Abstract

Autophagy plays an important role in cellular homeostasis and survival for cell recycling and various stresses within the cell. Recent studies have shown that autophagy activity modulates the expression of oncogene and tumor suppressor genes, leading to the development or suppression of cancer. Induction of autophagy is involved in preventing cancer development in normal cells and plays an important role in prompting a specific cell death mechanism in cancer cells with damaged cell death function. It is also known that autophagy inhibition increases the therapeutic efficacy by sensitizing cancer cells that are resistant to chemotherapy. However, the role of autophagy has not yet been fully understood in cancer treatment. Oral squamous cell carcinoma accounts for more than 90% of oral cancer and is the sixth most common cancer in the world. The incidence of oral cancer has increased by 50% over the last 20 years and the mortality rate is over 40% within 5 years after the onset. In oral cancers, the role of autophagy are described to look for tumor inhibitory in the early stages of tumor formation, like other cancers, indicating the dual functions involved in tumor cell survival include tumor progression stages. This review summarizes the various roles of autophagy in cancer cells and suggests the possibility of autophagy as a promising target for effective oral cancer therapy.

Autophagy는 세포 내에서 세포의 재활용과 다양한 스트레스에 세포 homeostasis와 survival에 중요한 역할을 한다. 최근 연구에서는 autophagy 활성이 oncogenes과 tumor suppressor genes의 발현이 조절됨으로써 암이 발달되거나 억제됨이 보고되고 있다. Autophagy의 유도는 정상세포에서는 암 발생을 예방하는데 관여하며, 손상된 세포사멸 기능을 가진 암세포에서는 특정세포사멸기전을 유발하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 또한 autophagy 억제는 항암약물과 치료법에 저항을 나타내는 암세포를 민감하게 만들어 치료효능을 증가시킨다고 증명되고 있다. 그러나 cancer 치료에서의 autophagy의 역할은 아직까지 완전히 이해되지 않았다. Oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)는 구강암의 90% 이상을 차지하고 있으며, 전세계적으로 6th 가장 흔한 암중의 하나로, 최근 2배 이상 증가하고 있으며 높은 mortality rate를 보이고 있다. 구강암에서의 autophagy의 역할은 다른 암들과 마찬가지로 종양형성의 초기 단계 동안 종양억제성을 보이나, 종양진행 동안은 종양세포 생존에 관여하는 두 가지의 기능을 나타내는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 리뷰에서는, 암에서의 autophagy의 조절에 대한 다양한 역할을 요약하고, 이를 바탕으로 효과적인 암 치료를 위한 유망한 target으로 autophagy의 가능성을 제시하고자 한다.
