Interestingly, dormant breast cancer cells cultured in a basal membrane extract displayed an increased expression of autophagy markers such as microtubule-associated protein 1 A/1B-light chain 3 (MAP1LC3, known as LC3) and Lysosomal-Associated Membrane Protein 1 (LAMP1) [103,104]. This evidence concerns the gene MAP1LC3A and breast cancer.
