AMPK-independent autophagy promotes radioresistance of human tumor cells under clinical relevant hypoxia in vitro.

CONCLUSION: Under clinically relevant hypoxia (1% O2) the stimulation of autophagy mediates resistance of hypoxic tumor cells to ionizing radiation, which is independent of AMPK signaling. PMID: 26318663 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
