5-Fluorouracil-based chemotherapy disrupts autophagy flux and protein synthesis in cultured myotubes: a role for mTORC1 signaling

5-Fluorouracil-based chemotherapies, such as FOLFOX (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin), are used to treat colon cancer but also induce skeletal muscle toxicities. While FOLFOX can disrupt muscle autophagy signaling in vivo, the upstream mechanisms underlying this effect, a...
