Mechanistic and compositional studies of the autophagy-inducing areca nut ingredient

摘要

We previously found that the partially purified 30–100 kDa fraction of areca-nut-extract (ANE 30–100K) induces autophagy in different types of cells including oral carcinoma OECM-1 cells. This study was to analyze the composition and possible mechanisms of ANE 30-100K-induced autophagy (AIA).
