Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), which is characterized by the absence of estrogen and progesterone receptors as well as Her2⁄ErbB2 receptor overexpression, has a poor prognosis in part due the lack of targeted therapeutics for this cancer subtype. In this thesis project, the role and implication of autophagy in TNBC proliferation and progression was investigated. We demonstrated that autophagy regulates focal adhesion (FA) turnover, which is a fundamental turning point for cancer cell locomotion and invasion. Downregulation of autophagy using molecular and pharmacological approaches inhibits FA turnover, cell migration and metastasis formation in TNBC preclinical model. Moreover, we uncovered an essential role of tyrosine 118 site-spe...
