Previous studies have shown that FOXO3, a member of the forkhead box O (FOXO) family, regulates autophagy in various cells. To date, whether the induction of autophagy in gastric cancer (GC) cells is triggered by an acidic microenvironment is unclear. Little is known about the relationship between FOXO3 and acidic microenvironments in GC. The aims of our study were to investigate the roles of FOXO3 and the acidic microenvironment in autophagy and to determine how FOXO3 and the acidic microenvironment regulate GC cell growth through autophagy.
