| 1 | Role of autophagy in gastric carcinogenesis显示文摘Gastric cancer represents a common and highly fatal malignancy,and thus a pathophysiology-based reconsideration is necessary,given the absence of efficient therapeutic regimens.In this regard,emerging data reveal a significant role of autophagy in gastric oncogenesis,progression,metastasis and chemoresistance.Although autophagy comprises a normal primordial process,ensuring cellular homeostasis under energy depletion and stress conditions,alterations at any stage of the complex regulatory system could stimulate a tumorigenic and promoting cascade.Among others,Helicobacter pylori infection induces a variety of signaling molecules modifying autophagy,during acute infection or after chronic autophagy degeneration.Subsequently,defective autophagy allows malignant transformation and upon cancer establishment,an overactive autophagy is stimulated.This overexpressed autophagy provides energy supplies and resistance mechanisms to gastric cancer cells against hosts defenses and anticancer treatment.This review interprets the implicated autophagic pathways in normal cells and in gastric cancer to illuminate the potential preventive,therapeutic and prognostic benefits of understanding and intervening autophagy. | Apostolis Papaefthymiou Gregory Christodoulidis Apostolos Koffas Michael Doulberis Stergios A Polyzos Anastasios Manolakis Spyros Potamianos Andreas Kapsoritakis Jannis Kountouras | 2021 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2021，13，10： | 2 |
