Targeting REV-ERBα/BNIP3 axis attenuates pulmonary arterial hypertension by repressing mitophagy in mice [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsPulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a life-threatening metabolic disorder. Nuclear receptors REV-ERBα and REV-ERBβ are established regulators of circadian rhythm and metabolic homeostasis, however their roles in PAH remain unclear. Using Rev-erbα +/-

Autophagy/ Apoptosis Induced by Geraniol through HIF-1α/BNIP3/Beclin-1 Signaling Pathway in A549 CoCl2 Treated Cells [PDF]
Advanced Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2022 Purpose: During cancer growth, hypoxia occurs along with autophagy as an adaptive responseto overcome cellular stress. Geraniol (GE) is a natural isoprenoid known for its wide anticanceractivity and autophagy induction in the cancer cell.

Overexpression of BNIP3 in rat intervertebral disk cells triggers autophagy and apoptosis [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2022 Excessive apoptosis of intervertebral disk cells and intervertebral disk degeneration (IDD) is the prime cause of low back pain. B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and adenovirus E1B 19 kDa interacting protein 3 (BNIP3), a member of the Bcl-2 family, are involved

The proapoptotic protein BNIP3 interacts with VDAC to induce mitochondrial release of endonuclease G. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BNIP3 is a proapoptotic protein that induces cell death through a mitochondria-mediated pathway. We reported previously that mitochondrial localization of BNIP3 and translocation of EndoG from mitochondria to the nucleus are critical steps of the BNIP3 ...

The BH3 only Bcl-2 family member BNIP3 regulates cellular proliferation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The BH3-only family member BNIP3 has been described as either promoting cell survival or cell death. This depends upon the level of BNIP3 expression and its cellular localization. Increased BNIP3 expression under hypoxia contributes to cell death through
