Cyfluthrin is widely used in the field of sanitary pest control by its wide insecticidal spectrum, high efficiency and low toxicity, low residue, and good biodegradability. But, as a double-edged sword, a large amount of cyfluthrin remains are still in the environment. The residual cyfluthrin is absorbed into the food chain through vegetation and then poses a risk to soil organisms and human health. Several studies have suggested that cyfluthrin is one of the main factors causing testicular damage, but the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we established in vivo and in vitro models of testicular injury in rats and GC-2 cells exposed to cyfluthrin to explore whether stimulator of interferon genes (STING) gene mediates the regulation of AMPK/mTOR/p70S6K autophagy pathway, which lays a foundation for further study of the mechanism of testicular injury induced by cyfluthrin. The results showed that the activity of super oxide dismutase in testis decreased and the activity of malonic dialdehyde increased with the increase of concentration in vivo and in vitro. At the same time, the levels of mitochondrial damage and inflammation in the testis also increased, which further activated autophagy. In this process, the increased level of inflammation is related to the increased expression of STING gene, and AMPK/mTOR/p70S6K autophagy pathway is also involved. To sum up, cyfluthrin has certain reproductive toxicity, and long-term exposure can induce testicular cell damage. STING gene can participate in cyfluthrin-induced testicular injury through AMPK/mTOR/P70S6K autophagy pathway.

Article Synopsis
- Ailanthone (AIL), derived from the ailanthus plant in Chinese medicine, shows promise as an antitumor agent, though its mechanism of action remains largely unknown.
- The study found that AIL inhibits the growth of Lewis cells in non-small cell lung cancer through techniques such as MTT and colony formation assays, while also investigating cell death mechanisms like autophagy and ferroptosis.
- Researchers identified that the AMPK/mTOR/p70S6k signaling pathway might play a key role in AIL's antitumor effects, paving the way for future explorations of AIL as a potential cancer treatment.

High-fat diets (HFDs) are related to the incidence of obesity and diabetes, but the effect of high-fat diet-induced brain damage remains to be clarified. In our study, we found that 24 weeks of a HFD effectively induced obesity and a change in fur color in mice. In addition, the mice also exhibited deficits in learning and memory.

Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the devastating subtype of stroke with cardiovascular complications, resulting in high rates of mortality and morbidity with the release of inflammatory factors. Previous studies have demonstrated that activation of α7nAChR can reduce immune and inflammation-related diseases by triggering the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAIP). α7nAChR mediates protection from nervous system inflammation through AMPK-mTOR-p70S6K-associated autophagy.

Objectives: Endothelial dysfunction is a precursor of cardiovascular disease, and protecting endothelial cells from damage is a treatment strategy for atherosclerosis (AS). Curcumin, a natural polyphenolic compound, has been shown to protect endothelial cells from dysfunction. In the present study, we investigated whether curcumin could ameliorate high oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced endothelial lipotoxicity by inducing autophagy in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).
