Abstract

Lung cancer is a major public health problem worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 85% of lung cancer cases. Autophagy has recently sparked great interest, and it is thought to participate in a variety of diseases, including lung cancer. Uncoordinated (Unc) 51-like kinase 1 (Ulk1), a serine/threonine kinase, plays a central role in the autophagy pathway. However, the role of Ulk1 in NSCLC remains unclear. We report that NSCLC cell lines exhibited high expression of Ulk1 and that Ulk1 was negatively correlated with prognosis in lung cancer patients. Knockdown of Ulk1 or the inhibition of Ulk1 by the selective inhibitor SBI0206965, inhibited cell proliferation, induced cell apoptosis and enhanced the sensitivity of cisplatin against NSCLC cells. Moreover, we demonstrated that Ulk1 exerted oncogenic activity in NSCLC by modulating both autophagy and apoptosis pathways. Inhibition of autophagy by SBI0206965 sensitized NSCLC cells to cisplatin by inhibiting cisplatin induced cell-protective autophagy to promote apoptosis. Furthermore, SBI0206965 promoted apoptosis in NSCLC cells independent of autophagy, which was partly mediated by destabilization of Bcl2/Bclxl. In summary, our results show that inhibition of U...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms

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.
