AIF Cancer Research Results

AIF, Apoptosis-Inducing Factor: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
AIF is a mitochondrial oxidoreductase that contributes to cell death programmes and participates in the assembly of the respiratory chain.
Nuclear translocation of AIF occurs during cell death and has been associated with human disorders. Expression Levels:
AIF is often found to be overexpressed in several types of cancers, including breast, lung, and colorectal cancers.
The expression of AIF can vary significantly between different tumor types and even among patients with the same type of cancer.
Survival Rates:
High levels of AIF expression have been associated with poor prognosis in certain cancers, indicating a potential role in tumor aggressiveness and metastasis.
Conversely, low AIF expression may correlate with better survival outcomes in some contexts.
Overexpression: In many cancers, AIF is overexpressed, which is often associated with poor prognosis, increased tumor aggressiveness, and resistance to therapy.

5265- 3BP,    KAT/3BP: A Metabolism-Targeting Agent with Single and Combination Activity in Aggressive B-Cell Lymphomas
- Review, lymphoma, NA
Glycolysis↓, Under acidic extracellular pH, 3BP is transported into cancer cells via monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1), inhibiting glycolysis by covalently modifying hexokinase II (HK2).
HK2↓, HK2 dissociation from mitochondria, release of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), and induction of apoptosis
AIF↓,
Apoptosis↑,
NK cell↑, In the latter, tumor regression was accompanied by increased circulating CD4+, CD8+, and NK cells, enhanced tumor-associated macrophage infiltration, and reduced local immunosuppression

*cardioP↑, Studies have shown that curcumin can induce cell regeneration and defense in multiple organs such as the brain, cardiovascular system,
other↑, It has been shown that chronic use of curcumin in patients with neurodegenerative disorder can cause gray matter volume increase
*COX2↓, Curcumin also decreased the brain protein levels and activity of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2)
*IL1β↓, inhibition of IL-1β and TNF-α production, and enhancement of Nf-Kβ inhibition
*TNF-α↓,
NF-kB↓,
*PGE2↓, hronic curcumin therapy has shown a significant decrease in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced elevation of brain prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis in rats
*iNOS↓, curcumin pretreatment decreased NOS activity in the ischemic rat model
*NO↓, curcumin has been shown to decrease NOS expression and NO production in rat brain tissue
*IL2↓, IL-2 is a cytokine that is anti-inflammatory. Numerous studies have shown that curcumin increases the secretion of IL-2
*IL4↓, curcumin reduced levels of IL-4
*IL6↓, Numerous studies have shown that curcumin in neurodegenerative events attenuates IL-6 production
*INF-γ↓, curcumin reduced the production of INF-γ, as pro-inflammatory cytokine
*GSK‐3β↓, Furthermore, previous findings have confirmed that inhibition of GSK-3β or CREB activation by curcumin has reduced the production of pro-inflammatory mediators under different conditions
*STAT↓, Inhibition of GSK-3β by curcumin has been found to result in reduced STAT activation
*GSH↑, chronic curcumin therapy increased glutathione levels in primary cultivated rat cerebral cortical cells
*MDA↓, multiple doses of 5, 10, 40 and 60 mg/kg) in rodents will inhibit neurodegenerative agent malicious effects, and reduce the amount of MDA and lipid peroxidation in brain tissue
*lipid-P↓,
*SOD↑, Curcumin induces increased production of SOD, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), CAT, and glutathione reductase (GR) activating antioxidant defenses
*GPx↑,
*Catalase↑,
*GSR↓,
*LDH↓, Curcumin decreased lactate dehydrogenase, lipoid peroxidation, ROS, H2O2 and inhibited Caspase 3 and 9
