Autophagy is an intracellular recycling and degradation process for regulating tumor progression, survival and drug resistance. Nickel compounds have been identified as human carcinogens. However, the role of nickel-induced autophagy in lung carcinogenesis has not yet been fully elucidated. In this study, we determined that hexokinase 2 (HK2), which phosphorylates glucose and regulates autophag...
Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is associated with nearly all forms of heart failure. It develops in response to disorders such as coronary artery disease, hypertension and myocardial infarction. Angiotensin II (Ang II) has direct effects on the myocardium and promotes hypertension. Chronic elevation of Ang II can lead to pathological cardiac hypertrophy and cardiac failure. Autophagy is an im...
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) play an important role in the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and accelerate atherosclerosis in diabetic patients. Autophagy, a life-sustaining process, is stimulated in atherosclerotic plaques by oxidized lipids, inflammation and metabolic stress conditions. In our studies, we utilized MTT assays to show that autophagy is involved in...
Men exhibit a worse survival rate than premenopausal women after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), however, no sex-specific management has been concerned. In a rat model involving infusion of ferrous citrate (FC) that simulates iron accumulation after hemorrhage, a higher degree of autophagy associated with higher injury severity was observed in striatum of males than in females. Since the imbala...
The broccoli isothiocyanate, sulforaphane (SFN), was recently identified as being capable of eliminating highly therapy-resistant pancreatic carcinoma (PC) cells without inducing toxic side effects. While SFN has been shown to stimulate autophagy or 'self-eating', it is unclear whether this catabolic process is a pro- or anti-tumorigenic response. To investigate the role of autophagy in SFN-ind...
Cucurbitacin B (Cuc B), a natural product, induced both protective autophagy and DNA damage mediated by ROS while the detailed mechanisms remain unclear. This study explored the mechanism of Cuc B-induced DNA damage and autophagy. Cuc B decreased cell viability in concentration- and time-dependent manners. Cuc B caused long comet tails and increased expression of γ-H2AX, phosphorylation of ATM/...
Hypoxia frequently accompanies such vascular disorders as atherosclerosis, thrombosis and ischemia/reperfusion injury. Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion, in particular, is a major contributor to cardiomyocyte impairment. Autophagy is a dynamic, self-catabolic process that has been implicated in a wide range of physiological processes and the pathogenesis of diverse diseases. The aim of the presen...
BACKGROUND/AIMS Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) plays a crucial role in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Autophagy is involved in irreversible cell injury and death under extreme conditions. However, whether iNOS mediates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in endothelial cells via autophagy remains ill-defined. In this study, we examined whether I/R-mediated up-regulation of iNOS is...
Autophagy is a cellular self-eating process essential for stress response and maintaining tissue homeostasis by lysosomal degradation of unwanted or damaged proteins and organelles. Here, we show that cells with defective mitochondria induce autophagy to promote cell survival through activating the AMPK pathway. Loss of mitochondrial complex III protein cytochrome b activates the AMPK signaling...
Astrocyte-elevated gene-1 (AEG-1) expression increases in multiple cancers and plays a crucial role in oncogenic transformation and angiogenesis, which are essential components in tumor cell development, growth, and progression to metastasis. Moreover, AEG-1 directly contributes to resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs, another important hallmark of aggressive cancers. In the present study, we d...
