Objective: Research suggests that Puerarin may protect against sepsis-induced myocardial damage. However, the mechanisms responsible for Puerarin’s cardioprotective effect remain largely unclear. In this study, our objective is to investigate the role of

IQGAP1 binds AMPK and is required for maximum AMPK activation [PDF]
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a fundamental component of a protein kinase cascade that is an energy sensor. AMPK maintains energy homeostasis in the cell by promoting catabolic and inhibiting anabolic pathways. Activation of AMPK requires phosphorylation by the liver kinase B1 or by the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase 2 (CaMKK2).

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) as a potential therapeutic target independent of PI3K/Akt signaling in prostate cancer [PDF]
Depletion of cellular energy activates the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) to favor energy-producing catabolic processes during tumorigenesis.

Role of AMPK Throughout Meiotic Maturation in the Mouse Oocyte: Evidence for Promotion of Polar Body Formation and Suppression of Premature Activation [PDF]
This study was conducted to assess the role of AMPK in regulating meiosis in mouse oocytes from the germinal vesicle stage to metaphase II. Exposure of mouse cumulus cell-enclosed oocytes (CEO) and denuded oocytes (DO) during spontaneous maturation in ...

AMPK-dependent phosphorylation is required for transcriptional activation of TFEB and TFE3
Increased macroautophagy/autophagy and lysosomal activity promote tumor growth, survival and chemo-resistance. During acute starvation, autophagy is rapidly engaged by AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) activation and MTOR (mechanistic target of ...

Activation of AMP-activated protein kinase by metformin induces protein acetylation in prostate and ovarian cancer cells [PDF]
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an energy sensor and master regulator of metabolism. AMPK functions as a fuel gauge monitoring systemic and cellular energy status.

Atg8ylation as a general membrane stress and remodeling response
The yeast Atg8 protein and its paralogs in mammals, mammalian Atg8s (mAtg8s), have been primarily appreciated for their participation in autophagy. However, lipidated mAtg8s, including the most frequently used autophagosomal membrane marker LC3B, are ...
