Intracellular alpha-fetoprotein interferes with all-trans retinoic acid induced ATG7 expression and autophagy in hepatocellular carcinoma cells
Abstract Retinoic acid and retinoid acid receptor (RA-RAR) signaling exhibits suppressive functions in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through multiple mechanisms. However, whether RA-RAR signaling induces autophagy that contributes its anti-tumor activity in HCC remains elusive. I...
