1 Celastrol prevents cadmium-induced neuronal cell death by blocking reactive oxygen species-mediated mammalian target of rapamycin pathway. celastrol mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase Homo sapiens
2 RESULTS: Celastrol attenuated Cd-induced apoptosis by suppressing Cd activation of mTOR, which was attributed to preventing Cd inactivation of AMPK. celastrol mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase Homo sapiens
3 Inhibition of AMPK with compound C or expression of dominant negative AMPKalpha prevented celastrol from hindering Cd-induced dephosphorylation of AMPKalpha, activation of mTOR and apoptosis. celastrol mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase Homo sapiens
4 Inhibition of mTOR with rapamycin or knockdown of mTOR potentiated prevention by celastrol, of Cd-induced phosphorylation of p70 S6 kinase 1/eukaryotic initiation factor 4E binding protein 1 and apoptosis. celastrol mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase Homo sapiens
5 Inhibition of mTOR with rapamycin or knockdown of mTOR potentiated prevention by celastrol, of Cd-induced phosphorylation of p70 S6 kinase 1/eukaryotic initiation factor 4E binding protein 1 and apoptosis. celastrol mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase Homo sapiens
6 CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Celastrol prevented the inactivation of AMPK by mitochondrial ROS, thus attenuating Cd-induced mTOR activation and neuronal apoptosis. celastrol mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase Homo sapiens
