Autophagy regulation in ovarian cancer chemoresistance: Molecular mechanisms and emerging frontiers
Chemotherapy resistance is currently the primary cause of death in patients with ovarian cancer. An increasing amount of data indicates a close relationship between autophagy and chemotherapy resistance in this malignancy. Autophagy, an intracellular degradation process essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis, can promote chemotherapy resistance when dysregulated. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how autophagy-related drugs, proteins, RNAs, and pathway interventions influence chemoresistance in ovarian cancer, along with their underlying molecular mechanisms. It also outlines the broader relationship between autophagy and tumor, with a specific focus on ovarian cancer. Additionally, we evaluate the potential of combination therapies involving autophagy-modulating agents and conventional chemotherapeutic drugs, based on their synergistic effects. Although the majority of studies indicate that autophagy activation promotes cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer, a minority of reports suggest opposing roles. This review aims to provide new perspectives for overcoming chemotherapy resistance in ovarian cancer. Resistance is currently the primary cause of death in patients with ovarian cancer. An increasing amount of data indicates a close relationship between autophagy and chemotherapy resistance in ovarian cancer. Autophagy is an intracellular degradation process that maintains cellular homeostasis. Imbalances in autophagy can lead to chemotherapy resistance in ovarian cancer.
期刊介绍:
Life Sciences is an international journal publishing articles that emphasize the molecular, cellular, and functional basis of therapy. The journal emphasizes the understanding of mechanism that is relevant to all aspects of human disease and translation to patients. All articles are rigorously reviewed.
The Journal favors publication of full-length papers where modern scientific technologies are used to explain molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms. Articles that merely report observations are rarely accepted. Recommendations from the Declaration of Helsinki or NIH guidelines for care and use of laboratory animals must be adhered to. Articles should be written at a level accessible to readers who are non-specialists in the topic of the article themselves, but who are interested in the research. The Journal welcomes reviews on topics of wide interest to investigators in the life sciences. We particularly encourage submission of brief, focused reviews containing high-quality artwork and require the use of mechanistic summary diagrams.
