Autophagy

Abstract

Autophagy is a process of bulk protein degradation and organelle turnover, and is a current therapeutic target in several diseases. The present study aimed to clarify the significance of myocardial autophagy of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Left ventricular endomyocardial biopsy was performed in 250 consecutive patients with DCM (54.9±13.9 years; male, 79%), initially presenting with decompensated heart failure (HF). The association of these findings with HF mortality or recurrence was examined. Myofilament changes, which are apparent in the degenerated cardiomyocytes of DCM, were recognized in 164 patients (66%), and autophagic vacuoles in cardiomyocytes were identified in or near the area of myofilament changes in 86 patients (34%). Morphometrically, fibrosis (odds ratio [OR], 0.96; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.93 to 0.99) and mitochondrial abnormality (OR, 2.24; 95% CI, 1.23 to 4.08) were independently related with autophagic vacuoles. During the follow-up period of 4.9±3.9 y, 24 patients (10%) died, including 10 (4%) who died of HF, and 67 (27%) were readmitted for HF recurrence. Multivariate analysis identified a family history of DCM (hazard ratio [HR], 2.117; 95% CI, 1.199 to 3.738), hemoglobin level (HR...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.

Autophagy & Aging: Inhibitors

The feed focuses on the role of nuclear export inhibitors and their effect on autophagy and the aging process.

Autophagy & Disease

Autophagy is an important cellular process for normal physiology and both elevated and decreased levels of autophagy are associated with disease. Here is the latest research.

Autophagosome

An autophagosome is the formation of double-membrane vesicles that involve numerous proteins and cytoplasmic components. These double-membrane vesicles are then terminated at the lysosome where they are degraded. Discover the latest research on autophagosomes here.
