Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fluorouracil‐platinum(IV) prodrugs represent a novel class of multimechanistic chemotherapeutics with enhanced anticancer potential. The prodrugs PtIVP‐5FUMeOBut and PtIV56‐5FUMeOBut were actualized by derivatising the clinical drug 5‐fluorouracil (5FU) and coordinating it to platinum(IV) complexes, leveraging the established cytotoxicity of ...

TRIM50 regulates Beclin 1 proautophagic activity
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2018 Autophagy is a catabolic process needed for maintaining cell viability and homeostasis in response to numerous stress conditions. Emerging evidence indicates that the ubiquitin system has a major role in this process. TRIMs, an E3 ligase protein family, contribute to selective autophagy acting as receptors and regulators of the autophagy proteins ...

Prognostic significance of Beclin 1 in intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Autophagy, 2011 Autophagy enables cells to recycle long-lived proteins or damaged organelles. Beclin 1 plays important roles in autophagy, differentiation, apoptosis and the development and progression of cancer, but the expression of Beclin 1 and its possible role in primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) has not been reported yet.

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Epirubicin Alters Pancreatic Autophagy and Insulin Synthesis Through a Zinc‐Dependent Mechanism
Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Epirubicin (EPI) can cause metabolic side effects, including chemotherapy‐related diabetes, partly through oxidative stress that disrupts zinc (Zn) homeostasis and impairs autophagy. This study investigated the effects of EPI on Zn regulation and autophagy in the pancreas, as well as the modulatory role of N‐acetylcysteine (NAC). Rats received

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

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely used industrial chemical found in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins and is recognized for its endocrine‐disrupting properties. Human exposure is common due to its presence in food packaging and everyday products. As BPA use has been restricted, structurally similar compounds such as BPS, BPB, BPAF, and BADGE

The Beclin 1–VPS34 complex – at the crossroads of autophagy and beyond [PDF]
Trends in Cell Biology, 2010 An increasing body of research on autophagy provides overwhelming evidence for its connection to diverse biological functions and human diseases. Beclin 1, the first mammalian autophagy protein to be described, appears to act as a nexus point between autophagy, endosomal, and perhaps also cell death pathways.

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.

Regulation of the Autophagic Bcl-2/Beclin 1 Interaction [PDF]
Cells, 2012 Autophagy is an intracellular degradation process responsible for the delivery of cellular material to the lysosomes. One of the key mechanisms for control of autophagy is the modulation of the interaction between the autophagic protein Beclin 1 and the members of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family (e.g., Bcl-2, Bcl-XL and Mcl-1).
