Ochratoxin A (OTA) could cause a variety of toxicological effects especially nephrotoxicity in animals and humans. Autophagy is a highly conserved metabolic process that plays an important role in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis under stress. However, the role of autophagy in OTA-induced nephrotoxicity is unknown. In the present study, we demonstrated that OTA treatment at 2.0-8.0 μM could increase cytotoxicity of PK-15 cells by inducing apoptosis as shown by the increased Annexin V/PI staining, increased caspase-3 and PARP cleavage and increased apoptotic nuclei. Meantime, autophagy was triggered when OTA was administrated, as indicated by markedly increased expressions of LC3-II, ATG5 and Beclin-1, accumulation of GFP-LC3 dots and increased double- or single-membrane vesicles. OTA treatment decreased p-AKT and p-mTOR activities, and OTA-induced autophagy was inhibited when insulin was applied. Furthermore, OTA treatments with autophagy inhibitors (3-methyladenine or chloroquine) or knockdown of autophagy-related genes (ATG5 or Beclin-1) resulted in significantly reduced autophagy level and enhanced cytotoxicity. In conclusion, OTA induces cytoprotective autophagy against its cytotoxicity and inactivation of AKT/mTOR axis plays a critical role in autophagy induction.

D000071186 Beclin-1 An autophagy related protein which functions as a core subunit of PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOL 3-KINASE MULTIPROTEIN COMPLEXES. It mediates the formation of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and functions in AUTOPHAGY, where it is required for maturation of the AUTOPHAGOSOME. It also functions in ENDOCYTOSIS and CYTOKINESIS as part of a separate complex. Beclin-1 associates with INTRACELLULAR MEMBRANES and interacts with the PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEINS C-BCL-2 and BCL-X PROTEIN.

D000071187 Autophagy-Related Protein 5 An autophagy-related protein that functions in AUTOPHAGOSOME biogenesis. It is conjugated to the ATG12 PROTEIN via a process that is similar to UBIQUITINATION and involves the ATG7 PROTEIN and ATG10 enzyme. The ATG12-ATG5 conjugate acts as an E3 UBIQUITIN LIGASE-like enzyme and is required for the localization of ATG8 PROTEINS to AUTOPHAGOSOME vesicle membranes and modification of membrane lipids.

D001343 Autophagy The segregation and degradation of various cytoplasmic constituents via engulfment by MULTIVESICULAR BODIES; VACUOLES; or AUTOPHAGOSOMES and their digestion by LYSOSOMES. It plays an important role in BIOLOGICAL METAMORPHOSIS and in the removal of bone by OSTEOCLASTS. Defective autophagy is associated with various diseases, including NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES and cancer.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
