Deapioplatycodin D inhibits glioblastoma cell proliferation by inducing BNIP3L-mediated incomplete mitophagy by Yu Sun, Guangze Zhu, Renshuang Zhao, Yaru Li, Hongyang Li, Yunyun Liu, Ningyi Jin, Xiao Li, Yiquan Li, Tiemei Liu

“…Transcriptomics identified differences in mitophagy-related genes, and analysis of the levels of the corresponding proteins indicated that mitophagy in GBM cells was induced mainly through BNIP3L. Increased expression of BNIP3L disrupts the Bcl-2-Beclin-1 complex, thereby releasing Beclin-1 and activating autophagy. …”
