Abstract

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is known to regulate autophagy in cancer cells. We explored whether oxidative stress-induced growth inhibitor 1 (OSGIN1) is involved in the regulation of autophagy by DHA in breast cancer cells and the possible mechanisms involved. DHA upregulated the levels of OSGIN1, LC3-II and SQSTM1/p62. By contrast, DHA dose-dependently decreased the levels of mTOR and p-mTORS2448 expression. Using GFP/RFP-LC3 fluorescence staining, we showed that cells treated with DHA showed a dose-dependent response in autophagic signals. OSGIN1 Overexpression mimicked DHA treatment in that LC3-II and GFP/RFP-LC3 signals as well as the expression of p-AMPKαT172 and p-RaptorS792 were significantly increased, whereas mTOR, p-mTORS2448, and p-ULK1S757 expression were decreased. With knockdown of OSGIN1 expression, these outcomes were reversed. Moreover, OSGIN1 overexpression transiently elevated the accumulation of OSGIN1 and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the mitochondrial fraction and subsequently increased p-AMPKαT172 and p-RaptorS792 expression. Upon pretreatment with Mito-TEMPO, a scavenger of mitochondrial ROS, these outcomes were reversed. Taken together, these results suggest that DHA can transiently elevate the generat...Continue Reading

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.

Autophagy Networks

Autophagy is a lysosomal pathway that involves degradation of proteins and functions in normal growth and pathological conditions, through a series of complex networks. The catabolic process involves delivery of proteins and organelles to the lysosome. Here is the latest research on autophagy networks.

Autophagy & Metabolism

Autophagy preserves the health of cells and tissues by replacing outdated and damaged cellular components with fresh ones. In starvation, it provides an internal source of nutrients for energy generation and, thus, survival. A powerful promoter of metabolic homeostasis at both the cellular and whole-animal level, autophagy prevents degenerative diseases. It does have a downside, however--cancer cells exploit it to survive in nutrient-poor tumors.
