In addition, Myriam Catalano et al. demonstrated that Beclin-1 silence and ATG7 down-regulation could enhance the EMT process by overexpression of SNAIL and SLUG in glioblastoma cells, and cell migration and invasion would be attenuated when autophagy is induced upon starvation and treatment with mTOR inhibitors [7]. Here, MTOR is linked to glioblastoma.
