One day of environment‐induced heat stress causes injury to the murine kidney
Abstract Environment‐induced heat stress (EIHS) results from sustained body temperature elevation owing to prolonged exposure to heat and humidity. We hypothesized that EIHS would cause kidney injury and cellular dysfunction. To test this hypothesis, female C57 mice were exposed to EIHS (n = 14; 37.6°C, 42.0% relative humidity) or thermoneutral (TN ...

Protective role of autophagy in neonatal hypoxia–ischemia induced brain injury
Autophagy, an intracellular bulk degradation process of cellular constituents, plays a key role in cell homeostasis and can be induced by stresses, such as nutrient depletion, closed head injury or focal cerebral ischemia.

Cell Toxicity and Autophagy in A549 Cells Treated With Surface‐Functionalized Graphene Derivatives
ABSTRACT Graphene oxide and its derivatives have unique physical and chemical properties with applications in many different fields. However, their biological effects and mechanisms of intracellular toxicity have not been completely clarified. In this study, we investigated the cytotoxic and autophagic activities of graphene oxide and its derivatives ...

NEK2 induces autophagy‐mediated bortezomib resistance by stabilizing Beclin‐1 in multiple myeloma
NEK2 is associated with drug resistance in multiple cancers. Our previous studies indicated that high NEK2 confers inferior survival in multiple myeloma (MM); thus, a better understanding of the mechanisms by which NEK2 induces drug resistance in MM is ...

Human cachexia induces changes in mitochondria, autophagy and apoptosis in the skeletal muscle [PDF]
Cachexia is a wasting syndrome characterized by the continuous loss of skeletal muscle mass due to imbalance between protein synthesis and degradation, which is related with poor prognosis and compromised quality of life.

Local Anesthetics in Cancer: Mechanisms and Translational Perspectives
Local anesthetics demonstrate multifaceted antitumor effects that collectively contribute to cancer suppression. Beyond canonical sodium channel blockade, these agents exert the following pharmacological actions: inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, suppression of migration and invasion, induction of proapoptotic pathways, attenuation of ...

RNA‐Binding Proteins and Ferroptosis in Cancer: Mechanism and Therapeutic Implications
Ferroptosis critically influences cancer cell fate and represents a promising therapeutic strategy. Emerging evidence identifies RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) as key post‐transcriptional regulators of ferroptosis. The figure summarizes ferroptosis‐related RBPs across cancers: blue RBPs act as tumor suppressors by promoting ferroptosis, whereas red RBPs ...

Depletion of Beclin-1 due to proteolytic cleavage by caspases in the Alzheimer's disease brain
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).
