The modulation of autophagy is an important component of tumor initiation and progression and ULK1 plays an essential role in macroautophagy and mitophagy.However, the precise regulatory signaling mechanisms and functions of ULK1 in cancers are not completely understood.Here, we find that the expression of ULK1 decreases gradually during the progression of breast cancer.A strong correlation between low expression of ULK1 and ERK, GSK-3β activation is observed in human breast carcinoma.
