Abstract

Background: Phospholipase D (PLD) and phosphatidic acid regulate fundamental cellular processes that contribute to cancer cell proliferation and survival. Results: Inhibition of PLD2 decreases activation of the pro-survival kinase Akt leading to cell death through inhibition of autophagic flux. Conclusion: PLD2 promotes autophagy through regulation of Akt in glioblastoma cells.
