چکیده
Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are emerging as novel materials with great potentials for various biomedical applications, but their biological activities are largely unknown. In the present study, we found that ferroferric oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) induced autophagy in blood cells. Both naked and modified Fe3O4 NPs induced LC3 lipidation and degraded p62, a monitor of autophagy flux. And this change could be abolished by autophagy inhibitors. Mechanistically, Fe3O4 NP-induced autophagy was accompanied by increased Beclin 1 and VPS34 and decreased Bcl-2, thus promoting the formation of the critical complex in autophagy initiation. Further studies demonstrated that Fe3O4 NPs attenuated cell death induced by anticancer drugs bortezomib and doxorubicin. Therefore, this study suggested that Fe3O4 NPs can induce prosurvival autophagy in blood cells by modulating the Beclin l/Bcl-2/VPS34 complex. This study suggests that caution should be taken when Fe3O4 NPs are used in blood cancer patients.

Functional specificity of the mammalian Beclin-Vps34 PI 3-kinase complex in macroautophagy versus endocytosis and lysosomal enzyme trafficking.
Beclin 1 was originally identified as a novel Bcl-2-interacting protein, but co-immunoprecipitation studies suggest that the major physiological partner for Beclin 1 is the mammalian class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) Vps34. Beclin 1 has been proposed to function as a tumor suppressor by promoting cellular macroautophagy, a process that is known to depend on Vps34. However, a...
متن کاملBcl-2 family members: dual regulators of apoptosis and autophagy.
The essential autophagy protein and haplo-insufficient tumor suppressor, Beclin 1, interacts with several cofactors (Ambra1, Bif-1, UVRAG) to activate the lipid kinase Vps34, thereby inducing autophagy. In normal conditions, Beclin 1 is bound to and inhibited by Bcl-2 or the Bcl-2 homolog Bcl-X(L). This interaction involves a Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3) domain in Beclin 1 and the BH3 binding groove ...

Autophagy is a stress-induced catabolic process in which cytoplasmic components, sequestered in double-membrane autophagic vesicles (AVs) or autophagosomes, are delivered to lysosomes for degradation and recycling [Kroemer G, Mariño G, Levine B (2010) Mol Cell 40(2):280-293].

متن کاملEndostatin induces autophagy in endothelial cells by modulating Beclin 1 and β-catenin levels
Endostatin is a well-characterized endogenous inhibitor of angiogenesis that affects cell proliferation and migration by inhibiting integrin and Wnt-mediated signalling pathways. Here, we show that endothelial cells treated with native and P125A-endostatin activate autophagy. Because autophagy can either be protective or induce programmed cell death, experiments were carried out to understand t...
متن کاملDifferential Regulation of Distinct Vps34 Complexes by AMPK in Nutrient Stress and Autophagy
Autophagy is a stress response protecting cells from unfavorable conditions, such as nutrient starvation. The class III phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase, Vps34, forms multiple complexes and regulates both intracellular vesicle trafficking and autophagy induction. Here, we show that AMPK plays a key role in regulating different Vps34 complexes. AMPK inhibits the nonautophagy Vps34 complex by phosph...
