Background: Breast cancer is accounted as the fifth leading cause of mortality among the other cancers. Notwithstanding, Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is responsible for the 15-20% of breast cancer mortality. Despite the many investigations, it remains incurable in part due to insufficient understanding of its exact mechanisms. Methods: A literature search was performed in PubMed, SCOPUS and Web of Science databases using the keywords autophagy, Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) stress, apoptosis, TNBC and the combinations of these keywords. Results: It was found that autophagy plays a dual role in cancer, so that it may decrease the viability of tumor cells or act as a cytoprotective mechanism. It then appears that using compounds having modulatory effects on autophagy is of importance in terms of induction of autophagic cell death and diminishing the proliferation and metastasis of tumor cells. Also, ER stress can be modulated in order to stimulate apoptotic and autophagic cell death in tumor cells. Conclusion: Perturbation in the signaling pathways related to cell survival leads to the initiation and progression of cancer. Regarding the advancement in the cancer pathology, it seems that modulation of autophagy and ER stress are promising.

ULK1 is identified as a target in TNBC; thus a small-molecule agonist is discovered by targeting ULK1-modulated cell death, associated with autophagy and apoptosis.
