BCL2 and gastric cancer: Similarly, the ultraviolet radiation resistance-associated gene (UVRAG) is demonstrated to interact with Bcl-2 to further induce autophagy and GC cell death; moreover, miR-183 attenuates starvation-induced autophagy and apoptosis in GC cells by targeting the 3′-UTR region of UVRAG, suggesting an autophagy-related oncogenic role of miR-183 (50).
