Autophagic protein Beclin 1 serves as an independent positive prognostic biomarker for non-small cell lung cancer. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Beclin 1, a key regulator of autophagy, has been found to be aberrantly expressed in a variety of human malignancies. Herein, we employed immunohistochemistry (IHC) to detect the protein expression of Beclin 1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and ...

Cancers, 2022 Simple Summary The role of autophagy core-protein Beclin 1 in colorectal cancer (CRC) development remains controversial. Here, we show that nuclear Beclin 1 is up-regulated in CRC with a negative correlation to RB protein expression.

Neurodegeneration Induces Upregulation of Beclin 1 [PDF]
Autophagy, 2006 Autophagy, a bulk degradation of subcellular constituents, is activated in normal cell growth and development, and represents the major pathway by which the cell maintains a balance between protein synthesis and protein degradation. Autophagy was documented in several neurodegenerative diseases, and under stress conditions the autophagic process can ...

Autophagy processes are dependent on EGF receptor signaling [PDF]
, 2018 Autophagy is a not well-understood conserved mechanism activated during nutritional deprivation in order to maintain cellular homeostasis. In the present study, we investigated the correlations between autophagy, apoptosis and the MAPK pathways in ...

Oncogene, 2021 Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are characterized by robust self-renewal and tumorigenesis and are responsible for metastasis, drug resistance, and angiogenesis. However, the molecular mechanisms for the regulation of CSC homeostasis are incompletely understood.

Polyglutamine tracts regulate beclin 1-dependent autophagy [PDF]
Nature, 2017 Nine neurodegenerative diseases are caused by expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) tracts in different proteins, such as huntingtin in Huntington's disease and ataxin 3 in spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3). Age at onset of disease decreases with increasing polyglutamine length in these proteins and the normal length also varies.

HUNK Phosphorylates Rubicon to Support Autophagy [PDF]
, 2019 Background: Autophagy is a catabolic cellular recycling pathway that is essential for maintaining intracellular homeostasis. Autophagosome formation is achieved via the coordination of the Beclin-1 protein complex.

Aberrant expression of Beclin-1 and LC3 correlates with poor prognosis of human hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Beclin-1, a key regulator of autophagy. Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), is involved in autophagsome formation during autophagy. The autophagic genes beclin-1 and LC3 paly an important role in the development and progression of tumor.

Beclin 1-independent autophagy contributes to apoptosis in cortical neurons. [PDF]
, 2011 Neuronal autophagy is enhanced in many neurological conditions, such as cerebral ischemia and traumatic brain injury, but its role in associated neuronal death is controversial, especially under conditions of apoptosis. We therefore investigated the role

ER-Targeted Beclin 1 Supports Autophagosome Biogenesis in the Absence of ULK1 and ULK2 Kinases
Cells, 2019 Autophagy transports cytoplasmic material and organelles to lysosomes for degradation and recycling. Beclin 1 forms a complex with several other autophagy proteins and functions in the initiation phase of autophagy, but the exact role of Beclin 1 ...
