Journal: The mechanism of nickel-induced autophagy and its role in nephrotoxicity. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 3, 2024 Autophagy inhibition with 3-MA could inhibit cell viability and increase apoptosis in the TCMK-1 cells, however, autophagy promotion with rapamycin relieved cytotoxicity and decreased apoptosis...Mitophagy inhibition could inhibit cell viability and increase apoptosis in the TCMK-1 cells, whereas, promotion of mitophagy could increase cell viability and decrease apoptosis. In summary, above-mentioned results showed that NiCl2 induces autophagy in TCMK-1 cells through oxidative stress-dependent AMPK/AKT-mTOR pathway, autophagy plays a role in reducing NiCl2-induced renal toxicity, and a major mechanism in autophagy's inhibitory effect on NiCl2-induced apoptosis may be mitophagy.

In addition, the mRNA level of BOP1 was negatively correlated with antral follicle count (AFC), body-mass index (BMI), serum androgen levels, and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) in patients with PCOS. In summary, our study demonstrates that BOP1 downregulation inhibits mTOR phosphorylation through activation of the p53-dependent nucleolus stress response, which subsequently contributes to aberrant autophagy in granulosa cells, revealing that BOP1 may be a key target for probing the mechanisms of PCOS.

Journal: Interplay between autophagy and CncC regulates dendrite pruning in Drosophila. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 1, 2024 Furthermore, the metabolic regulator AMP-activated protein kinase and the insulin-target of rapamycin pathway act upstream to regulate autophagy during dendrite pruning...Conversely, CncC also indirectly affects autophagic activity via proteasomal degradation, as impaired CncC results in the inhibition of autophagy through sequestration of Atg8a into ubiquitinated protein aggregates. Thus, this study demonstrates the important role of autophagy in activating CncC prior to dendrite pruning, and further reveals an interplay between autophagy and CncC in neuronal pruning.

Overall, these data indicate that CA can inhibit NSCLC cell viability and that the underlying mechanism of action of CA involves the induction of autophagy through a Sestrin-2/LKB1/AMPK signaling cascade. Future experiments will use siRNA and small molecule inhibitors to better elucidate the role of these signaling molecules in the mechanism of action of CA as well as tumor xenograft models to assess the anticancer properties of CA in vivo.

- |||||||||| Journal: Neuronal waste management: new roles for autophagy genes in the extrusion of protein aggregates and in longevity. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 27, 2024
We found that the ATG-16.2 WD40 domain, a conserved domain critical for at least some noncanonical autophagy functions of ATG16L1 in mammalian cells, is required for the increased exopher biogenesis, reduction in polyQ aggregate load, and lifespan extension induced by neuronal inhibition of early-acting autophagy genes. Our study suggests that noncanonical functions of ATG-16.2, and potentially other early-acting autophagy genes, may play a role in neuronal exopher formation and in C. elegans aging, extending beyond their canonical degradative functions in the autophagy process.

Preclinical, Journal: Qingfei Tongluo Mixture Attenuates Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Inflammation and Fibrosis through mTOR-Dependent Autophagy in Rats. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 20, 2024 Male SD rats were randomly divided into the following groups: control, model, CQ?+?QFTL (84?mg/kg chloroquine (CQ)?+?3.64?g/kg QFTL), QFTL-L, M, H (3.64, 7.28, and 14.56?g/kg, respectively) and pirfenidone (PFD 420?mg/kg)...Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were performed to observe changes in proteins related to pulmonary fibrosis (?-smooth muscle actin (?-SMA) and matrix metalloproteinase 12 (MMP12)) and autophagy (P62 and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR))...In conclusion, QFTL could effectively attenuate bleomycin-induced inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis through mTOR-dependent autophagy in rats. Therefore, QFTL has the potential to be an alternative treatment for IPF in clinical practice.

Journal: Ginsenoside Rb1 alleviates 3-MCPD-induced renal cell pyroptosis by activating mitophagy. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 20, 2024 Therefore, we conclude that 3-MCPD damages mitochondria and leads to ROS accumulation, which causes NLRP3 activation and pyroptosis in ICR mice and NRK-52E cells, while Gs-Rb1 mitigates this phenomenon via the TFEB-mitophagy pathway. Our findings may provide new insights for understanding the molecular mechanisms by which Gs-Rb1 mitigates renal injury.

Preclinical, Journal: Ferritinophagy-mediated ferroptosis of spermatogonia is involved in busulfan-induced oligospermia in the mice. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 19, 2024 The results displayed that inhibition of autophagy relieves busulfan-induced FTH1 degradation and then blocks the occurrence of ferroptosis in GC-1 spg cells and testicular spermatogonia, which subsequently alleviates busulfan-caused testicular damage and spermatogenesis disorders. In summary, these data collectively indicated that ferroptosis of spermatogonia is involved in busulfan-induced oligospermia and mediated by autophagy-dependent FTH1 degradation, identifying a new target for the therapy of busulfan-induced male infertility.

When simulating in vitro a pathological urinary flow in murine proximal tubule kidney epithelial cells, we observe the nuclear retention of YAP1 and, consequently, high expression of RUBCN and inhibition of autophagic flux. Importantly, these findings were confirmed in biopsies of patients suffering from diabetic nephropathy, a major cause of chronic kidney disease.
