Ca 2+ -dependent autophagy is enhanced by the pharmacological agent PK11195
Get PDFThe 1-(2-Chlorophenyl-N-methylpropyl)-3-isoquinolinecarboxamide, PK11195, is a proven enhancer of apoptotic cell death in a variety of cellular models. Recently, we have shown that by targeting the oncogene Bcl-2, PK11195 increases the [Ca ( 2+) ] in the Endoplasmic Reticulum ([Ca ( 2+) ]er) as well as IP3 induced mitochondrial ([Ca ( 2+) ]m) and cytosolic ([Ca ( 2+) ]c) Ca ( 2+) transients in HeLa cervix carcinoma cells. Here, in the same cells, we have investigated PK11195 contribution to models of pharmacologically induced macroautophagy. To do so, we have monitored the pattern of LC3 (the mammalian orthologue of yeast Atg8) distribution and post transcriptional modifications after challenging with Ca ( 2+) -dependent (ATP, Vitamin D3) and independent (Rapamycin and H 2O 2) stimuli for autophagy execution. We found that PK11195 plays a pro-autophagy role if associated with ATP and Vitamin D3 to be ineffective if co-incubated with Rapamycin and H 2O 2. Notably, Bcl-2 deletion abolished PK11195 effects thus suggesting a selective way of action against the oncogene. By these means, PK11195 is proposed as facilitator of Ca ( 2+) mediated autophagy and tool to ascertain the Bcl-2 contribution to the onset and unfolding of this essential catabolic process for cellular homeostasis
Holly Hughes, 24th Annual ODU Literary Festival
No full textHolly Hughes author of Clit Notes: A Sapphic Sampler, Hughes is one of the most popular and controversial out-there-in-your-face writer/performers around. An escape artist who escaped her conservative upbringing in a part of the country where silence was the first language, she has become an Obie award-winning performance artist and playwright, as well as a central figure in America\u27s culture wars. In the late `80s and early `90s, Holly Hughes was the undisputed lesbian bad girl of publicly funded art. Her open, often raw depiction of sexuality, especially in her work at New York\u27s feminist WOW cafe, rattled both ends of the political spectrum. By the end of the `80s, Hughes had moved toward a showdown with the Christian Right\u27s perennial senatorial patriarch, Jesse Helms. Her body of work includes Dress Suits for Hire (a collaboration with Peggy Shaw and Lois Weaver), No Trace of the Blonde, The Well of Horniness, Clit Notes, and Cat O\u27Nine Tales
G20 2014: perspectives from business, civil society, labour, think tanks and youth
Get PDFThis paper brings together policy contributions from a wide cross-section of society interested in feeding into the G20 process.
Summary
G20 engagement partners from Business (B20), Civil Society (C20), Labour (L20), Think Tanks (T20) and Youth (Y20) have each provided a contribution for this issue of the Monitor. Each address how the groups are organising their contribution to the G20 process in 2014, their priorities for the G20, and thoughts on what would constitute ‘success’ in terms of possible outcomes from the Brisbane Summit. The Australian G20 Sherpa, Heather Smith, has provided an opening comment.
Key points
One characteristic that all engagement partners share is their recognition of the importance of strengthening the G20.
Through their engagement with the G20 presidency, the G20 engagement partners have an important role to play in communicating the G20’s work to the wider public for greater understanding.
The engagement partners can use their networks to help convey what the G20 is doing, and why the involvement of the non-government sector is important
