Intestinal barrier tightening by a cell-penetrating antibody to Bin1, a candidate target for immunotherapy of ulcerative colitis. [PDF]

, 2018
Patients afflicted with ulcerative colitis (UC) are at increased risk of colorectal cancer. While its causes are not fully understood, UC is associated with defects in colonic epithelial barriers that sustain inflammation of the colon mucosa caused by ...

Inhibition of PLA2G15 Alleviates Palmitic Acid‐Induced Lysosomal Membrane Permeabilization in Human Nucleus Pulposus Cells During Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
LMP is responsible for lysosomal dysfunction in IDD. The lipid composition changes in the lysosomal membrane, mediated by PLA2G15, are the cause of LMP. The C/EBPα significantly promotes PLA2G15 expression under PA overload stress. Inhibition of PLA2G15 alleviates PA‐induced LMP by inhibiting the hydrolysis of lysosomal membrane phospholipids.

Chronic smoke exposure is associated with autophagy in murine Peyer's patches [PDF]

, 2011
INTRODUCTION: Cigarette smoke causes oxidative stress, leading to smoke-induced autophagy in several organs. Autophagy is a homeostatic process regulating the turnover of proteins and cytoplasmatic organelles.

The DAXX co-repressor is directly recruited to active regulatory elements genome-wide to regulate autophagy programs in a model of human prostate cancer. [PDF]

, 2015
While carcinoma of the prostate is the second most common cause of cancer death in the US, current methods and markers used to predict prostate cancer (PCa) outcome are inadequate.

The Dual Role of Autophagy in Cancer: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Autophagy is a conserved cellular process degrading dysfunctional organelles and protein aggregates to maintain cell homeostasis, and it exhibits context‐dependent duality in cancer. Autophagy functions as a critical tumor‐suppressive mechanism by preventing DNA damage and mutation during tumor initiation.

The activation of KSHV lytic cycle blocks autophagy in PEL cells [PDF]

, 2015
This study confirms that autophagy is activated concomitantly with KSHV lytic cycle induction, and that autophagy inhibition by BECN1 knockdown reduces viral lytic gene expression.

CNC–PNIPAM Drug Delivery System Improves Endometrial Receptivity via Natural Killer Cell Immune Tolerance in Endometriosis

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2026.
An injectable CNC–PNIPAM hydrogel is developed for intrauterine co‐delivery of levonorgestrel and botropase. This platform reprograms uterine natural killer cells toward an immune–tolerant phenotype and enhances endometrial receptivity marker expression. The results demonstrate a promising strategy to counteract endometriosis–associated infertility and

Stanniocalcin 2‐Induced Autophagy Confers Resistance of Lung Cancer Cells to EGFR Inhibition via the ERK/Beclin 1 Signaling

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Although epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR TKIs) are effective in treating NSCLC with EGFR mutations, the development of resistance limits their long‐term efficacy. Autophagy has been implicated as a potential mechanism behind this acquired resistance.
