Beclin 1 Biology and its Role in Heart Disease [PDF]
Current Cardiology Reviews, 2015 Macroautophagy (hereafter termed autophagy) is a highly evolutionarily conserved pathway that degrades intracellular components such as damaged organelles in lysosome. Autophagy occurs at low basal levels in virtually all types of cells, which is required for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Beclin 1 protein, encoded by the beclin 1 gene, plays

Brainiac Caspases: Beyond the Wall of Apoptosis [PDF]
, 2019 For the last two decades, caspases, a family of cysteine-aspartic proteases, have evolved from being considered solely as regulators of apoptosis or inflammation to having a wider range of functions.

Role of COL1A1 and CD44 in Modulating JAK1/STAT3‐Mediated Autophagy for Spinal Cord Injury Recovery
The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe trauma to the central nervous system that often leads to motor and sensory dysfunction in patients, severely affecting their quality of life. Autophagy plays a role in the pathological process of SCI, but the specific mechanism of autophagy in this case is unknown.

Beclin-1-Dependent Autophagy Protects the Heart During Sepsis [PDF]
Circulation, 2018 Background: Cardiac dysfunction is a major component of sepsis-induced multiorgan failure in critical care units. Changes in cardiac autophagy and its role during sepsis pathogenesis have not been clearly defined. Targeted autophagy-based therapeutic approaches for sepsis are not yet developed.

Lysosome Evanescence Mediates Autophagic Flux Impairment in Glucose Imbalanced Environments
The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Schwann cells (SCs) support axonal function and promote nerve regeneration. This study investigated how various glucose concentrations influence SC viability, oxidative stress, and autophagy, which contribute to diabetic neuropathy. RSC96 SCs were cultured under five glucose conditions (0, 2.5, 5.5, 50, or 100 mM) for 24, 48, and 72 h.

Upregulation of Beclin 1 in the ischemic penumbra [PDF]
Autophagy, 2008 Here we discuss the probable role of autophagy in cerebral ischemia based on our own recent data and the literature. We examined the protein level of Beclin 1 (Bcl-2 interacting protein) and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) which were previously found to promote autophagy.

Short-term fenofibrate treatment improves ultrastructure of hepatocytes of old rats
Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2021 INTRODUCTION: Fenofibrate (FN) is a hypolipemic drug used for the treatment of mixed dyslipidemia. Since in our previous study FN administration to young and old rats adversely affected the serum activity of liver marker enzymes, we decided to examine ...

Trehalose alleviates the phenotype of Machado–Joseph disease mouse models [PDF]
, 2020 Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), also known as spinocerebellar ataxia type 3, is the most common of the dominantly inherited ataxias worldwide and is characterized by mutant ataxin-3 aggregation and neuronal degeneration.
