drug-resistance

CAGE (Cancer-Associated GEne) is a cancer/testis antigen first identified in the sera of gastric cancer patients. It has since been characterized across multiple cancer types as a driver of protective autophagy and anticancer drug resistance, acting through direct interactions with core autophagy machinery (such as Beclin1 and VPS34) and through transcriptional or microRNA-based regulatory loops involving downstream targets like HDAC9, S1PR1, and GSK3β.
