Dynamin-independent CaV1.2 and KCa1.1 channels regulation and vascular tone modulation by the mitochondrial fission inhibitors dynasore and dyngo-4a

44 views | Jul 15 2023

The study raises caution regarding the use of dynasore, mdivi-1, and dyngo-4a as tools to investigate the role of mitochondrial fission in vascular contraction, emphasizing the need for a selective dynamin inhibitor and/or alternative experimental approaches. [Read the Full Post]

CD137 signaling aggravates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting mitophagy mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation

49 views | May 26 2023

CD137 signaling exacerbates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by suppressing mitophagy and promoting NLRP3 inflammasome activation via increased mitochondrial ROS generation. [Read the Full Post]

Inhibition of the PINK1-Parkin Pathway Enhances the Lethality of Sorafenib and Regorafenib in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

278 views | Apr 05 2022

Shun Zhang et al. found that PINK1-Parkin-mediated mitophagy alleviates sorafenib and regorafenib antitumor effected in vitro and in vivo. [Read the Full Post]

Glutamine deficiency promotes stemness and chemoresistance in tumor cells through DRP1-induced mitochondrial fragmentation

422 views | Apr 27 2021

Parash Prasad et al. suggested that glutamine deficiency in the core of tumors could increase the cancer stem cell population and the combination therapy with MDiVi-1 and L-DON was a useful approach to reduce CSCs population in tumor. [Read the Full Post]

Mdivi-1 Alleviates Early Brain Injury After Experimental Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Rats, Possibly via Inhibition of Drp1-Activated Mitochondrial Fission and Oxidative Stress

821 views | Apr 16 2018

Wu P et al. suggested that Mdivi-1 exerts neuroprotective effects against cell death induced by SAH and the underlying mechanism may be inhibition of Drp1-activated mitochondrial fission and oxidative stress. [Read the Full Post]

Polyphyllin I induces mitophagic and apoptotic cell death in human breast cancer cells by increasing mitochondrial PINK1 levels

786 views | Apr 15 2018

Li GB, et al. describe the mechanism by which PINK1 contributes to polyphyllin I-induced mitophagy and apoptosis and suggest that polyphyllin I may be an effective drug for breast cancer treatment. [Read the Full Post]
