Family CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family
Function
Catalytic subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an energy sensor protein kinase that plays a key role in regulating cellular energy metabolism. In response to reduction of intracellular ATP levels, AMPK activates energy-producing pathways and inhibits energy-consuming processes: inhibits protein, carbohydrate and lipid biosynthesis, as well as cell growth and proliferation. AMPK acts via direct phosphorylation of metabolic enzymes, and by longer-term effects via phosphorylation of transcription regulators. Regulates lipid synthesis by phosphorylating and inactivating lipid metabolic enzymes such as ACACA, ACACB, GYS1, HMGCR and LIPE; regulates fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis by phosphorylating acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACACA and ACACB) and hormone-sensitive lipase (LIPE) enzymes, respectively. Promotes lipolysis of lipid droplets by mediating phosphorylation of isoform 1 of CHKA (CHKalpha2). Regulates insulin-signaling and glycolysis by phosphorylating IRS1, PFKFB2 and PFKFB3. AMPK stimulates glucose uptake in muscle by increasing the translocation of the glucose transporter SLC2A4/GLUT4 to the plasma membrane, possibly by mediating phosphorylation of TBC1D4/AS160. Regulates transcription and chromatin structure by phosphorylating transcription regulators involved in energy metabolism such as CRTC2/TORC2, FOXO3, histone H2B, HDAC5, MEF2C, MLXIPL/ChREBP, EP300, HNF4A, p53/TP53, SREBF1, SREBF2 and PPARGC1A. Acts as a key regulator of glucose homeostasis in liver by phosphorylating CRTC2/TORC2, leading to CRTC2/TORC2 sequestration in the cytoplasm. In response to stress, phosphorylates 'Ser-36' of histone H2B (H2BS36ph), leading to promote transcription. Acts as a key regulator of cell growth and proliferation by phosphorylating TSC2, RPTOR and ATG1/ULK1: in response to nutrient limitation, negatively regulates the mTORC1 complex by phosphorylating RPTOR component of the mTORC1 complex and by phosphorylating and activating TSC2. In response to nutrient limitation, promotes autophagy by phosphorylating and activating ATG1/ULK1. In that process also activates WDR45/WIPI4. Phosphorylates CASP6, thereby preventing its autoprocessing and subsequent activation. In response to nutrient limitation, phosphorylates transcription factor FOXO3 promoting FOXO3 mitochondrial import. Also acts as a regulator of cellular polarity by remodeling the actin cytoskeleton; probably by indirectly activating myosin. AMPK also acts as a regulator of circadian rhythm by mediating phosphorylation of CRY1, leading to destabilize it. May regulate the Wnt signaling pathway by phosphorylating CTNNB1, leading to stabilize it. Also has tau-protein kinase activity: in response to amyloid beta A4 protein (APP) exposure, activated by CAMKK2, leading to phosphorylation of MAPT/TAU; however the relevance of such data remains unclear in vivo. Also phosphorylates CFTR, EEF2K, KLC1, NOS3 and SLC12A1.

Rats were anaesthetised through intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital (40 mg/kg) and placed onto a stereotaxic instrument (RWD Life Science Co., Ltd.). A 1-cm midline incision was performed in the rat scalp to expose the intersection point. Then, a hole 3.2 mm lateral and 1.4 mm anterior to the right bregma was produced. Next, 1.0 ul collagenase type IV (0.25 IU/ul; C5138; Sigma-Aldrich, USA) was injected into the basal ganglia via a microinjection pump (4.2 mm depth below the endocranium) at a rate of 0.2 ul/min. The needle was maintained for 5 min after injection to prevent backflow. Thereafter, the skin incision was closed using sutures. Rats in the sham group received 1.0 ul saline instead of collagenase type IV.

Rats were anaesthetised through intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital (40 mg/kg) and placed onto a stereotaxic instrument (RWD Life Science Co., Ltd.). A 1-cm midline incision was performed in the rat scalp to expose the intersection point. Then, a hole 3.2 mm lateral and 1.4 mm anterior to the right bregma was produced. Next, 1.0 ul collagenase type IV (0.25 IU/ul; C5138; Sigma-Aldrich, USA) was injected into the basal ganglia via a microinjection pump (4.2 mm depth below the endocranium) at a rate of 0.2 ul/min. The needle was maintained for 5 min after injection to prevent backflow. Thereafter, the skin incision was closed using sutures. Rats in the sham group received 1.0 ul saline instead of collagenase type IV.

BALB/c Nude Mice (4 weeks old) were obtained from Shanghai Experimental Animal Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Shanghai, China) and then subcutaneously injection with HL60 cells (1 x 107, suspended in 0.1 mL PBS). After tumors reached 100-200 mm3, the mice were randomly assigned to two groups. DHA was administered intraperitoneal injection once a day at 50 mg/kg body weight and the mice in normal control were received equal amounts of vehicle (10% DMSO in sterile corn oil). On the 28th day, mice were euthanized. The tumor volumes were measured every 4 days with a caliper.

Response regulation Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) strongly inhibited the viability of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines and arrest cell cycle at G0/G1 phase. Mechanistically, DHA induced autophagy by regulating the activity of AMPK/mTOR/p70S6k signaling pathway, which accelerated the degradation of ferritin, increased the labile iron pool, promoted the accumulation of cellular ROS and eventually led to ferroptotic cell death.
