MIR376A is a regulator of starvation-induced autophagy [PDF]
Background: Autophagy is a vesicular trafficking process responsible for the degradation of long-lived, misfolded or abnormal proteins, as well as damaged or surplus organelles.

Depletion of Beclin-1 Due to Proteolytic Cleavage by Caspases in the Alzheimer\u27s Disease Brain [PDF]
The Beclin-1 protein is essential for the initiation of autophagy and recent studies suggest this function may be compromised in Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

ABSTRACT Fluorouracil‐platinum(IV) prodrugs represent a novel class of multimechanistic chemotherapeutics with enhanced anticancer potential. The prodrugs PtIVP‐5FUMeOBut and PtIV56‐5FUMeOBut were actualized by derivatising the clinical drug 5‐fluorouracil (5FU) and coordinating it to platinum(IV) complexes, leveraging the established cytotoxicity of ...

Prognostic significance of Beclin 1 in intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Autophagy enables cells to recycle long-lived proteins or damaged organelles. Beclin 1 plays important roles in autophagy, differentiation, apoptosis and the development and progression of cancer, but the expression of Beclin 1 and its possible role in primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) has not been reported yet.

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 ...

N6‐Methyladenosine (m6A) in Liver Disease: Pathogenic Mechanisms and Therapeutic Potential
ABSTRACT Accumulating evidence highlights the critical role of epigenetic modifications, particularly N6‐methyladenosine (m6A), in liver disease. As the most abundant RNA modification in eukaryotic cells, m6A is dynamically regulated by multicomponent m6A methyltransferases (e.g., METTL3 and METTL14), demethylases (FTO and ALKBH5), and m6A‐binding ...

p65/RelA binds and activates the beclin 1 promoter [PDF]
We unveiled novel p65/RelA consensus sites in the promoter of the beclin 1 gene and demonstrate that p65/RelA positively modulates canonical autophagy in various human cell lines both under basal conditions and upon induction by ceramide. Interestingly, we find that T cell receptor-dependent activation of Jurkat cells triggers an increase in the ...

Autophagy-deficient breast cancer shows early tumor recurrence and escape from dormancy [PDF]
Breast cancer patients who initially respond to cancer therapies often succumb to distant recurrence of the disease. It is not clear why people with the same type of breast cancer respond to treatments differently; some escape from dormancy and relapse ...

Aberrant Autophagic Response in The Muscle of A Knock-in Mouse Model of Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy [PDF]
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is characterized by loss of motoneurons and sensory neurons, accompanied by atrophy of muscle cells. SBMA is due to an androgen receptor containing a polyglutamine tract (ARpolyQ) that misfolds and aggregates ...
