Abstract Background Autophagy is a dynamic process during which isolation membranes package substrates to form autophagosomes that are fused with lysosomes autolysosomes for degradation. Although it agreed the LC3II-associated mature move along microtubular tracks, still in dispute if conversion of LC3I LC3II before fully and subsequent fusion require microtubules. Results We use biochemical markers autophagy collection microtubule interfering reagents test question. show interruption...
Abstract Liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have worldwide impact but continue to lack safe, low cost, effective treatments. In this study, we show how the simple polyamine spermidine can relieve cancer cell defects in autophagy, which trigger oxidative stress–induced death promote liver HCC. We found that autophagic marker protein LC3 interacted with microtubule-associated MAP1S, positively regulated autophagy flux cells. MAP1S stability was turn by its interaction histone...

Spermidine (SPD), a naturally occurring polyamine, has been recognized as caloric restriction mimetic that confers health benefits, presumably by inducing autophagy. Recent studies have reported oral administration of SPD protects against liver fibrosis and hepatocarcinogenesis through activation microtubule associated protein 1S (MAP1S)-mediated Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NRF2) is transcription mediates cellular protection maintaining the cell's redox, metabolic,...
The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling axis plays important roles in heart development. Yet, the molecular mechanism by which FGF regulates cardiogenesis is not fully understood. Using genetically engineered mouse and vitro cultured embryoid body (EB) models, we demonstrate that suppresses premature differentiation of progenitor cells, as well autophagy outflow tract (OFT) myocardiac cells. also promotes mesoderm embryonic stem cells (ESCs) but inhibits cardiomyocyte at later stages....
The mitochondrion-associated protein LRPPRC (leucine-rich pentatricopeptide repeat-containing) interacts with one of the microtubule-associated family members MAP1S (microtubule-associated 1 small form), originally named C19ORF5 (chromosome 19 open reading frame 5), to form a complex. LC3 (light chain 3), mammalian homologue yeast autophagy marker ATG8 and most important markers in cells, helps attachment autophagosomes microtubules for trafficking recruitment substrate mitochondria into...
Abstract Dysfunctional autophagy is associated with tumorigenesis; however, the relationship between two processes remains unclear. In present study, we showed that MAP1S levels immediately become elevated in response to diethylnitrosamine-induced or genome instability-driven metabolic stress a murine model of hepatocarcinoma. Upregulation enhanced remove aggresomes and dysfunctional organelles trigger DNA double-strand breaks instability. The early accumulation an unstable before signs...
MAP1S (originally named C19ORF5) is a widely distributed homolog of neuronal‐specific MAP1A and MAP1B, bridges autophagic components with microtubules mitochondria to affect autophagosomal biogenesis degradation. Mitochondrion‐associated protein LRPPRC functions as an inhibitor for autophagy initiation protect from interact each other may collaboratively regulate although the underlying mechanism yet unknown. Previously, we have reported that levels serve prognosis marker patients prostate...
BACKGROUND Autophagy has recently been found to play important roles in tumorigenesis and leucine‐rich pentatricopeptide repeat motif‐containing protein (LRPPRC) identified as an inhibitor that suppresses autophagy mitophagy maintains mitochondrial activity. The authors hypothesized LRPPRC levels can be used a biomarker for the diagnosis prognosis of prostate cancer. METHODS Immunochemistry analysis was performed evaluate 112 samples collected from patients with adenocarcinoma (PCa) 38...

Autophagy plays an important role in tumorigenesis. Mitochondrion-associated protein LRPPRC interacts with MAP1S that LC3 and bridges autophagy components microtubules mitochondria to affect flux. Dysfunction of is associated poor survival ovarian cancer patients. Furthermore, elevated levels predict shorter overall patients prostate adenocarcinomas or gastric cancer. To understand the tumor development, previously we reported forms a ternary complex Beclin 1 Bcl-2 inhibit autophagy. Here...
Background P62 (also named sequestosome-1, SQSTM1) is involved in autophagy regulation through multiple pathways. It interacts with autophagosomes-associated LC3-II and ubiquitinated protein aggregates to engulf the autophagosomes, HDAC6 inhibit its deacetylase activity maintain levels of acetylated α-tubulin stabilities microtubules enhance autophagosome trafficking, regulates initiation cell survival. We performed immunohistochemistry staining prostate tissues from cancer patients found...
Matrine is an alkaloid from Sophora flavescens that exhibits multiple protective effects on cancers. However, the molecular mechanisms of anti-metastatic matrine castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) remain unknown. This study investigated CRPC to identify underlying mechanisms. The cell viability DU145 and PC-3 cells were measured using MTS assay. impact expression levels matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, MMP-2, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) subunit p65 phosphorylated in untreated or...

It has been demonstrated to exhibit antiproliferative properties, promote apoptosis, and inhibit cell invasion in number of cancer lines by modulating NF‐κB pathway downregulate expression MMP2 MM9. also shown improve efficacy chemotherapy when it combined with other drugs. However, therapeutic potential matrine for prostate needs be further studied. Methods We analyzed KEGG pathways...
Abstract Isoform-specific epigenetic silencing of RASSF1A (3p21.3) by promoter-specific CpG island hypermethylation occurs at high frequency in human tumors, whereas the closely related product same gene, RASSF1C, continues to be expressed. Both isoforms isolation exhibit tumor suppressor properties and we show here similar cellular locations on mitochondria microtubules, paclitaxel-like microtubule hyperstabilization, disruption mitosis, interaction with C19ORF5. We both have identical but...
From microscopic observations of autophagosome content it has been argued that autophagy is shut down during mitosis to protect the relative short-lived organelles spindle and chromosomes from process while they are contiguous with cytosol. However, without autophagy, buildup dysfunctional mitochondria arising intense energy demands potentially poses a hazard accurate partition chromosomes. Here we show using biochemical markers autophagosomes mitophagosomes blockade at lysosomal clearance...
