The role of amplified fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) in autophagy in NSCLC was also explored in a recent study where it was reported that FGFR1 activation by its ligand inhibit autophagy through the ERK-MAPK pathway and regulation of the total Beclin 1 levels [97]. Here, FGFR1 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
