Cadmium affects autophagy in the human intestinal cells Caco-2 through ROS-mediated ERK activation

Cadmium affects autophagy in the human intestinal cells Caco-2 through ROS-mediated ERK activation

Cadmium is a poisonous steel that enters the meals chain. Following oral ingestion, the intestinal epithelium has the capability to build up excessive ranges of this steel. We’ve got beforehand proven that Cd induces ERK1/2 activation in differentiated however not proliferative human enterocytic-like Caco-2 cells. As autophagy is a dynamic course of that performs a…

Metformin inhibits cholesterol‑induced adhesion molecule expression via activating the AMPK signaling pathway in vascular smooth muscle cells

Recruitment of lymphocytes to the vascular wall contributes to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (AS). The expression of mobile adhesion molecules, comparable to vascular cell adhesion molecule‑1 and intercellular adhesion molecule‑1, serves a crucial function in mediating lymphocyte adhesion to the vascular wall. Ldl cholesterol loading induces the expression of adhesion molecules in vascular easy muscle cells (VSMCs),…
