DN200434 Inhibits Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation and Prevents Neointima Formation in Mice after Carotid Artery Ligation [PDF]

open access: yesEndocrinology and Metabolism, 2022
Background Excessive proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), which contributes to the development of occlusive vascular diseases, requires elevated mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to meet the increased requirements ...

TAK1-dependent autophagy: A suppressor of fatty liver disease and hepatic oncogenesis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In addition to regulating the activation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), TGF-β activated kinase 1 (TAK1) also upregulates the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and autophagy.

The anti-tubercular activity of simvastatin is mediated by cholesterol-driven autophagy via the AMPK-mTORC1-TFEB axis

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2020
The rise of drug-resistant tuberculosis poses a major risk to public health. Statins, which inhibit both cholesterol biosynthesis and protein prenylation branches of the mevalonate pathway, increase anti-tubercular antibiotic efficacy in animal models ...

Limited survival and impaired hepatic fasting metabolism in mice with constitutive Rag GTPase signaling

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) integrates nutrient and hormonal signals to control metabolism. Here the authors investigate the effects of constitutive nutrient signaling through genetic activation of RagA in adult mice and show ...

Acute Elevation of Renal Perfusion Pressure Activates Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 in Rats

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2021
We have recently reported that the chronic elevation of renal perfusion pressure (RPP) drives the infiltration of renal inflammatory cells in two models of hypertension, the Dahl salt‐sensitive (SS) rats fed a high‐salt diet and Sprague‐Dawley (SD) rats infused with Angiotensin II.

Cell-type-specific translational control of spatial working memory by the cap-binding protein 4EHP

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2023
The consolidation of learned information into long-lasting memories requires the strengthening of synaptic connections through de novo protein synthesis. Translation initiation factors play a cardinal role in gating the production of new proteins thereby

White spot syndrome virus directly activates mTORC1 signaling to facilitate its replication via polymeric immunoglobulin receptor-mediated infection in shrimp.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2022
Previous studies have shown that the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway has antiviral functions or is beneficial for viral replication, however, the detail mechanisms by which mTORC1 enhances viral infection remain ...
