In light of the steadily increasing incidence of diabetic nephropathy (DN), this review explores the potential of edible natural products to slow disease progression, addressing the limitations of conventional clinical drug therapies. Key findings show that ginsenosides, the active compounds in edible ginseng, regulate lipid autophagy, reducing ...

ABSTRACT Our previous study revealed the role of glycerol phosphate O‐acyltransferase (GNPAT) in regulating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, its further mechanisms remained unclear. In this study, COPD models were established by exposing mice to cigarette smoke particulates.

EPAS1/HIF-2α is a driver of mammalian pexophagy [PDF]
Oxygen (O2) is an essential substrate in cellular metabolism and signaling and as such is linked to the survival and normal function of metazoans. Central to the molecular mechanisms underlying O2 homeostasis are hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), heterodimeric transcription factors composed of O2-regulated α subunits (HIF1A/HIF-1α or EPAS1/HIF-2α), and

Nutrient deprivation triggers USP30 nuclear translocation via an N‐terminal nuclear localization signal (NLS), mediated through suppression of mTORC1‐dependent phosphorylation at serine 104, a modification constraining nuclear entry. Nuclear USP30 deubiquitinates TCF/LEF1 at K379 and K382 residues, disrupting recruitment of CBP/P300 co‐activators to ...

Quality Control Gone Wrong: Mitochondria, Lysosomal Storage Disorders and Neurodegeneration. [PDF]
The eukaryotic cell possesses specialized pathways to turnover and degrade redundant proteins and organelles. Each pathway is unique and responsible for degradation of distinctive cytosolic material.

Mammalian pexophagy at a glance
ABSTRACT Peroxisomes are highly plastic organelles that are involved in several metabolic processes, including fatty acid oxidation, ether lipid synthesis and redox homeostasis. Their abundance and activity are dynamically regulated in response to nutrient availability and cellular stress.

iLIR : a web resource for prediction of Atg8-family interacting proteins [PDF]
Macroautophagy was initially considered to be a nonselective process for bulk breakdown of cytosolic material. However, recent evidence points toward a selective mode of autophagy mediated by the so-called selective autophagy receptors (SARs).

ABSTRACT Autophagy is a highly conserved intracellular process involved in maintaining homeostasis and in the degradation of damaged organelles and external pathogens. Nature provides complex and varied reservoirs of scaffolds and chemical entities that may have a pivotal role in the search for new therapeutic leads.
