Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Discovery and optimization of pyrazolopyrimidine sulfamates as ATG7 inhibitors
Autophagy is postulated to be required by cancer cells to survive periods of metabolic and/or hypoxic stress. ATG7 is the E1 enzyme that is required for activation of Ubl conjugation pathways involved in autophagosome formation. This article describes the design and optimization of pyrazolopyrimidine sulfamate compounds as potent and selective ...

Endothelial Atg7 Deficiency Ameliorates Acute Cerebral Injury Induced by Ischemia/Reperfusion
Ischemic strokes often result in cerebral injury due to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Although the local inflammatory responses are known to play a primary role in the brain I/R injury, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

The Aging Heart: Mitophagy at the Center of Rejuvenation. [PDF]
Aging is associated with structural and functional changes in the heart and is a major risk factor in developing cardiovascular disease. Many recent studies have focused on increasing our understanding of the basis of aging at the cellular and molecular ...

ATG7contributes to plant basal immunity towards fungal infection [PDF]
Autophagy has an important function in cellular homeostasis. In recent years autophagy has been implicated in plant basal immunity and assigned negative (“anti-death”) and positive (“pro-death”) regulatory functions in controlling cell death programs that establish sufficient immunity to microbial infection.

ATG7 immunohistochemical expression in malignant pleural mesothelioma. A preliminary report.
Literature evidence has demonstrated a high incidence of asbestos-related malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) in a Sicilian town (Biancavilla, Italy), where fluoro-edenite (FE) fibers were discovered some decades ago. As ATG7 immunohistochemical analysis has been ascribed as a prognostic tool of improved survival, we decided to investigate, in MPM ...
