1 Oncosis-like cell death is induced by berberine through ERK1/2-mediated impairment of mitochondrial aerobic respiration in gliomas. Berberine mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Homo sapiens
2 We also found that berberine induced autophagy as a protective effect and decreased the oxygen consumption rate (OCR), which could inhibit mitochondrial aerobic respiration by repressing phosphorylated extracellular regulated protein kinases (p-ERK1/2). Berberine mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Homo sapiens
3 Furthermore, the down-regulation of mitochondrial p-ERK1/2 by berberine inhibited aerobic respiration and led to glycolysis, an inefficient energy production pathway. Berberine mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Homo sapiens
4 In addition, berberine reduced tumor growth and inhibited Ki-67 and p-ERK1/2 expression in vivo. Berberine mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Homo sapiens
5 The results demonstrate that berberine, which represses aerobic oxidation in mitochondria and decreases their energy production efficiency, decreases metabolic activity by reducing ERK1/2 activity. Berberine mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Homo sapiens
