AB  - Introduction: Since the interaction between autophagy and virus-induced inflammation is complex,
we investigated the interplay between autophagy and inflammation in COVID-19 patients and THP-1
cells expressing SARS-Cov2 proteins NSP5 and ORF3a.
Methods: Autophagy markers in blood from 19 control subjects and 26 COVID-19 patients at hospital
admission and one week later were measured by ELISA, while cytokine levels were examined by flow cytometric bead immunoassay. The level of p62 in cells and its concentration in cell culture supernatants
was measured by immunoblot/ELISA. The mRNA levels of proinflammatory cytokines were measured
by RT-qPCR.
Results: IFN-α, TNF, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17, IL-33, and IFN-γ were elevated in COVID-19 patients at both time
points, whereasIL-10 and IL-1β were elevated at admission and one week later, respectively. Autophagy
markers LC3 and ATG5 were unchanged in COVID-19. The concentration of autophagic cargo receptor
p62 was significantly lower and positively correlated with TNF, IL-10, IL-17, and IL-33 at hospital admission, returning to normal levels after one week. The expression of SARS-CoV-2 proteins NSP5 or ORF3a
in THP-1 cells caused an autophagy-independent decrease/autophagy-inhibition-dependent increase
of intracellular and secreted p62. This was associated with an NSP5-mediated decrease inTNF/IL-10 mRNA
and an ORF3a-mediated increase inTNF/IL-1β/IL-6/IL-10/IL-33 mRNA levels. A genetic knockdown of p62
mimicked the immunosuppressive effect of NSP5, while a p62 increase in autophagy-deficient cells mirrored the immunostimulatory action of ORF3a.
Conclusion: The autophagy receptor p62 is reduced in acute COVID-19, and the balance between autophagy-independent decrease and autophagy blockade-dependent increase of p62 levels could affect
SARS-CoV-induced inflammation.

AB  - Introduction: Autophagy has been shown to participate in the differentiation of hematopoietic and
leukemic cells. We investigated the mechanisms of autophagy action in the differentiation induced by
PKC activator phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) in HL-60 acute myeloid leukemia cells.
Methods: The macrophage markers CD11b, CD13, CD14, CD45, EGR1, CSF1R, and IL-8 were assessed by
flow cytometry and RT-qPCR. Autophagy was monitored by RT-qPCR analysis of autophagy-related (ATG)
gene expression, LC3-II/p62 immunoblotting, beclin-1/Bcl-2 interaction, nuclear translocation of TFEB
and FOXO1/3. The activation of MAP kinases, ERK and JNK was assessed by immunoblotting. Pharmacological inhibition and RNA interference were used to determine the role of MAP kinases and autophagy
in HL60 cell differentiation.
Results: PMA-triggered differentiation of HL-60 cells into macrophage-like cells was confirmed by elevated expression of macrophage markers CD11b, CD13, CD14, CD45, EGR1, CSF1R, and IL-8. The induction of autophagy was demonstrated by accumulation/punctuation of LC3-II, and the increase in
autophagic flux. PMA also increased nuclear translocation of TFEB, FOXO1/3, as well asthe expression of
several ATG genesin HL-60 cells. PMA stimulated the phosphorylation of ERK and JNK via PKC-dependent
mechanism. Pharmacological or genetic inhibition of ERK or JNK suppressed PMA-triggered nuclear
translocation of TFEB and FOXO1/3, ATG expression, dissociation of beclin-1 from Bcl-2, autophagy induction, and differentiation of HL-60 cells into macrophage-like cells.
Conclusion: Our study revealed the involvement of ERK and JNK in TFEB/FOXO-dependent autophagy
and differentiation of HL60 cells, indicating MAP kinase-mediated autophagy as a possible target in differentiation therapy of AML.

AB  - Introduction: We examined the molecular mechanisms of graphene quantum dot (GQD)- mediated
protection of SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells from oxidative/nitrosative stress induced by iron-nitrosyl complex sodium nitroprusside (SNP).
Methods: GQD was produced by electrochemical oxidation of graphite and characterized by AFM, UVVIS and FTIR spectroscopy. The antioxidant activity of GQD in cell-free conditions was assessed by DPPH,
NBT and EPR analysis. The neuroprotective potential of GQD was determined by cell viability assays MTT,
CV. Flow cytometry was used to assess markers of apoptosis and GQD scavenging of intracellular
ROS/RNS as well. Cellular internalization of GQD was determined using TEM.
Results: GQD prevented SNP-induced apoptosis, caspase activation and mitochondrial depolarization
in neuroblastoma cells. Although GQD diminished the NO levelsin SNP-treated cells, NO scavengers displayed only a slight protection. GQD significantly protected SH-SY5Y cells from neurotoxicity of lightexhausted SNP, incapable of producing NO, implying that protective mechanism is independent of
NO-scavenging. GQD reduced SNP-triggered increase in intracellular levels of ROS, particularly •OH, O2•−
in cells and cell-free condition. Nonselective antioxidants, •OH scavengers and iron chelators, mimicked
GQD cytoprotection, indicating that GQD protect cells by neutralizing •OH generated in the Fenton reaction. Cellular GQD internalization wasrequired for optimal protection since the removal of extracellular GQD by extensive washing partly diminished their protective effect, suggesting that GQD exerted
neuroprotective effect intra- and extracellularly.
Conclusion: By demonstrating that GQD protect neuroblastoma cells from SNP-induced apoptosis by
•OH/NO scavenging, our results suggest that GQD could be valuable candidates for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases associated with oxidative/nitrosative stress.

AB  - Graphene-based nanomaterials (GNMs), including graphene, graphene oxide, reduced
graphene oxide, and graphene quantum dots, may have direct anticancer activity or be used as
nanocarriers for antitumor drugs. GNMs usually enter tumor cells by endocytosis and can accumu late in lysosomes. This accumulation prevents drugs bound to GNMs from reaching their targets,
suppressing their anticancer effects. A number of chemical modifications are made to GNMs to
facilitate the separation of anticancer drugs from GNMs at low lysosomal pH and to enable the
lysosomal escape of drugs. Lysosomal escape may be associated with oxidative stress, permeabi lization of the unstable membrane of cancer cell lysosomes, release of lysosomal enzymes into the
cytoplasm, and cell death. GNMs can prevent or stimulate tumor cell death by inducing protective
autophagy or suppressing autolysosomal degradation, respectively. Furthermore, because GNMs
prevent bound fluorescent agents from emitting light, their separation in lysosomes may enable
tumor cell identification and therapy monitoring. In this review, we explain how the characteristics
of the lysosomal microenvironment and the unique features of tumor cell lysosomes can be exploited
for GNM-based cancer therapy.

tumor cell identification and therapy monitoring. In this review, we explain how the characteristics
of the lysosomal microenvironment and the unique features of tumor cell lysosomes can be exploited
for GNM-based cancer therapy.",

AB  - As autophagy can promote or inhibit inflammation, we examined autophagy-inflammation interplay in COVID-19. Autophagy markers in the blood of 19 control subjects and 26 COVID-19 patients at hospital admission and one week later were measured by ELISA, while cytokine levels were examined by flow cytometric bead immunoassay. The antiviral IFN-α and proinflammatory TNF, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17, IL-33, and IFN-γ were elevated in COVID-19 patients at both time points, while IL-10 and IL-1β were increased at admission and one week later, respectively. Autophagy markers LC3 and ATG5 were unaltered in COVID-19. In contrast, the concentration of autophagic cargo receptor p62 was significantly lower and positively correlated with TNF, IL-10, IL-17, and IL-33 at hospital admission, returning to normal levels after one week. The expression of SARS-CoV-2 proteins NSP5 or ORF3a in THP-1 monocytes caused an autophagy-independent decrease or autophagy-inhibition-dependent increase, respectively, of intracellular/secreted p62, as confirmed by immunoblot/ELISA. This was associated with an NSP5-mediated decrease in TNF/IL-10 mRNA and an ORF3a-mediated increase in TNF/IL-1β/IL-6/IL-10/IL-33 mRNA levels. A genetic knockdown of p62 mimicked the immunosuppressive effect of NSP5, and a p62 increase in autophagy-deficient cells mirrored the immunostimulatory action of ORF3a. In conclusion, the proinflammatory autophagy receptor p62 is reduced inacute COVID-19, and the balance between autophagy-independent decrease and autophagy blockade-dependent increase of p62 levels could affect SARS-CoV-induced inflammation.

AB  - We investigated the mechanisms and the role of autophagy in the differentiation of HL-60 human acute myeloid leukemia cells induced by protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). PMA-triggered differentiation of HL-60 cells into macrophage-like cells was confirmed by cell-cycle arrest accompanied by elevated expression of macrophage markers CD11b, CD13, CD14, CD45, EGR1, CSF1R, and IL-8. The induction of autophagy was demonstrated by the increase in intracellular acidification, accumulation/punctuation of autophagosome marker LC3-II, and the increase in autophagic flux. PMA also increased nuclear translocation of autophagy transcription factors TFEB, FOXO1, and FOXO3, as well as the expression of several autophagy-related (ATG) genes in HL-60 cells. PMA failed to activate autophagy inducer AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and inhibit autophagy suppressor mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). On the other hand, it readily stimulated the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) via a protein kinase C-dependent mechanism. Pharmacological or genetic inhibition of ERK or JNK suppressed PMA-triggered nuclear translocation of TFEB and FOXO1/3, ATG expression, dissociation of pro-autophagic beclin-1 from its inhibitor BCL2, autophagy induction, and differentiation of HL-60 cells into macrophage-like cells. Pharmacological or genetic inhibition of autophagy also blocked PMA-induced macrophage differentiation of HL-60 cells. Therefore, MAP kinases ERK and JNK control PMA-induced macrophage differentiation of HL-60 leukemia cells through AMPK/mTORC1-independent, TFEB/FOXO-mediated transcriptional and beclin-1-dependent post-translational activation of autophagy.

AB  - There is no effective therapy for melanoma, a malignant tumor of melanocytes with an
increasing incidence. High energy demands of melanoma cells are predominantly satisfied by
aerobic glycolysis. When glycolysis is suppressed, these metabolically plastic cells switch to
oxidative phosphorylation. The aim of this study was to investigate the antimelanoma effects of
simultaneous inhibition of glycolysis by 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) and oxidative phosphorylation
by rotenone (ROT). 2DG synergized with ROT in inducing death of B16 melanoma, but not
primary mesenchymal cells. Combined treatment stimulated caspase activation, but not PARP
cleavage and DNA fragmentation. Disintegration of plasma membrane and inability of caspase
inhibitors and necrostatin to suppress toxicity of 2DG/ROT implied that combined treatment
induced necrosis, rather than apoptosis and necroptosis. 2DG/ROT stimulated ATP depletion,
mitochondrial superoxide production, and mitochondrial swelling, but not depolarization
of mitochondria. 2DG/ROT-induced toxicity was suppressed by antioxidant α-tocopherol,
but not mitochondrial depolarization inhibitor cyclosporine. Combined treatment induced
the translocation of hexokinase II, a suppressor of voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC)
opening, and cytochrome c from mitochondria in the cytoplasm, while VDAC opening inhibitor
DIDS suppressed 2DG/ROT toxicity. Our results suggest that 2DG/ROT treatment stimulates
mitochondrial swelling, release of hexokinase II and subsequent opening of VDAC in the outer
mitochondrial membrane. These events allow cytochrome c to exit and activate caspases, which
are unable to stimulate PARP and consequent DNA fragmentation in the energy-depleted state.
On the other hand, superoxide synthesized in mitochondria upon 2DG/ROT treatment also exits
through VDAC and triggers energy-independent necrosis. Simultaneous inhibition of glycolysis
and oxidative phosphorylation appears to be promising strategy for further development of
novel anticancer therapeutics.

AB  - Background: Intensive proliferation of tumor cells consumes a lot of energy. In nutrient deficiency 
substrates for energy metabolism are obtained by lysosomal degradation of unnecessary/dysfunctional 
intracellular organelles/molecules in the process of autophagy. Leakage of enlarged unstable lysosomes, 
which characterize tumor cells, causes cell death. We investigated antitumor effect of combined targeting 
of lysosomes/autophagy and energy metabolism. Material and Methods: Toxicity against U251 human 
glioma and B16 mouse melanoma cells was measured by viability tests. Type/mechanisms of cell death 
were determined by flow cytometry, immunoblot, fluorescent/electron microscopy and confirmed by 
appropriate genetic/pharmacological inhibitors. Therapeutic potential was estimated in B16 melanoma bearing C57Bl/6 mice. Results: In the first study, lysosomotropic autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (CQ) 
rapidly killed tumor cells incubated in the absence of serum. CQ-induced lysosomal destabilization 
triggered: oxidative stress, mitochondrial depolarization, and mixed apoptosis/necrosis of serum-deprived 
cells. In the second study, lysosomal detergent N-dodecylimidazole (NDI) synergized in antitumor activity 
with the glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG). NDI-triggered release of lysosomal enzymes into the 
cytoplasm caused mitochondrial damage and blocked oxidative phosphorylation, which synergized with 
2DG-mediated glycolysis block in ATP reduction, oxidative stress, and necrosis. Interestingly, although both 
serum deprivation and 2DG stimulated autophagy, CQ- and NDI-induced autophagy suppression was 
irrelevant for their cytotoxicity. Importantly, CQ+food restriction and 2DG+NDI reduced melanoma growth 
in vivo. Conclusion: Autophagy independent antitumor effects of combined energy metabolism suppression 
and lysosomal destabilization might be exploited in cancer therapy.

AB  - We investigated the effect of 3-methyladenine (3MA), a class III phosphatidylinositol 3-
kinase (PI3K)-blocking autophagy inhibitor, on the melanoma cell death induced by simultaneous
inhibition of glycolysis by 2-deoxyglucose (2DG) and mitochondrial respiration by rotenone. We
have elsewhere shown that 2DG/rotenone caused oxidative stress, ATP depletion, swelling
of mitochondria, ultimately leading to necrosis. Energy stress is known to induce autophagy,
a tightly regulated self-degradation process, which by recycling damaged organelles and
macromolecules provides building blocks and energy. However, 2DG/rotenone did not induce
proautophagic beclin-1 expression and autophagic flux in melanoma cells despite activation
of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and subsequent inhibition of mammalian target of
rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). 3MA, but not autophagy inhibition with other PI3K and lysosomal
inhibitors, attenuated 2DG/rotenone-induced mitochondrial damage, oxidative stress, ATP
depletion, and cell death. 3MA increased both AMPK and mTORC1 activation in energy stressed
cells, but neither AMPK nor mTORC1 inhibition reduced its cytoprotective effect. 3MA reduced
superoxide generation and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation, and both antioxidant and
JNK blockade mimicked its protective activity. Therefore, 3MA prevents energy stress-triggered
melanoma cell death through autophagy-independent decrease of oxidative stress and JNK
activation. Our results warrant caution in use of 3MA as an autophagy inhibitor.

AB  - We here investigated the ability of graphene quantum dots (GQD), graphene nanoparticles with antioxidative capacity, to protect SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells from oxidative/nitrosative stress induced by iron-nitrosyl complex sodium nitroprusside (SNP). Although GQD diminished the levels of nitric oxide (NO) in both cell free condition and SNPexposed cells, NO scavengers (PTIO and uric acid), displayed only slight protection from SNP, suggesting that NO scavenging was not the main protective mechanism of GQD. Moreover, GQD significantly protected SH-SY5Y cells from neurotoxicity of light exhausted SNP, incapable of producing NO, implying the existence of protective mechanism independent of NO-scavenging. GQD lowered the increase in the concentration of hydroxyl radical (•OH) and superoxide anion (O2•−) caused by SNP both in the cell-free condition and inside cells, as well as ensuing oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. Nonspecific antioxidants (glutathione, NAC), •OH scavenger (DMSO), and iron chelators (DTPA, BPDSA), but not superoxide dismutase, mimicked the cytoprotective activity of GQD, suggesting that GQD protect cells by neutralizing •OH generated in the presence of iron released from SNP. GQD were readily internalized by SH-SY5Y cells, while extensive washing of cells pre-incubated with GQD only partly reduced their protective activity, suggesting that GQD exerted neuroprotective effect both intra- and extracellularly. By demonstrating that GQD protect neuroblastoma cells from SNP-induced neurotoxicity by both extracellular •OH/NO scavenging and some unknown intracellular mechanism, our results suggest that GQD could be valuable candidate for treatment of neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory disorders associated with oxidative/nitrosative stress.

AB  - 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) and 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) are the most common neurotoxins used to induce experimental model of Parkinson’s disease both in vivo and in vitro. Neurotoxic action of 6-OHDA and MPP+
 is mediated by oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage and induction of apoptotic cell death. Natural disaccharide trehalose exhibits antioxidative properties and stimulates removal of damaged proteins, and thus exhibits powerful
neuroprotective effect in certain brain injury models. We investigated the effects of trehalose in 6-OHDA and MPP+
 - induced oxidative stress and neurotoxicity in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. The effects of trehalose on the cell viability and death were assessed by MTT, crystal violet, lactate dehydrogenase assay and AnnexinV-FITC/propidium iodide staining. The production of reactive oxygen species was analyzed by flow cytometry using redox-sensitive dyes dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR) and MitoSOX Red. Further, activation of stress-related MAP kinases, p38 and JNK were investigated by immunoblot analysis. Our study demonstrated that trehalose pretreatment significantly improved cell viability and reduced neurotoxic effect of 6-OHDA, while slightly decreased cell viability and increased neurotoxic effect of MPP+. Trehalose decreased the number of 6-OHDA-induced apoptotic cells (shown by the reduced % of Annexin V+ and AnnexinV+ PI+ cells) whereas it increased apoptosis in MPP+ treated cells. Flow
cytometric analysis of DHR and MitoSOX stained cells demonstrated that trehalose pretreatment significantly reduced 6-OHDA-triggered ROS and superoxide anion radical generation. However, in MPP+-treated neurons trehalose augmented oxidative stress and production of superoxide anion. Immunoblot analysis showed that trehalose significantly decreased p38 and JNK activation only in 6-OHDA treated cells. These results indicate that trehalose has different effects on oxidative stress induced by two different neurotoxins, 6-OHDA and MPP+, and suggests further
exploration of the mechanism of its antioxidative action.

AB  - We investigated the ability of graphene quantum dot (GQD) nanoparticles to protect SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells from oxidative/nitrosative stress induced by iron-nitrosyl complex sodium nitroprusside (SNP). GQD reduced SNP cytotoxicity by preventing mitochondrial depolarization, caspase-2 activation, and subsequent apoptotic death. Although GQD diminished the levels of nitric oxide (NO) in SNP-exposed cells, NO scavengers displayed only a slight protective effect, suggesting that NO quenching was not the main protective mechanism of GQD. GQD also reduced SNP-triggered increase in the intracellular levels of hydroxyl radical (•OH), superoxide anion (O2•-), and lipid peroxidation. Nonselective antioxidants, •OH scavenging, and iron chelators, but not superoxide dismutase, mimicked GQD cytoprotective activity, indicating that GQD protect cells by neutralizing •OH generated in the presence of SNP-released iron. Cellular internalization of GQD was required for optimal protection, since a removal of extracellular GQD by extensive washing only partly diminished their protective effect. Moreover, GQD cooperated with SNP to induce autophagy, as confirmed by the inhibition of autophagy-limiting Akt/PRAS40/mTOR signaling and increase in autophagy gene transcription, protein levels of proautophagic beclin-1 and LC3-II, formation of autophagic vesicles, and degradation of autophagic target p62. The antioxidant activity of GQD was not involved in autophagy induction, as antioxidants N-acetylcysteine and dimethyl sulfoxide failed to stimulate autophagy in SNP-exposed cells. Pharmacological inhibitors of early (wortmannin, 3-methyladenine) or late stages of autophagy (NH4Cl) efficiently reduced the protective effect of GQD. Therefore, the ability of GQD to prevent the in vitro neurotoxicity of SNP depends on both •OH/NO scavenging and induction of cytoprotective autophagy.

abstract = "We investigated the ability of graphene quantum dot (GQD) nanoparticles to protect SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells from oxidative/nitrosative stress induced by iron-nitrosyl complex sodium nitroprusside (SNP). GQD reduced SNP cytotoxicity by preventing mitochondrial depolarization, caspase-2 activation, and subsequent apoptotic death. Although GQD diminished the levels of nitric oxide (NO) in SNP-exposed cells, NO scavengers displayed only a slight protective effect, suggesting that NO quenching was not the main protective mechanism of GQD. GQD also reduced SNP-triggered increase in the intracellular levels of hydroxyl radical (•OH), superoxide anion (O2•-), and lipid peroxidation. Nonselective antioxidants, •OH scavenging, and iron chelators, but not superoxide dismutase, mimicked GQD cytoprotective activity, indicating that GQD protect cells by neutralizing •OH generated in the presence of SNP-released iron. Cellular internalization of GQD was required for optimal protection, since a removal of extracellular GQD by extensive washing only partly diminished their protective effect. Moreover, GQD cooperated with SNP to induce autophagy, as confirmed by the inhibition of autophagy-limiting Akt/PRAS40/mTOR signaling and increase in autophagy gene transcription, protein levels of proautophagic beclin-1 and LC3-II, formation of autophagic vesicles, and degradation of autophagic target p62. The antioxidant activity of GQD was not involved in autophagy induction, as antioxidants N-acetylcysteine and dimethyl sulfoxide failed to stimulate autophagy in SNP-exposed cells. Pharmacological inhibitors of early (wortmannin, 3-methyladenine) or late stages of autophagy (NH4Cl) efficiently reduced the protective effect of GQD. Therefore, the ability of GQD to prevent the in vitro neurotoxicity of SNP depends on both •OH/NO scavenging and induction of cytoprotective autophagy.",

AB  - We investigated the effect of 3-methyladenine (3MA), a class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-blocking autophagy inhibitor, on cancer cell death induced by simultaneous inhibition of glycolysis by 2-deoxyglucose (2DG) and mitochondrial respiration by rotenone. 2DG/rotenone reduced ATP levels and increased mitochondrial superoxide production, causing mitochondrial swelling and necrotic death in various cancer cell lines. 2DG/rotenone failed to increase proautophagic beclin-1 and autophagic flux in melanoma cells despite the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and inhibition of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). 3MA, but not autophagy inhibition with other PI3K and lysosomal inhibitors, attenuated 2DG/rotenone-induced mitochondrial damage, oxidative stress, ATP depletion, and cell death, while antioxidant treatment mimicked its protective action. The protection was not mediated by autophagy upregulation via class I PI3K/Akt inhibition, as it was preserved in cells with genetically inhibited autophagy. 3MA increased AMPK and mTORC1 activation in energy-stressed cells, but neither AMPK nor mTORC1 inhibition reduced its cytoprotective effect. 3MA reduced JNK activation, and JNK pharmacological/genetic suppression mimicked its mitochondria-preserving and cytoprotective activity. Therefore, 3MA prevents energy stress-triggered cancer cell death through autophagy-independent mechanisms possibly involving JNK suppression and decrease of oxidative stress. Our results warrant caution when using 3MA as an autophagy inhibitor.

AB  - Graphene-based nanomaterials (GNM) are plausible candidates for cancer therapeutics
and drug delivery systems. Pure graphene and graphene oxide nanoparticles, as well as graphene
quantum dots and graphene nanofibers, were all able to trigger autophagy in cancer cells through both
transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms involving oxidative/endoplasmic reticulum
stress, AMP-activated protein kinase, mechanistic target of rapamycin, mitogen-activated protein
kinase, and Toll-like receptor signaling. This was often coupled with lysosomal dysfunction and
subsequent blockade of autophagic flux, which additionally increased the accumulation of autophagy
mediators that participated in apoptotic, necrotic, or necroptotic death of cancer cells and influenced
the immune response against the tumor. In this review, we analyze molecular mechanisms and
structure–activity relationships of GNM-mediated autophagy modulation, its consequences for
cancer cell survival/death and anti-tumor immune response, and the possible implications for the

AB  - We analyzed the impact of mitochondrial damage in anticancer action of combining lysosomal
membrane permeabilization (LMP)-inducing agent N- dodecylimidazole (NDI)[1] with
glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) and in antipsychotic action of atypical antipsychotic
olanzapine.
NDI-triggered LMP and 2DG-mediated glycolysis block synergized in inducing ATP depletion,
mitochondrial damage and reactive oxygen species production, eventually leading to necrotic
death of U251 glioma cells but not primary astrocytes. NDI/2DG-induced death of glioma
cells was partly prevented by lysosomal cathepsin inhibitor E64 and antioxidant tocopherol, suggesting
the involvement of LMP and oxidative stress in the observed cytotoxicity. Moreover, the
combined oral administration of NDI and 2DG reduced in vivo melanoma growth in C57BL/6
mice by inducing necrotic death of tumor cells.
Based on these results, we propose that NDI-triggered LMPcauses initial mitochondrial damage
that is further increased by 2DG due to the lack of glycolytic ATP required to maintain mitochondrial
health. This leads to a positive feedback cycle of mitochondrial dysfunction, ATP loss,
and reactive oxygen species production, culminating in necrotic cell death.
We also investigated the role of autophagy, a controlled cellular self-digestion process, in regulating
survival of neurons exposed to olanzapine. Olanzapine induced autophagy in human
SH-SY5Y neuronal cell line, as confirmed by the increase in autophagic flux and presence of
autophagic vesicles, fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes, and increase in the expression
of autophagy-related (ATG) genes ATG4B, ATG5, andATG7. The production of reactive oxygen
species, but not modulation of the main autophagy repressor mTOR or its upstream regulators
AMP-activated protein kinase and AKT1, was responsible for olanzapine-triggered autophagy.
Olanzapine-mediated oxidative stress also induced mitochondrial depolarization and damage,
and the autophagic clearance of dysfunctional mitochondria [2] was confirmed by electron microscopy,
colocalization of autophagosome associated MAP1LC3B (LC3B) and mitochondria,
and mitochondrial association with the autophagic cargo receptor p62. While olanzapine-triggered
mitochondrial damage was not visibly toxic to SH-SY5Ycells, their death was readily initiated
upon the inhibition of autophagy with pharmacological inhibitors, RNA interference knockdown
of BECN1 and LC3B. The treatment of mice with olanzapine increased the brain levels of
LC3B-II and mRNA encoding Atg4b,Atg5, Atg7, Atg12, Gabarap, and Becn1.
These data indicate that olanzapine-triggered autophagy protects neurons from otherwise fatal
mitochondrial damage, and that inhibition of autophagy might unmask the neurotoxic action
of the drug.

AB  - During malignant transformation cells acquire changes in metabolism, signaling pathways as well as organelle content. The preferential use of aerobic glycolysis (Warburg effect), along with the increased number and volume of lysosomes can be viewed as glioma cells’ Achilles heels. In the present study, we aimed to examine the in vitro antiglioma effects of combining lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP)-inducing agent N-dodecylimidazole (NDI) with glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG).
NDI-triggered LMP and 2DG-mediated glycolysis block synergistically induced rapid ATP depletion, mitochondrial damage, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production causing necrotic cell death of U251 glioma cells, but not primary astrocytes. Lysosomal cathepsin inhibitor E64 and antioxidant α-tocopherol partially prevented NDI/2DG-induced glioma cell death, thus implying the involvement of LMP and oxidative stress in the observed cytotoxicity. Likewise, LMP-inducing agent chloroquine
showed synergistic cytotoxic effect with 2DG. Similarly, glucose deprivation as well as other glycolytic inhibitors, iodoacetate and sodium fluoride, synergistically cooperated with NDI, further corroborating that the observed antiglioma effect of the NDI/2DG combined treatment was indeed based on LMP and glycolysis block. Based on these results, we concluded that NDI-triggered LMP caused initial mitochondrial damage, which was further increased by 2DG causing the lack of glycolytic ATP
required to maintain mitochondrial health. This created a positive feedback loop of mitochondrial dysfunction, ATP loss, and ROS production, culminating in necrosis. Therefore, the combination of glycolysis inhibitors and LMP-inducing agents seems promising antiglioma strategy.

abstract = "During malignant transformation cells acquire changes in metabolism, signaling pathways as well as organelle content. The preferential use of aerobic glycolysis (Warburg effect), along with the increased number and volume of lysosomes can be viewed as glioma cells’ Achilles heels. In the present study, we aimed to examine the in vitro antiglioma effects of combining lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP)-inducing agent N-dodecylimidazole (NDI) with glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG).
NDI-triggered LMP and 2DG-mediated glycolysis block synergistically induced rapid ATP depletion, mitochondrial damage, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production causing necrotic cell death of U251 glioma cells, but not primary astrocytes. Lysosomal cathepsin inhibitor E64 and antioxidant α-tocopherol partially prevented NDI/2DG-induced glioma cell death, thus implying the involvement of LMP and oxidative stress in the observed cytotoxicity. Likewise, LMP-inducing agent chloroquine
showed synergistic cytotoxic effect with 2DG. Similarly, glucose deprivation as well as other glycolytic inhibitors, iodoacetate and sodium fluoride, synergistically cooperated with NDI, further corroborating that the observed antiglioma effect of the NDI/2DG combined treatment was indeed based on LMP and glycolysis block.

AB  - We investigated the role of the intracellular energy-sensing AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway in the in vitro antiglioma effect of the cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor indomethacin. Indomethacin was more potent than COX inhibitors diclofenac, naproxen, and ketoprofen in reducing the viability of U251 human glioma cells. Antiglioma effect of the drug was associated with p21 increase and G2M cell cycle arrest, as well as with oxidative stress, mitochondrial depolarization, caspase activation, and the induction of apoptosis. Indomethacin increased the phosphorylation of AMPK and its targets Raptor and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), and reduced the phosphorylation of mTOR and mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) substrates p70S6 kinase and PRAS40 (Ser183). AMPK knockdown by RNA interference, as well as the treatment with the mTORC1 activator leucine, prevented indomethacin-mediated mTORC1 inhibition and cytotoxic action, while AMPK activators metformin and AICAR mimicked the effects of the drug. AMPK activation by indomethacin correlated with intracellular ATP depletion and increase in AMP/ATP ratio, and was apparently independent of COX inhibition or the increase in intracellular calcium. Finally, the toxicity of indomethacin towards primary human glioma cells was associated with the activation of AMPK/Raptor/ACC and subsequent suppression of mTORC1/S6K. By demonstrating the involvement of AMPK/mTORC1 pathway in the antiglioma action of indomethacin, our results support its further exploration in glioma therapy.

partly prevented by lysosomal cathepsin inhibitor E64 and antioxidant α-tocopherol, indicating the involvement of LMP and oxidative stress in the observed cytotoxicity. LMP-inducing agents chloroquine and NH4Cl also displayed synergistic anticancer effect with 2DG, while glycolytic inhibitors iodoacetate and sodium fluoride synergistically cooperated with NDI, thus confirming that the anticancer effect of NDI/2DG combination was indeed due to LMP and glycolysis block, respectively. Based on these results, we propose that NDI-triggered LMP causes initial mitochondrial damage that is further increased by 2DG due to the lack of glycolytic ATP required to maintain mitochondrial health. This leads to a positive
feedback cycle of mitochondrial dysfunction, ATP loss, and ROS production, culminating in necrotic cell death. Therefore, the combination of LMP-inducing agents and glycolysis inhibitors seems worthy of further exploration as an anticancer strategy.

AB  - Macroautophagy (hereafter referred to as autophagy) is an evolutionary conserved catabolic process in which the cytoplasmic content is sequestered and degraded by the lysosomal machinery in order to maintain cellular homeostasis or provide energy during metabolic and hypoxic stress. It also represents an important component of the host response against infectious agents, performing surveillance and effector functions involved in detection and clearance of pathogens, including viruses. Moreover, it appears that autophagy plays a major role in determining the fate of both virally infected and uninfected cells by blocking or promoting their death in a virus- and cell-type-dependent manner. We here review the current knowledge on the complex involvement of autophagy in survival and death of the host cells during viral infection, focusing on the molecular mechanisms underlying viral modulation of autophagic response and its interference with the cell death pathways. We also discuss a possible significance of the autophagy-dependent modulation of cell death for the outcome and therapy of viral infections, emphasizing the need for a time- and cell-type-dependent fine-tuning of the autophagic response in achieving an optimal balance between beneficial and adverse effects.

We also discuss a possible significance of the autophagy-dependent modulation of cell death for the outcome and therapy of viral infections, emphasizing the need for a time- and cell-type-dependent fine-tuning of the autophagic response in achieving an optimal balance between beneficial and adverse effects.",

AB  - We investigated the role of autophagy, a stress-inducible lysosomal self-digestion of cellular components, in modulation of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)-triggered death of U251 human glioma cells. HSV-1 caused apoptotic death in U251 cells, characterized by phosphatidylserine externalization, caspase activation and DNA fragmentation. HSV-1-induced apoptosis was associated with the induction of autophagic response, as confirmed by the conversion of cytosolic LC3-I to autophagosome-associated LC3-II, increase in intracellular acidification, presence of autophagic vesicles, and increase in proteolysis of the selective autophagic target p62. HSV-1-triggered autophagy was not associated with the significant increase in the expression of proautophagic protein beclin-1 or downregulation of the major autophagy suppressor mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Moreover, the phosphorylation of mTOR and its direct substrate p70 S6 kinase was augmented by HSV-1 infection, while the mTOR stimulator Akt and inhibitor AMPK-activated protein kinase (AMPK) were accordingly activated and suppressed, respectively. An shRNA-mediated knockdown of the autophagy-essential LC3b, as well as pharmacological inhibition of autophagy with bafilomycin A1 or 3-methyladenine, markedly accelerated apoptotic changes and ensuing cell death in HSV-1-infected glioma cells. These data indicate that AMPK/Akt/mTOR-independent autophagy could prolong survival of HSV-1-infected U251 glioma cells by counteracting the coinciding apoptotic response.

AB  - The role of the main intracellular energy sensor adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in the induction of autophagic response and cell death was investigated in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells exposed to the dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). The induction of autophagy in SH-SY5Y cells was demonstrated by acridine orange staining of intracellular acidic vesicles, the presence of autophagosome- and autophagolysosome-like vesicles confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, as well as by microtubule-associated protein 1 light-chain 3 (LC3) conversion and p62 degradation detected by immunoblotting. 6-OHDA induced phosphorylation of AMPK and its target Raptor, followed by the dephosphorylation of the major autophagy inhibitor mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and its substrate p70S6 kinase (S6K). 6-OHDA treatment failed to suppress mTOR/S6K phosphorylation and to increase LC3 conversion, p62 degradation and cytoplasmatic acidification in neuroblastoma cells in which AMPK expression was downregulated by RNA interference. Transfection of SH-SY5Y cells with AMPK or LC3β shRNA, as well as treatment with pharmacological autophagy inhibitors suppressed, while mTOR inhibitor rapamycin potentiated 6-OHDA-induced oxidative stress and apoptotic cell death. 6-OHDA induced phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in an AMPK-dependent manner, and pharmacological inhibition of p38 MAP kinase reduced neurotoxicity, but not AMPK activation and autophagy triggered by 6-OHDA. Finally, the antioxidant N-acetyl cysteine antagonized 6-OHDA-induced activation of AMPK, p38 and autophagy. These data suggest that oxidative stress-mediated AMPK/mTOR-dependent autophagy and AMPK/p38-dependent apoptosis could be valid therapeutic targets for neuroprotection.
