Objective: Several cancers have showed differences in the role of p- AMPK in cancer growth, progression and prognosis, and little is identified regarding the significance of p-AMPK expression in colorectal adenocarcinoma. Therefore, this report will define p-AMPK phenotype in a panel of colorectal carcinomas and explore the relationship between this phenotype and tumor clinicopathological features.
Methods: A total of 228 cases comprising 155 large intestine cancers and 73 controls (40 benign tumors and thirty three non-cancerous tissues) were employed in tissue microarray construction. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining was applied to reveal p-AMPK expression. This study was carried out in the pathology lab of King Abdulaziz University Hospital over a duration of 15 months and was completed on 7 July 2018.
Results: Phosphorylated AMPK was identified in 133 (85.8%) of colorectal cancers and 73 (100%) control cases. Histologic type was noticeably correlated with p-AMPK immunostaining (P= 0.001), high score of p-AMPK immunostaining is more frequent in control cases. Considerable varied survival models were observed with neoplasm size, metastatic tumor, recurrence and disease relapse (P-values<0.01). Survival estimates are considerably healthier in positive cases which have one of the following features size less than 5 cm, absence of metastatic tumor, no reoccurrence or disease relapse.
Conclusions: The present study showed a reduction in the IHC staining of p-AMPK in colorectal cancer compared with controls. IHC staining of p-AMPK can be a supportive marker in predicting prognosis and survival estimates of colorectal tumors with specific clinical factors.

Impact of protein intake from a caloric-restricted diet on liver lipid metabolism in overweight and obese rats of different sexes.

In addition to being linked to an excess of lipid accumulation in the liver, being overweight or obese can also result in disorders of lipid metabolism. There is limited understanding regarding whether different levels of protein intake within an energy-restricted diet affect liver lipid metabolism in overweight and obese rats and whether these effects differ by gender, despite the fact that both high protein intake and calorie restriction can improve intrahepatic lipid. The purpose of this study is to explore the effects and mechanisms of different protein intakes within a calorie-restricted diet on liver lipid metabolism, and to investigate whether these effects exhibit gender differences.

The clinical use of dexamethasone (DXM) is associated with the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the mechanisms by which DXM-induced NAFLD is still incompletely known. Therefore, the current study aims to test the hypothesis that DXM-induced NAFLD is mediated by dysregulation of key genes involved in lipid metabolism and liraglutide (LG) can ameliorate these effects.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how curcumin affects bladder cancer cells regarding growth, movement, and resistance to cisplatin (a chemotherapy drug) by targeting a specific signaling pathway (LKB1-AMPK-LC3).
- Human bladder cancer cells (T24) and their cisplatin-resistant counterparts (T24/DDP) were treated with varying concentrations of curcumin, and various assays measured cell proliferation, migration, autophagy, and apoptosis.
- Results showed that curcumin, especially when combined with metformin, influences these cellular functions and could reduce drug resistance, affecting the expression of proteins in the targeted signaling pathway.

6:2 chloro-polyfluorooctane ether sulfonate (F-53B) is considered neurotoxic, but its mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the toxic effects of F-53B on neuronal cells, focusing on the role of the V-ATPase-AMPK axis in the mechanism of abnormal energy metabolism. Mouse astrocytes (C8-D1A) and human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) exposed to F-53B were used as in vitro models.
