ATG9B and nasopharyngeal carcinoma: In fact, we observed in NPC fibroblast that genistein was capable of inducing autophagy-related genes, such as ATG9B, BECN1, MCOLN1, VPS11, and WIPI1. Recently, the increase in genes related to the inhibition of autophagy and the decrease in those related to the induction of autophagy have been reported for NPC1 patient fibroblasts [19].
