Autophagy, a double-edged sword in hepatocarcinogenesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autophagy has opposite effects on hepatocarcinogenesis depending on whether it occurs before or after its onset. Autophagy prevents the initiation of hepatocarcinogenesis by suppressing oxidative stress and DNA damage. However, it also inhibits cell death and the expression of tumor suppressors to promote tumor progression once hepatocarcinogenesis has been initiated.

Virus-Induced Autophagy in Innate Immunity
When a virus invades a host cell, autophagy is triggered to maintain cellular homeostasis. Virus-induced autophagy is a double-edged sword in the antiviral function of host innate immunity. Unlike apoptosis, autophagy plays a different role in cell survival or inducing cell death. This mini-review summarizes recent developments in our understanding of the antiviral roles of autophagy in host in...
