ALB and neoplasm: We next compared tumor formation between Alb-Cre+; Atg7fl/fl; Pten+/fl or Alb-Cre+; Atg5fl/fl; Pten+/fl and Alb-Cre+; Atg7fl/fl; Pten+/fl; Tazfl/fl or Alb-Cre+; Atg5fl/fl; Pten+/fl; Tazfl/fl in 140-day-old livers and noted that TAZ deletion caused a highly significant decrease in tumorigenesis in autophagy-deficient livers (Fig. 6, C and D, and fig.
