Cancers are huge problems that need to be investigated thoroughly. Rab5a plays an important part in the regulation of intracellular membrane trafficking. However, its role in cancer and autophagy has not been fully determined. In this study, we analyzed the correlation between Rab5a expression and patients' prognosis and then explored the effect of Rab5a knockdown on different cell lines using western blotting and fluorescence. Our results showed that up-regulated Rab5a positively correlated with the prognosis of …
