The mTOR-dependent pathway is strongly connected to the autophagic machinery, and indeed autophagy-related genes such as GABARAPL1 (GABA(A) receptor-associated protein like 1 or ATG8) (1.9), GABARAPL3 (GABA(A) receptors-associated protein like 3 (pseudogene)) (2.3) and WIPI1 (WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting 1 gene or Atg18) (2.8) were also positively differentially expressed, suggesting that surviving neuroblastoma cells may present an induction of autophagy [34,35]. Here, GABARAPL1 is linked to neuroblastoma.
