Autophagy01:27

Autophagy

5.0K
Autophagy is a self-digesting process by which a cell protects itself from threats both within and outside the cell, ranging from abnormal proteins to invading bacteria. In this process, obsolete components of the cell and invading microbes are degraded by hydrolytic enzymes active in an acidic environment of the lysosomal lumen.
An autophagic pathway consists of a series of signaling events activated in response to diverse stress and physiological conditions such as food deprivation,...

Delivery Pathways to the Lysosome

7.6K
Eukaryotic cells use different mechanisms to eliminate toxic waste obsolete and worn-out substances. Lysosomes play a pivotal role in this, and hence, these substances are carried to the lysosome from other parts of the cell and extracellular space through different pathways. The most elaborately studied pathways to the lysosome are the endocytic pathways.
Endocytosis
In endocytosis, the cell membrane takes up macromolecules and particles from the surrounding medium. Clathrin-mediated...

Autophagic Cell Death01:18

Autophagic Cell Death

3.3K
Christian de Duve discovered “autophagy,” a process in which cellular components are engulfed by membrane-bound organelles called autophagosomes. The autophagosomes then fuse with lysosomes to digest the enclosed contents. Autophagy is generally activated in cells to prevent cell death. However, cell death is triggered when the damage is beyond repair.
Autophagy and Apoptosis
Autophagy can activate apoptosis. In normal conditions, the autophagy activating protein Beclin-1 and...

Cellular Injury V: Apoptosis and Autophagy

99
Cells respond to damage and stress through highly coordinated processes that decide whether they survive or undergo controlled self-destruction. Two major pathways involved in this regulation are apoptosis, a type of programmed cell death, and autophagy, a survival mechanism that helps cells adapt to adverse conditions.ApoptosisApoptosis removes aged or injured cells to maintain tissue balance. During this process, the cell shrinks, chromatin condenses and fragments, and membrane-bound...

Translocation of Proteins into the Mitochondria01:19

Translocation of Proteins into the Mitochondria

8.8K
Mitochondrial precursors are translocated to the internal subcompartments via independent mechanisms involving distinct protein machineries called translocases.
Sorting of outer membrane proteins:
Mitochondrial outer membrane proteins are of two types: the transmembrane, beta-barrel porins, and the membrane-anchored, alpha-helical proteins. Beta-barrel porin precursors are translocated by the TOM complex and inserted into the outer mitochondrial membrane by the SAM complex. In contrast,...

MicroRNAs01:22

MicroRNAs

3.0K
MicroRNA (miRNA) are short, regulatory RNA transcribed from introns (non-coding regions of a gene) or intergenic regions (stretches of DNA present between genes). Several processing steps are required to form biologically active, mature miRNA. The initial transcript, called primary miRNA (pri-mRNA), base-pairs with itself, forming a stem-loop structure. Within the nucleus, an endonuclease enzyme, called Drosha, shortens the stem-loop structure into hairpin-shaped pre-miRNA. After the pre-miRNA...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Cellular Biology

Background:

  • Autophagy is crucial for cardiomyocyte homeostasis, but its dysregulation contributes to heart failure.
  • Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion enhances autophagy, yet its precise molecular regulation remains unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the molecular mechanisms regulating autophagy in the heart, focusing on the roles of miR-325, ARC, and E2F1.
  • To investigate the impact of this regulatory axis on cardiac function and heart failure.

Main Methods:

  • Investigated miR-325 expression changes under anoxia/reoxygenation and ischemia/reperfusion.
  • Utilized cardiomyocyte-specific miR-325 overexpression and knockdown models.
  • Identified ARC as a direct target of miR-325.
  • Examined ARC transgenic and null mice in pressure-overload heart failure models.
  • Studied E2F1's role in regulating miR-325 expression using E2F1 null mice.

Main Results:

  • miR-325 expression increased with anoxia/reoxygenation and ischemia/reperfusion.
  • miR-325 overexpression exacerbated autophagic responses and infarct size, while knockdown reduced them.
  • ARC was confirmed as a miR-325 target; its suppression by miR-325 impaired autophagic repression.
  • ARC deficiency led to increased autophagic accumulation, whereas its overexpression attenuated autophagy and infarct size.
  • E2F1 promoted miR-325 expression; E2F1 deficiency reduced autophagy and infarct size.

Conclusions:

  • A novel regulatory axis comprising E2F1, miR-325, and ARC controls autophagy in cardiomyocytes.
  • This pathway plays a significant role in cardiac response to stress and heart failure.
  • Modulating E2F1, miR-325, or ARC levels presents a potential therapeutic strategy for cardiac failure.
