Role of listeriolysin O and phospholipases C in L. monocytogenes intercellular protrusion dynamics, resolution, and autophagy avoidance.

Cell-to-cell spread is a major mechanism used by the bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes to disseminate within its host. In this mechanism, bacteria are directly transferred from the cytosol of an infected donor cell to a recipient cell via formation of an intercellular protrusion. The intercellular protrusion resolves into a vacuole that is disrupted by L. monocytogenes to reach the cytosol of the recipient cell, where it divides and starts new cell-to-cell spread cycles. Here, we studied the spatiotemporal dynamics of the donor and recipient host cell plasma membranes during intercellu

CXCL13 Повреждает позвоночник крови, поощряя RNF6/Sqstm1-Ubictiination.

Повреждение позвоночника крови (BSCB) приводит к нарушению иммунной микроокружающей среды в центральной нервной системе во время развития множественного склероза (MS) и экспериментального аллергического энцефаломиэлита (EAE). Тем не менее основные механизмы, связанные с повреждением барьера, по-прежнему недостаточно изучены. Здесь, анализируя белковые профили в периферической сыворотке крови, хемокин (C-X-C motif) Ligand 13 (CXCL13) был определен как возрастающий по мере развития MS и EAE. Отсутствие CXCL13 привело к снижению симптомов EAE, о чем свидетельствует сокращение числа клинических оц

Placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells protect against diabetic kidney disease by upregulating autophagy-mediated SIRT1/FOXO1 pathway.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a common chronic microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus. Although studies have indicated the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for DKD, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Herein, we explored the renoprotective effect of placenta-derived MSCs (P-MSCs) and the potential mechanism of SIRT1/FOXO1 pathway-mediated autophagy in DKD. The urine microalbumin/creatinine ratio was determined using ELISA, and renal pathological changes were detected by special staining techniques. Immunofluorescence was used for detecting the …

Tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate induces cytotoxicity in TM3 Leydig cells by modulating autophagy and endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Tris (2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (TEHP) is a frequently used organophosphorus flame retardant with significant ecotoxicity and widespread human exposure. Recent research indicates that TEHP has reproductive toxicity. However, the precise cell mechanism is not enough understood. Here, by using testicular mesenchymal stromal TM3 cells as a model, we reveal that TEHP induces apoptosis. Then RNA sequencing analysis, immunofluorescence, and western blotting results show that THEP inhibits autophagy flux and enhances endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Moreover, the activation of the ER stress is critic…

mTOR inhibition by AZD2014 alleviates BCR::ABL1 independent imatinib resistance through enhancing autophagy in CML resistant cells.

AZD2014 exerted its anti-leukemia effect through enhancing autophagy. mTOR signal pathway is poorly inhibited by imatinib and AZD2014 shows little effect on BCR::ABL1 signal pathway, which indicates that mTOR is involved in imatinib resistance via a BCR::ABL1 independent manner. Taken together, mTOR represents a pote …

Perilipin 2 inhibits replication of hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid by regulating autophagy under high-fat conditions.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection poses a global health concern without a definitive cure; however, antiviral medications can effectively suppress viral replication. This study delves into the intricate interplay between lipid metabolism and HBV replication, implicating molecular mechanisms such as the stearoyl coenzyme A desaturase 1 autophagy pathway, SAC1-like phosphatidylinositol phosphatase, and galectin-9 mediated selective autophagy of viral core proteins in regulating HBV replication. Within lipid droplets, perilipin 2 (PLIN2) emerges as a pivotal guardian, with its overexpression prot…

High glucose condition aggravates inflammatory response induced by Porphyromonas gingivalis in THP-1 macrophages via autophagy inhibition.

BACKGROUND: Porphyromonase gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is a type of bacteria that causes periodontitis, which is strongly correlated with systemic diseases such as diabetes. However, the effect of hyperglycemia on periodontitis are unclear. The present study examined the effects of high glucose levels on the response to P. gingivalis infection. RESULTS: The expression of P. gingivalis-induced interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and inflammasomes increased as the glucose concentration increased. High glucose conditions suppressed P. gingivalis-induced autophagy in human acute monocytic leukemia cell line (T…

IRGM/Irgm1 increases autophagy to inhibit activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in inflammatory injury induced acute liver failure.

Immune-related GTPase M (IRGM) induces autophagy and suppresses inflammation, but its putative role and signaling mechanism remain undefined in the pathogenesis of liver failure. This study aimed to address how IRGM attenuates inflammatory injury by regulating autophagy in liver failure. In this study, a total of 10 patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) and 10 healthy controls were prospectively enrolled. Intrahepatic expression of IRGM/Irgm1, NLRP3 inflammasome (NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1), autophagy-related proteins (LC3II, P62), and inflammatory cy…

Autophagy regulates bone loss via the RANKL/RANK/OPG axis in an experimental rat apical periodontitis model.

AIM: Autophagy is involved in human apical periodontitis (AP). However, it is not clear whether autophagy is protective or destructive in bone loss via the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)/RANK/osteoprotegerin (OPG) axis. This study aimed to investigate the involvement of autophagy via the RANKL/RANK/OPG axis during the development of AP in an experimental rat model. METHODOLOGY: Twenty-four female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control, experimental AP (EAP) + saline, and EAP + 3-methyladenine (An autophagy inhibitor, 3-MA) groups. The control group did not recei…

Numerous studies have shown that autophagy plays a crucial role in protecting brain tissue during the I/R process and is emerging as a promising therapeutic strategy for effective treatment. In this study, we investigated whether Rg1 protected against I/R damage in vitro and in vivo by regul …

Upregulated DNMT3a coupling with inhibiting p62-dependent autophagy contributes to NNK tumorigenicity in human bronchial epithelial cells.

NNK, formally known as 4-(methyl nitrosamine)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanoe, is a potent chemical carcinogen prevalent in cigarette smoke and is a key contributor to the development of human lung adenocarcinomas. On the other hand, autophagy plays a complex role in cancer development, acting as a "double-edged sword" whose impact varies depending on the cancer type and stage. Despite this, the relationship between autophagy and NNK-induced lung carcinogenesis remains largely unexplored. Our current study uncovers a marked reduction in p62 protein expression in both lung adenocarcinomas and lung tiss…

BACKGROUND: Triolein, a symmetric triglyceride exhibiting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, has demonstrated potential in mitigating cellular damage. However, its therapeutic efficacy in ischemic stroke (IS) and underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Given the critical roles of inflammation and autophagy in IS pathogenesis, this study aimed to elucidate the effects of triolein in IS and investigate its mechanism of action.

Quercetin Ameliorates Myocardial Injury in Diabetic Rats by Regulating Autophagy and Apoptosis through AMPK/mTOR Signaling Pathway.

A high-glucose environment is involved in the progression of diabetes mellitus (DM). This study aims to explore the regulatory effects of quercetin (QUE) on autophagy and apoptosis after myocardial injury in rats with DM. The type 2 DM rat models were constructed using low-dose streptozotocin (STZ) treatment combined with a high-carbohydrate (HC) diet in vivo. Compared with the control group, the body weight was decreased, whereas blood pressure, blood glucose, and the LVW/BW ratio were increased in the diabetic group. The results showed that the myocardial fibers were disordered in the diabet…
