Abstract 1230: Critical role of cav1 in high-throughput identification of gallic acid as a novel late-stage autophagy suppresser against invasive breast cancer

Purpose: Development of autophagy inhibitors has important clinical significance in cancer therapies. We and others demonstrated that over-expression of Caveolin-1 (Cav1), which was the major scaffolding protein of caveolae, was associated with higher tumor stage, metastasis and worse prognosis in various carcinomas, particularly in breast cancer. Furthermore, we identified critical role of Cav1 in breast cancer metastasis via modulation of...
