Popis: | Autophagy and apoptosis play crucial roles in tumorigenesis. Recent studies have shown that autophagy and apoptosis have a cross-talk relationship in anti-tumor therapy. It is well established that apoptosis is one of the main pathways of tumor cell death. While autophagy can occurs in tumors with opposite function: protective autophagy and lethal autophagy. Protective autophagy can inhibit tumor apoptosis induced by anticancer drugs, while lethal autophagy can induce tumor cell apoptosis in cooperation with anticancer drugs. Hence, autophagy and apoptosis have synergistic and antagonistic effects in tumor. Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor with high morbidity and mortality. In recent years, colorectal carcinoma has achieved improved clinical efficacy with drug treatment. Nonetheless, increasing drug-resistance limit the treatment efficacy, highlighting the urgency of exploring the molecular events that drive drug resistance. Researchers have found that autophagy is one of the major factors leading to drug resistance in colon cancer. Therefore, elucidating the interaction between autophagy and apoptosis is helpful to improve the efficacy of anticancer drugs in clinical treatment of colorectal cancer. This review attaches great importance to the relationship between autophagy and apoptosis and related factors in colorectal cancer. |
