Abstract:
Autophagy, as a conservative self-degradative approach of eukaryotic cells, plays an important role in cellular growth, proliferation,differentiation, death and keeping intracellular steady state. On one hand, autophagy can protect tumor cells to keep survival; on the other hand, autophagy can lead to apoptosis of leukemia cells. The double-edged impacts of autophagy make it to be the hotspot for research on mechanism and treatment of leukemia. This article reviews the diverse effects of autophagy in different leukemia cell lines, as well as its corresponding mechanism resulting in drug resistance, so as to provide theoretic guide for direct rational application of drugs according to their various mechnisms.
