The immune response attenuates growth and nutrient storage in Drosophila by reducing insulin signaling.
Innate immunity is the primary and most ancient defense against infection. Although critical to survival, coordinating protection against a foreign organism is energetically costly, creating the need to reallocate substrates from nonessential functions, such as growth and nutrient storage. However, the mechanism by which infection or inflammation leads to a reduction in energy utilization by th...
متن کاملNutrient and growth hormone signaling are master regulators of autophagy
Introduction One hallmark of aging is the accumulation of various forms of molecular damage, embodied in malfunctioning organelles, defective enzymes, proteinaceous aggregates, or DNA mutations (1). At the same time, the incidence of chronic diseases such as neurodegeneration, type II diabetes, or cancer rises with age concomitantly with accumulating cellular damage. Therefore, one of the main ...
متن کاملBlack ginseng activates Akt signaling, thereby enhancing myoblast differentiation and myotube growth
Background Black ginseng (BG) has greatly enhanced pharmacological activities relative to white or red ginseng. However, the effect and molecular mechanism of BG on muscle growth has not yet been examined. In this study, we investigated whether BG could regulate myoblast differentiation and myotube hypertrophy. Methods BG-treated C2C12 myoblasts were differentiated, followed by immunoblotting...
متن کاملTrahalose Activates Autophagy and Prevents Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Apoptosis in the Bone Marrow Stromal Cells
Bone marrow stromal stem cells (BMSCs) play a significant role in cell therapy. These cells quickly die after transplantation to the affected area due to oxidative stress. The natural disaccharide, trehalose which can be known as autophagy inducer. The present study aimed to investigate the role of trehalose in preventing BMSCs from oxidative stress caused by H2O2. BMSCs were isolated from the ...
متن کاملInduction of antiviral factors by IFN-α 2a is time and dose dependent
Background and Aims: Interferon alpha is an effective cytokine in viral infections, where it has various roles in immune function. The use of this antiviral agent in the treatment of viral infections and even cancers is common, although, the beneficial effects of this antiviral agent in high doses can be associated with side effects that limit its use. In this project, we tried to investigate t...
