Abstract:
:Autophagy plays a critical role in intracellular metabolism and maintaining cellular homeostasis. Certain tumor cells present a higher basal autophagy rate and autophagy inhibition can lead to impaired metabolic dysfunction in autophagy-dependent tumor cells. Autophagy status in immune cells dictates their fate and response to antigen; however, autophagy in immune cells may be beneficial or detrimental depending on the developmental stage of the cell and more specifically its degree of differentiation. Autophagy-deficient hosts present variations in many metabolites, proteins and enzymes that may have tumor-promoting or -inhibiting effects. The centrality of autophagy in the metabolism of some cancers and immune cells poses as a critical target whose mechanisms must be further unraveled to optimize patient response and prevent tumor recurrence.

CANCER LETTERS文献大全abstract::Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid, has a wide range of pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammation, yet the exact mechanism is unknown. Because cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) plays a key role in prostaglandins (PGs) synthesis, which is elevated in inflammation, we examined whether the anti-inflammatory mechanism ...
