ATG5, Autophagy-related 5: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
ATG5 (Autophagy-related 5) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the process of autophagy, a cellular mechanism that involves the degradation and recycling of damaged or dysfunctional cellular components. ATG5 is a key component of the autophagy machinery and is involved in the formation of autophagosomes, which are double-membraned vesicles that engulf and digest cellular components.
Increased expression in: breast, GBM (poor prognosis).
Decreased in: Colon, Prostate (associated with improved prognosis).

ChemoSen↑, A combination of 5-fluorouracil and spermine analogues N 1 , N 11 -diethylnorspermine (DENSPM) (6, Figure 5) at concentrations 1.25, 2.5, 5, and 10 μM or α-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) led to a synergistic killing of HCT116 colon carcinoma cells

4874- Uro,  EGCG,    A Combination Therapy of Urolithin A+EGCG Has Stronger Protective Effects than Single Drug Urolithin A in a Humanized Amyloid Beta Knockin Mice for Late-Onset Alzheimer's Disease
- in-vivo, AD, NA
*motorD↑, increased positive effects of urolithin A and a combination treatment of urolithin A+EGCG in hAbKI mice for phenotypic behavioral changes including motor coordination, locomotion/exploratory activity, spatial learning and working memory
*memory↑,
*MitoP↑, mitophagy and autophagy genes were upregulated
*Aβ↓, The levels of amyloid beta (Aβ) 40 and Aβ42 are reduced in both treatments, however, the reduction is higher for combined treatment
*mitResp↑, Mitochondrial respiration is stronger for urolithin A compared to EGCG, indicating that mitophagy enhancer, urolithin A is a better and more promising molecule to enhance mitophagy activity.
*Nrf1↑, table4
*PINK1↑,
*PARK2↑,
*ATG5↑,
*Bcl-2↑,
*H2O2↓, we found hydrogen peroxide levels were reduced in urolithin A (p = 0.0008) and urolithin A+EGCG (p = 0.0004) treated hAbKI mice relative to untreated mice.
*ROS↓, urolithin A and EGCG act as free radical scavengers in hAbKI mice
*lipid-P↓, (lipid peroxidation) were also significantly reduced in urolithin A (p = 0.0003) and urolithin A+EGCG (p = 0.0002) treated hAbKI mice relative to untreated hAbKI mice
*mt-ATP↑, mitochondrial ATP levels were increased in urolithin A (p = 0.007) and urolithin A+EGCG (p = 0.0002) treated hAbKI mice relative to hAbKI untreated mice.
