Cytotoxicity of [HuArgI (co)-PEG5000]-induced arginine deprivation to ovarian Cancer cells is autophagy dependent by Nasreddine, Ghenwa

“…[HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000]-induced arginine deprivation led to extensive and prolonged activation of autophagy, which proved to be deleterious to cell survival since its inhibition led to a significant decrease in cytotoxicity. This indicates that the activation of autophagy following arginine-deprivation, rather than being protective, mediates cell cytotoxicity leading to death by autophagy.…”
