Abstract:
:Autophagy is a catabolic process that facilitates nutrient recycling via degradation of damaged organelles and proteins through lysosomal mediated degradation. Alterations in this complex, and tightly regulated process, lead to disease. Autophagy is widely accepted as cytoprotective against neurodegenerative diseases and a variety of clinical interventions are moving forward to increase autophagy as a therapeutic intervention. Autophagy has both positive and negative roles in cancer and this has led to controversy over whether or how autophagy manipulation should be attempted in cancer therapy. Nevertheless, cancer is the disease where most current activity in trying to manipulate autophagy for therapy is taking place and dozens of clinical trials are using autophagy inhibition with Chloroquine or Hydroxychloroquine in combination with other drugs for the treatment of multiple neoplasms. Here, we review recent literature implicating autophagy in neurodegenerative diseases and cancer and highlight some of the opportunities, controversies and potential pitfalls of therapeutically targeting autophagy.

EBioMedicine文献大全abstract:BACKGROUND:The composition of the bile acid (BA) pool is closely associated with obesity and is modified by gut microbiota. Perturbations of gut microbiota shape the BA composition, which, in turn, may alter important BA signaling and affect host metabolism. METHODS:We investigated BA composition of high BMI subjects ...
