In addition, consistent with previous reports illustrating that autophagy is implicated in antigen processing for MHC presentation, concomitant induction of autophagy and MHC expression can be seen in cancer cells when treated with the conventional chemotherapies (e.g., cisplatin, taxol, and gemcitabine), targeted therapeutic agents (e.g., vemurafenib and trametinib), radiotherapy, and treatment with interferons (type I/II). The gene discussed is HLA-C; the disease is cancer.
