic for survival or in combination with therapeutic agents that induce autophile as a resistance mechanism may be an effective therapeutic strategy to treat cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of the Polarity Determinant Crumbs in Suppressing Mammalian Epithelial Tumor Progression

TL;DR: A role for mammalian polarity determinants in suppressing tumorigenesis that may be analogous to the well-studied polarity tumor suppressor mechanisms in Drosophila is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy is required for mitochondrial function, lipid metabolism, growth, and fate of KRAS(G12D)-driven lung tumors.

TL;DR: It is found that deletion of the essential autophagy gene, Atg7, in KRASG12D-driven NSCLC inhibits tumor growth and converts adenomas and adenocarcinomas to benign oncocytomas characterized by the accumulation of respiration-defective mitochondria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Therapeutic starvation and autophagy in prostate cancer: a new paradigm for targeting metabolism in cancer therapy.

TL;DR: The understanding of autophagy, as either a mechanism of resistance to therapies that induce metabolic stress, or as a means to cell death, is rapidly expanding and supportive of a new paradigm of therapeutic starvation.
