AMP-activated protein kinase: a therapeutic target in intestinal diseases [PDF]
Adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a highly conserved energy sensor, has a crucial role in cardiovascular, neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases, as well as in cancer and metabolic disorders.

SUMOylation regulates LKB1 localization and its oncogenic activity in liver cancer [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Even though liver kinase B1 (LKB1) is usually described as a tumor suppressor in a wide variety of tissues, it has been shown that LKB1 aberrant expression is associated with bad prognosis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).

Metformin limits osteoarthritis development and progression through activation of AMPK signalling
Objectives In this study, we aim to determine the effect of metformin on osteoarthritis (OA) development and progression. Methods Destabilisation of the medial meniscus (DMM) surgery was performed in 10-week-old wild type and AMP-activated protein kinase

AMPK in the brain: its roles in glucose and neural metabolism
The adenosine monophosphate‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an integrative metabolic sensor that maintains energy balance at the cellular level and plays an important role in orchestrating intertissue metabolic signaling. AMPK regulates cell survival,

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an evolutionarily conserved heterotrimeric complex composed of α (catalytic α1 and α2) and β/γ (regulatory β1, β2, γ1, γ2, and γ3) subunits and serves as a gatekeeper of energy metabolism by responding to metabolic needs of a cell.

A new duet in cancer biology: AMPK the typical and UBE2O the atypical
Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2O (UBE2O) is upregulated in human cancers. We have demonstrated that genetic deletion or pharmacological blockade of UBE2O reduces tumorigenesis through inhibiting the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1–hypoxia ...

Glutamate induces autophagy via the two-pore channels in neural cells [PDF]
NAADP (nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate) has been proposed as a second messenger for glutamate in neuronal and glial cells via the activation of the lysosomal Ca2+ channels TPC1 and TPC2.
