    Abstract:
    Abstract Background Somatic mutations of the TP53 gene occur frequently in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). Solute carrier family 45 member A4 (SLC45A4) is a H + ‐dependent sugar cotransporter. The role of SLC45A4 in PDA, especially in TP53 mutant PDA, remains poorly understood. Methods We explored the TCGA datasets to identify oncogenes in TP53 mutant PDA. MTS [3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐5‐(3‐carboxymethoxyphenyl)‐2‐(4‐sulfophenyl)‐2H‐tetrazolium], colony formation and 5‐ethynyl‐2′‐deoxyuridine (Edu) assays were performed to investigate the function of SLC45A4 in vitro . Glucose consumption, lactate production and ATP production were detected to evaluate glucose utilization. Extracellular acidification rate and oxygen consumption rate assays were used to evaluate glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. The subcutaneous xenotransplantation models were conducted to explore the function of SLC45A4 in vivo . RNA‐sequencing and gene set enrichment analysis were employed to explore the biological alteration caused by SLC45A4 knockdown. Western blotting was performed to evaluate the activation of glycolysis, as well as the AMPK pathway and autophagy. Results SLC45A4 was overexpressed in PDA for which the expression was significantly higher in TP53 mutant PDA than that in wild‐type PDA tissues. Moreover, high level of SLC45A4 expression was tightly associated with poor clinical outcomes in PDA patients. Silencing SLC45A4 inhibited proliferation in TP53 mutant PDA cells. Knockdown of SLC45A4 reduced glucose uptake and ATP production, which led to activation of autophagy via AMPK/ULK1 pathway. Deleting SLC45A4 in TP53 mutant HPAF‐II cells inhibited the growth of xenografts in nude mice. Conclusions The present study found that SLC45A4 prevents autophagy via AMPK/ULK1 axis in TP53 mutant PDA, which may be a promising biomarker and therapeutic target in TP53 mutant PDA.
    Considerable attention has been paid to the topic of autophagy induction. In part, this is because of the potential for modulating this process for therapeutic purposes. Of course we know that induced autophagy can also be problematic--for example, when trying to eliminate an established tumor that might be relying on autophagy for its own cytoprotective uses. Accordingly, inhibitory mechanisms have been considered; however, the corresponding studies have tended to focus on the pathways that block autophagy under non-inducing conditions, such as when nutrients are available. In contrast, relatively little is known about the mechanisms for inhibiting autophagy under inducing conditions. Yet, this type of regulation must be occurring on a routine basis. We know that dysregulation of autophagy, e.g., due to improper activation of Beclin 1 leading to excessive autophagy activity, can cause cell death. Accordingly, we assume that during starvation or other inducing conditions there must be a mechanism to modulate autophagy. That is, once you turn it on, you do not want to let it continue unchecked. But how is autophagy downregulated when the inducing conditions still exist?

    Excessive light exposure can potentially cause irreversible damage to the various photoreceptor cells, and this aspect has been considered as an important factor leading to the progression of the different retinal diseases. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) are crucial intracellular signaling hubs involved in the regulation of cellular metabolism, energy homeostasis, cellular growth and autophagy. A number of previous studies have indicated that either AMPK activation or mTOR inhibition can promote autophagy in most cases. In the current study, we have established an in vitro as well as in vivo photooxidation-damaged photoreceptor model and investigated the possible influence of visible light exposure in the AMPK/mTOR/autophagy signaling pathway. We have also explored the potential regulatory effects of AMPK/mTOR on light-induced autophagy and protection achieved by suppressing autophagy in photooxidation-damaged photoreceptors. We observed that light exposure led to a significant activation of mTOR and autophagy in the photoreceptor cells. However, intriguingly, AMPK activation or mTOR inhibition significantly inhibited rather than promoting autophagy, which was termed as AMPK-dependent inhibition of autophagy. In addition, either indirectly suppressing autophagy by AMPK activation/ mTOR inhibition or directly blocking autophagy with an inhibitor exerted a significant protective effect on the photoreceptor cells against the photooxidative damage. Neuroprotective effects caused by the AMPK-dependent inhibition of autophagy were also verified with a retinal light injured mouse model in vivo. Overall, our findings demonstrated that AMPK / mTOR pathway could inhibit autophagy through AMPK-dependent inhibition of autophagy to significantly protect the photoreceptors from photooxidative injury, which may aid to further develop novel targeted retinal neuroprotective drugs.

    Small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules achieve sequence- specific gene silencing through a process known as RNA interference (RNAi). Compared to other nucleic acid-based therapeutics aimed at post-transcriptional gene silencing, such as antisense oligodeoxynucleotides, siRNA molecules achieve greater magnitude and duration of gene silencing at significantly lower doses. While the duration of gene knockdown by siRNA typically lasts around 1 week in rapidly dividing cells, recent reports of knockdown lasting for several weeks in nondividing cells indicate that dilution due to cell division may be a limiting factor in rapidly dividing cells. To determine if cell division directly impacts the duration of gene knockdown by siRNA, we chose to investigate the kinetics of siRNA-mediated gene silencing in luciferase-expressing cell lines with different observed doubling times using noninvasive bioluminescent imaging and a mathematical model of siRNA delivery and function. In vitro and in vivo, the duration of gene knockdown is inversely proportional to the rate of cell division. Consistent with previous reports, luciferase protein levels recover to pre-treatment values within less than 1 week in rapidly dividing cell lines, but take longer than 3 weeks to return to steady-state levels in nondividing fibroblasts. Similar results are observed in vivo, with knockdown lasting around 1 week in subcutaneous tumors in A/J mice and 3-4 weeks in the nondividing hepatocytes of BALB/c mice. These data indicate that dilution due to cell division, and not intracellular siRNA half-life, governs the duration of gene silencing under these conditions. Here, we will present our latest results describing the effects of cell doubling time, siRNA stability, and dosing schedule on siRNA- mediated gene silencing. Specifically, we will investigate whether the duration of knockdown using chemically modified siRNA molecules exhibits a similar dependence on cell doubling time. The implications of these findings will be highlighted using model calculations to determine the dosing schedule required to maintain persistent silencing of target proteins and to predict when maximum mRNA or protein knockdown will occur, an especially important factor when trying to observe a therapeutic effect resulting from protein knockdown. The approach of bioluminescent imaging combined with mathematical modeling provides insights into siRNA function that will hopefully be of practical use for both researchers and clinicians alike.

    Autophagy is a highly conserved cell degradation process which can decompose the organelles and recycling the macromolecules by lysosomes. Autophagy is induced by multiple factors, such as starvation, ischemia, and oxidative stress, and plays a key role in development and differentiation of cells. It has been shown that autophagy is closely related to cardiovascular diseases. Moderate autophagy protects myocardial cells from injury, whereas insufficient or excessive autophagy triggers or aggravates diseases. The present article reviews the progress of autophagy in cardiovascular diseases.
