摘要: Deregulated oncogenes such as MYC and RAS are typically insufficient to transform cells on their own due the activation of pathways that restrain proliferation. Previous studies have shown oncogenic H-Ras can induce proliferative arrest or senescence, depending cellular context. Here, we show deregulated activity also lead caspase-independent cell death with features autophagy. Ras-induced autophagy was associated upregulation BH3-only protein Noxa well regulator Beclin-1. Silencing Beclin-1 expression reduced increased clonogenic survival. inhibited by coexpression Bcl-2 family members inhibit function. Noxa-mediated displacement member, Mcl-1, from Thus, promotes autophagic death, which represents a mechanism limit potential Ras signals.
