Cytotoxicity of [HuArgI (co)-PEG5000]-induced arginine deprivation to ovarian Cancer cells is autophagy dependent
Published 2019“…Ovarian cancer cell lines were negative for annexinV staining while showing loss of membrane integrity and absence of caspase activation, indicating caspase-independent, non-apoptotic cell death. [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000]-induced arginine deprivation led to extensive and prolonged activation of autophagy, which proved to be deleterious to cell survival since its inhibition led to a significant decrease in cytotoxicity. …”

Immunomodulatory effects of tumor Lactate Dehydrogenase C (LDHC) in breast cancer
Published 2025“…To gain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms, comparative analysis of the effects of <i>LDHC</i> knockdown in cancer cell monocultures and co-cultures was conducted. Following <i>LDHC</i> knockdown, we observed an increase in the secretion of tumor-derived pro-inflammatory cytokines (IFN-γ, GM-CSF, MCP-1, CXCL1), a decrease in the soluble levels of tumor-derived immunosuppressive factors (IL-6, Gal-9) and reduced tumor cell surface PD-L1 expression. …”
