The inhibition of Apatinib-induced autophagy with CQ in vitro increased apoptosis in thyroid cancer KHM-5M and C643 cells through the downregulation of p-Akt and p-mTOR, while Apatinib/CQ therapy augmented the suppression of the mice thyroid cancer xenograft in vivo [76]. The gene discussed is MTOR; the disease is thyroid cancer.
