Expression of beclin-1 in the microenvironment of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast: correlation with prognosis and the cancer-stromal interaction. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 We examined the pathobiological properties of beclin-1, which is a key regulator of autophagosome formation in invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast, with a particular focus on the cancer microenvironment.

Beclin-1–Dependent Autophagy Improves Outcomes of Pneumonia-Induced Sepsis
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 ObjectiveWe previously demonstrated that promoting Beclin-1–dependent autophagy is cardiac protective during endotoxemia shock, suggesting that autophagy-based approaches may become a promising therapeutic strategy for sepsis.

Autophagy and rheumatoid arthritis: Current knowledges and future perspectives [PDF]
, 2018 Autophagy is a degradation mechanism by which cells recycle cytoplasmic components to generate energy. By influencing lymphocyte development, survival, and proliferation, autophagy regulates the immune responses against self and non-self antigens ...

Targeting Beclin 1 for viral subversion of macroautophagy [PDF]
Autophagy, 2010 We have recently characterized that influenza A virus blocks autophagosome degradation via its matrix protein 2. Matrix protein 2 seems to achieve this macroautophagy inhibition not by its well-characterized proton channel function, but possibly due to its binding to Atg6/Beclin 1, thereby enhancing the death of its host cell.

Expression of Beclin 1 in Bladder Cancer and Its Clinical Significance
The International Journal of Biological Markers, 2013 Background The aim of this study is to explore the expression of beclin 1, an autophagy gene, in bladder cancer and to evaluate its clinical and prognostic significance in patients with bladder cancer. Methods Beclin 1 expression was examined at mRNA and

Phosphorylation of BECLIN-1 by BCR-ABL suppresses autophagy in chronic myeloid leukemia
Haematologica, 2020 Autophagy is a genetically regulated process of adaptation to metabolic stress and was recently shown to be involved in the treatment response of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

Beclin 1 bridges autophagy, apoptosis and differentiation [PDF]
Autophagy, 2008 Beclin 1 is a critical component in the class III PI3 kinase complex (PI3KC3) that induces the formation of autophagosomes in mammalian systems. Autophagic triggers upregulate Beclin 1, which in turn binds to PI3KC3 or Bcl-X(L) to form complexes of Beclin 1-PI3KC3 or Beclin 1-Bcl-X(L) that are physically and functionally independent from each other ...
