The widespread and excessive use of ivermectin (IVM) will not only cause serious environmental pollution, but will also affect metabolism of humans and other mammals that are exposed. IVM has the characteristics of being widely distributed and slowly metabolized, which will cause potential toxicity to the body. We focused on the metabolic pathway and mechanism of toxicity of IVM on RAW264.7 cells. Colony formation and LDH detection assay showed that IVM significantly inhibited the proliferation of and induced cytotoxicity in RAW264.7 cells. Intracellular biochemical analysis using Western blotting assay showed that LC3-B and Beclin-1 were upregulated and p62 was down-regulated. The combination of confocal fluorescence, calcein-AM/CoCl2, and fluorescence probe results showed that IVM could induce the opening of the mitochondrial membrane permeability transition pore, reduce mitochondrial content, and increase lysosome content. In addition, we focused on induction of IVM in the autophagy signal pathway. The Western blotting results showed that IVM increased expression of p-AMPK and decreased p-mTOR and p-S6K expression in protein levels, indicating that IVM activated the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway. Therefore, IVM may inhibit cell proliferation by inducing cell cycle arrest and autophagy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007559 Ivermectin A mixture of mostly avermectin H2B1a (RN 71827-03-7) with some avermectin H2B1b (RN 70209-81-3), which are macrolides from STREPTOMYCES avermitilis. It binds glutamate-gated chloride channel to cause increased permeability and hyperpolarization of nerve and muscle cells. It also interacts with other CHLORIDE CHANNELS. It is a broad spectrum antiparasitic that is active against microfilariae of ONCHOCERCA VOLVULUS but not the adult form. Eqvalan,Ivomec,MK-933,Mectizan,Stromectol,MK 933,MK933

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

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.

D055372 AMP-Activated Protein Kinases Intracellular signaling protein kinases that play a signaling role in the regulation of cellular energy metabolism. Their activity largely depends upon the concentration of cellular AMP which is increased under conditions of low energy or metabolic stress. AMP-activated protein kinases modify enzymes involved in LIPID METABOLISM, which in turn provide substrates needed to convert AMP into ATP. 5'-AMP-Activated Protein Kinase,AMP-Activated Kinase,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase alpha Subunit,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase alpha Subunits,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase beta Subunit,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase beta Subunits,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase gamma Subunit,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase gamma Subunits,PRKAA,5' AMP Activated Protein Kinase,AMP Activated Kinase,AMP Activated Protein Kinase,AMP Activated Protein Kinase alpha Subunit,AMP Activated Protein Kinase alpha Subunits,AMP Activated Protein Kinase beta Subunit,AMP Activated Protein Kinase beta Subunits,AMP Activated Protein Kinase gamma Subunit,AMP Activated Protein Kinase gamma Subunits,AMP Activated Protein Kinases
D058570 TOR Serine-Threonine Kinases A serine threonine kinase that controls a wide range of growth-related cellular processes. The protein is referred to as the target of RAPAMYCIN due to the discovery that SIROLIMUS (commonly known as rapamycin) forms an inhibitory complex with TACROLIMUS BINDING PROTEIN 1A that blocks the action of its enzymatic activity.
