AUTOPHAGY ACTIVATION BY RAPAMYCIN BEFORE HYPOXIA-REOXYGENATION REDUCES ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM STRESS IN ALVEOLAR EPITHELIAL CELLS

Autophagy Activation by Rapamycin Before Hypoxia-Reoxygenation Reduces Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Alveolar Epithelial Cells

Background: To determine potential effects of autophagy activation on hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) induced damage of a rat alveolar epithelial cell line.Methods: CCL149 cells were subjected to autophagy agonist (rapamycin, Rap), autophagy inhibitor (3-methyladenine, 3-MA) or PBS for 1 h before H/R treatment for 2 h, 4 h and 6 h.The optimal concentra

Transpiration and water potential of young Quercus petraea (M.) Liebl. coppice sprouts and seedlings during favourable and drought conditions

Increased frequency and intensity of drought events consequently affect oak high forests with the process of further decline, compromised growth and questionable natural regeneration.To overcome such difficulties, new adaptive strategies Changing Mat are required.Coppicing, as the oldest way of forest management, might provide some solutions.In our
