Peroxynitrite is a potent neurotoxic molecule produced from a reaction between NO and superoxide and induces NO-mediated inflammation under neuropathological conditions. Previously, we reported that glucose deprivation induced ATP depletion and cell death in immunostimulated astrocytes, which was mainly due to peroxynitrite. In this study, the role of MAPKs (ERK1/2, p38MAPK, and JNK1SAPK) signal pathway in the SIN-1/glucose deprivation-induced death of astrocytes was examined. A combined treatment with glucose deprivation and 50 microM SIN-1, an endogenous peroxynitrite generator, rapidly and markedly increased the death in rat primary astrocytes. Also, SIN-1/glucose deprivation resulted in the activation of MAPKs, which was significantly blocked by the treatment with 20 microM MAPKs inhibitors (ERK1/2, PD98059; p38MAPK, SB203580; JNK/SAPK, SP600125). Interestingly, SIN-1/glucose deprivation caused the loss of intracellular ATP level, which was significantly reversed by MAPKs inhibitors. These results suggest that the activation of MAPKs plays an important role in SIN-1/glucose deprivation-induced cell death by regulating the intracellular ATP level.

Introduction: Sleep deprivation (SD), stemming from a myriad of aetiologies, is a prevalent health condition frequently overlooked. It typically impairs memory consolidation and synaptic plasticity, potentially through neuroinflammatory mechanisms and adenosinergic signalling. It is still unclear whether the adenosine A1 receptor (A1R) modulates SD-induced neurological deficits in the hippocampus.

Progranulin (PGRN), an autocrine growth factor with tumorigenic roles in a variety of tumors, is a putative survival factor for normal and cancer cells in vitro. However, the fundamental mechanism of PGRN-mediated survival of cancer cells suffering from various types of microenvironmental stresses, such as serum deprivation, remains unknown. We show here that serum deprivation decreases intracellular PGRN protein levels in cervical cancer cells.

Ischemic-anoxic injury plays an important role in the pathophysiology of diabetes retinopathy, optic neuropathy, even glaucoma and other ocular diseases. It may ultimately cause damage to neuronal death like retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and subsequent visual loss. RGCs are essential elements of the retina and optic nerve that are crucial to visual formation.

Article Synopsis
- Erastin is known for inducing ferroptosis, a form of cell death, but its other potential roles, especially regarding cell survival during nutrient deprivation, remain unclear.
- * The study aims to explore how erastin affects nucleus pulposus cells when nutrients are lacking, specifically looking at concentrations that can either cause or protect against cell death.
- * Results show that low doses of erastin can actually protect these cells from death caused by nutrient deprivation, and this effect is independent of ferroptosis, potentially involving SCL7A11 regulation and mTORC1-TFEB mediated autophagy.
