Journal: Autophagy: A newly discovered protective mechanism in the marine rotifer Brachionus plicatilis in response to BDE-47 exposure. (Pubmed Central) - May 15, 2023 Additional proof of this relation was obtained from the direct opposite effects of the autophagy inhibitor bafilomycin A1 and the autophagy activator rapamycin: the former increased the MDA content significantly, whereas the latter decreased it significantly. The combined results suggested that autophagy alleviated oxidative stress and might be a newly discovered protective mechanism in B. plicatilis coping with BDE-47 exposure.

Journal, Cancer stem: Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Various Autophagy Inhibitors in A549 Cancer Stem Cells. (Pubmed Central) - May 8, 2023 In the present work, we selected a panel of autophagy inhibitors (Autophinib, SBI-0206965, Siramesine, MRT68921, and IITZ-01), some of whom have been recently identified as effective autophagy inhibitors in cancer cells...Moreover, Autophinib-treated A549 cells are unable to form spheroids, which indicates a reduction in stemness. Thus, among the drugs studied, only Autophinib can be considered a potential agent against cancer stem cells.

Hence, ACR inhibited cell proliferation and contributed to cell death by inducing autophagy-dependent ferroptosis while promoting autophagy by activating AMPK-ULK1-mTOR signaling in human chondrocytes. It was hypothesized that the presence of ACR in foodstuffs may increase the risk of AS and that decreasing ACR in food products is of importance.

BBR had a protective effect on mouse fibrotic livers and reduced serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels. Collectively, these results reveal a novel mechanism of BBR-induced autophagy inhibition triggering apoptosis in HSCs, providing a reliable experimental and theoretical basis for developing BBR-based candidate drugs for LF.

LAMP3 overexpression induced lysosomal dysfunction, resulting in lysosome-dependent cell death via impaired autophagic caspase-8 degradation, and restoring lysosomal function by GLP-1R agonists could prevent this. These findings suggested that LAMP3-induced lysosomal dysfunction is central to disease development and a target for therapeutic intervention in SjD.

Journal: In Situ Nitric Oxide Gas Nanogenerator Reprograms Glioma Immunosuppressive Microenvironment. (Pubmed Central) - May 7, 2023 Here, this work designs hybrid drug-loaded nanoliposomes by co-loading the chemotherapeutic drug temozolomide (TMZ) and nitric oxide (NO) prodrug JS-K with sphingosine-1-phosphate molecules (S1P) on the surface...The positive immune response in turn effectively activates the enhanced efficacy of chemotherapy. NO gas generated nanoliposomes thus have attractive paradigm-shifting applications in the treatment of "cold" tumors across a range of immunosuppressive indications.
