CDK4/6 and autophagy inhibitors synergistically induce senescence in Rb positive cytoplasmic cyclin E negative cancers

CDK4/6-Cyclin D pathway is often deregulated in cancer; therefore specific inhibitors have been developed. Here the authors show that treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors activate autophagy in breast cancer cells; thus, combination of such inhibitors with autophagy inhibitors results in a synergistic ef...
