Predicted mechanism of FGFR2-dependent regulation of p62/Keap1/Nrf-2 axis in ER+ BCa. FGF7/FGFR2 signalling induces autophagy in AMPKα/ULK1-dependent manner. FGFR2-mediated p62 serine 349 phosphorylation leads to Keap1/Nrf-2 complex dissociation, followed by Nrf-2 stabilization/increased expression resulted in higher activity of Nrf-2, which might be involved in BCa cell resistance to anti-ER treatment and poor prognosis of patients’.
