Activated Ras requires autophagy to maintain oxidative metabolism and tumorigenesis

…, G Karsli-Uzunbas, JJ Kamphorst, G Chen… - Genes & …, 2011 - genesdev.cshlp.org
Autophagy is a catabolic pathway used by cells to support metabolism in response to starvation
and to clear damaged proteins and organelles in response to stress. We report here that …

Autophagy suppresses progression of K-ras-induced lung tumors to oncocytomas and maintains lipid homeostasis

JY Guo, G Karsli-Uzunbas, R Mathew… - Genes & …, 2013 - genesdev.cshlp.org
Macroautophagy (autophagy hereafter) degrades and recycles proteins and organelles to
support metabolism and survival in starvation. Oncogenic Ras up-regulates autophagy, and …

Autophagy Sustains Mitochondrial Glutamine Metabolism and Growth of BrafV600E–Driven Lung Tumors

AM Strohecker, JY Guo, G Karsli-Uzunbas, SM Price… - Cancer discovery, 2013 - AACR
Autophagic elimination of defective mitochondria suppresses oxidative stress and preserves
mitochondrial function. Here, the essential autophagy gene Atg7 was deleted in a mouse …

Autophagy is required for glucose homeostasis and lung tumor maintenance

G Karsli-Uzunbas, JY Guo, S Price, X Teng, SV Laddha… - Cancer discovery, 2014 - AACR
Macroautophagy (autophagy hereafter) recycles intracellular components to sustain
mitochondrial metabolism that promotes the growth, stress tolerance, and malignancy of lung …

Autophagy promotes mammalian survival by suppressing oxidative stress and p53
