Acute systemic rapamycin induces neurobehavioral alterations in rats

Rapamycin is a drug with antiproliferative and immunosuppressive properties, widely used for prevention of acute graft rejection and cancer therapy. It specifically inhibits the activity of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a protein kinase known t ...

TGR5 reduces macrophage migration through mTOR-induced C/EBP beta differential translation

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Matthias Alexander Sokrates Stein, Mitsunori Nomura, Thijs Pols

The bile acid-responsive G protein-coupled receptor TGR5 is involved in several metabolic processes, and recent studies suggest that TGR5 activation may promote pathways that are protective against diet-induced diabetes. Here, we investigated the role of m ...

Enhanced activation of cellular AMPK by dual-small molecule treatment: AICAR and A769662

Kei Sakamoto, Maria Deak, Laurent Bultot

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key cellular energy sensor and regulator of metabolic homeostasis. Activation of AMPK provides beneficial outcomes in fighting against metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Currently, t ...

Involvement of autophagy in hypoxic-excitotoxic neuronal death

Nikita Rudinskiy

Neuronal autophagy is increased in numerous excitotoxic conditions including neonatal cerebral hypoxia-ischemia (HI). However, the role of this HI-induced autophagy remains unclear. To clarify this role we established an in vitro model of excitotoxicity co ...

Orphan nuclear receptor TR3 acts in autophagic cell death via mitochondrial signaling pathway

Yi Zhang, Friedrich Beermann, Jie Zhang, Yuan Liu, Qian Zhang, Li Li, Ang Li, Ping Chen, Bo Zhou, Rong Wu

Autophagy is linked to cell death, yet the associated mechanisms are largely undercharacterized. We discovered that melanoma, which is generally resistant to drug-induced apoptosis, can undergo autophagic cell death with the participation of orphan nuclear ...

A critical role of autophagy in antileukemia/lymphoma effects of APO866, an inhibitor of NAD biosynthesis

Pierre Vogel, Somi Reddy Majjigapu, Bernard Sordat

APO866, an inhibitor of NAD biosynthesis, exhibits potent antitumor properties in various malignancies. Recently, it has been shown that APO866 induces apoptosis and autophagy in human hematological cancer cells, but the role of autophagy in APO866-induced ...

MicroRNA-22 (miR-22) Overexpression Is Neuroprotective via General Anti-Apoptotic Effects and May also Target Specific Huntington's Disease-Related Mechanisms

Ana Jovicic

Background: Whereas many causes and mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases have been identified, very few therapeutic strategies have emerged in parallel. One possible explanation is that successful treatment strategy may require simultaneous targeting o ...

Temperature impacts human epidermal stem cell behaviour through thermoTRPs and mTOR signalling

Johannes Alexander Mosig

Adult stem cells are characterized by their unique ability to self-renew and give rise to a progeny of specialized/differentiated cells. Therefore, they have a remarkable potential for regenerative medicine. However, the use of adult stem cells is restrain ...

Autolysosomal β-catenin degradation regulates Wnt-autophagy-p62 crosstalk

Paloma Ordonez Moran

Abstract The Wnt/β-catenin signalling and autophagy pathways each play important roles during development, adult tissue homeostasis and tumorigenesis. Here we identify the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway as a negative regulator of both basal and stress-in ...

MAP Kinase Phosphatase 1 (MKP-1/DUSP1) Is Neuroprotective in Huntington's Disease via Additive Effects of JNK and p38 Inhibition

Darlene Goldstein, Meredith Dixon

We previously demonstrated that sodium butyrate is neuroprotective in Huntington's disease (HD) mice and that this therapeutic effect is associated with increased expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase/dual-specificity phosphatase 1 (MKP-1/DUSP1). ...
