It has been claimed that, under certain conditions, such a process may be associated with tumor progression. In this study, the autophagic activity was investigated in a series of 99 uveal melanomas after immunohistochemical staining for the autophagy-associated proteins MAP1LC3A and BECN1, most commonly known as LC3A and Beclin 1, respectively. These were assessed in parallel with the hypoxia-inducible factor 1a (HIF1A) and its downstream protein lactate dehydrogenase 5 (composed by five LDHA subunits). Increased autophagic reactivity, detected by MAP1LC3A or BECN1, was associated with intense pigmentation and tumor hypoxia. Uveal melanomas with extensive overexpression of BECN1 or those with underexpression of this protein were associated with the worst prognosis, but the former manifested metastases much earlier than the latter; only 58% of patients with extensive BECN1 overexpression were alive at 4 years, compared with 80% of patients with underexpressed patterns.

  • Autophagy Is a New Protective Mechanism Against the Cytotoxicity
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Autophagy is a new protective mechanism against the cytotoxicity of platinum nanoparticles in human Received: 14 November 2018 Accepted: 11 February 2019 trophoblasts Published: xx xx xxxx Akitoshi Nakashima1, Kazuma Higashisaka2,3, Tae Kusabiraki1, Aiko Aoki1, Akemi Ushijima1, Yosuke Ono1, Sayaka Tsuda1, Tomoko Shima1, Osamu Yoshino1,7, Kazuya Nagano2, Yasuo Yoshioka2,4,5, Yasuo Tsutsumi2,6 & Shigeru Saito1 Nanoparticles are widely used in commodities, and pregnant women are inevitably exposed to these particles. The placenta protects the growing fetus from foreign or toxic materials, and provides energy and oxygen. Here we report that autophagy, a cellular mechanism to maintain homeostasis, engulfs platinum nanoparticles (nPt) to reduce their cytotoxicity in trophoblasts. Autophagy was activated by nPt in extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cell lines, and EVT functions, such as invasion and vascular remodeling, and proliferation were inhibited by nPt. These inhibitory efects by nPt were augmented in autophagy-defcient cells. Regarding the dynamic state of nPt, analysis using ICP-MS demonstrated a higher accumulation of nPt in the autophagosome-rich than the cytoplasmic fraction in autophagy- normal cells. Meanwhile, there were more nPt in the nuclei of autophagy-defcient cells, resulting in greater DNA damage at a lower concentration of nPt. Thus, we found a new protective mechanism against the cytotoxicity of nPt in human trophoblasts. Pregnant women and developing fetuses are very susceptible to foreign toxins, including air pollutants, microbes, and nanoparticles1–3. Smaller nanoparticles made of silica, titanium dioxide, cobalt and chromium, gold, or silver cross the fetal-maternal barrier more readily than larger particles4–7.

  • Photodynamic Therapy Induces Autophagy-Mediated Cell Death In
    Song et al. Cell Death and Disease (2020) 11:938 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41419-020-03136-y Cell Death & Disease ARTICLE Open Access Photodynamic therapy induces autophagy- mediated cell death in human colorectal cancer cells via activation of the ROS/JNK signaling pathway Changfeng Song1,WenXu1,HongkunWu2,XiaotongWang1,QianyiGong1,ChangLiu2,JianwenLiu1 and Lin Zhou2 Abstract Evidence has shown that m-THPC and verteporfin (VP) are promising sensitizers in photodynamic therapy (PDT). In addition, autophagy can act as a tumor suppressor or a tumor promoter depending on the photosensitizer (PS) and the cancer cell type. However, the role of autophagy in m-THPC- and VP-mediated PDT in in vitro and in vivo models of human colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been reported. In this study, m-THPC-PDT or VP-PDT exhibited significant phototoxicity, inhibited proliferation, and induced the generation of large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in CRC cells. From immunoblotting, fluorescence image analysis, and transmission electron microscopy, we found extensive autophagic activation induced by ROS in cells. In addition, m-THPC-PDT or VP-PDT treatment significantly induced apoptosis in CRC cells. Interestingly, the inhibition of m-THPC-PDT-induced autophagy by knockdown of ATG5 or ATG7 substantially inhibited the apoptosis of CRC cells. Moreover, m-THPC- PDT treatment inhibited tumorigenesis of subcutaneous HCT116 xenografts. Meanwhile, antioxidant treatment 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; markedly inhibited autophagy and apoptosis induced by PDT in CRC cells by inactivating JNK signaling. In conclusion, inhibition of autophagy can remarkably alleviate PDT-mediated anticancer efficiency in CRC cells via inactivation of the ROS/JNK signaling pathway.

Thus, selective autophagic elimination of defective mitochondria may improve resistance to oxidative stress and potentially to inflammation.
