TP53INP2 at the crossroad of apoptosis and autophagy in death receptor signaling

Mol Cell Oncol. 2019 Jun 24;6(5):e1632687. doi: 10.1080/23723556.2019.1632687. eCollection 2019.

Abstract

The binding of ligands to death receptors elicits distinct outcomes, such as apoptosis, inflammation and necroptosis, depending on the cellular context. We have recently described that the autophagic protein TP53INP2 favors apoptosis upon death receptor signaling and is a potential biomarker of responsiveness to TRAIL treatment.

Keywords: TP53INP2; TRAIL; apoptosis; autophagy; death receptor signaling.
