Autophagy is a highly conserved cellular self-digestion pathway, by which intracellular damaged proteins or organelles are delivered to lysosomes for degradation, so as to protect from various dangerous stimuli and maintain cellular homeostasis. Inflammation is a defensive response to injury or pathogens, through which various inflammatory mediators coordinate host defense and repair. However, uncontrolled inflammatory responses can lead to secondary damage and pathogenesis of inflammatory disease. Recent studies indicate that autophagy pathway and related proteins may play important roles in regulating immune response and controlling excessive inflammation. This review introduced research progress in the role of autophagy in regulating excessive inflammation and possible mechanisms.

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, The Fifth People's Hospital of Chongqing, Chongqing, China.
Background: Mitochondria, as the energy factories of cells, are involved in a wide range of vital activities, including cell differentiation, signal transduction, the cell cycle, and apoptosis, while also regulating cell growth. However, current pharmacological treatments for stroke are challenged by issues such as drug resistance and side effects, necessitating the exploration of new therapeutic strategies.
Objective: This review aims to summarize the regulatory effects of natural compounds targeting mitochondria on neuronal mitochondrial function and metabolism, providing new perspectives for stroke treatment.
Ponatinib alleviates non-alcoholic steatohepatitis through TFEB-mediated autophagy.
Front Pharmacol
January 2025
Department of Clinical Pharmacy, Meizhou People's Hospital (Huangtang Hospital), Meizhou, China.
Objective: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressive liver disease with lipid accumulation, inflammation, and liver fibrosis. Ponatinib, a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia, was found to improve metabolic disorders in mice. However, the role of ponatinib in liver inflammation and fibrosis remains to be elucidated.

Their dynamics and autophagy influence occurrence of cellular function, particularly under stressful conditions. They can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) which is a major contributor to inflammatory diseases such as ulcerative colitis (UC).

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common subtype of primary liver cancer with varied incidence and epidemiology worldwide. Sorafenib is still a recommended treatment for a large proportion of patients with advanced HCC. Different patterns of treatment responsiveness have been identified in differentiated hepatoblastoma HepG2 cells and metastatic HCC SNU449 cells.
