General description

Chemical structure: macrolide

Application

Bafilomycin A1 has been used:
  • as an autophagy inhibitor to study its effects on hepatic steatosis in human hepatocytes
  • as a vacuolar-type H+ -ATPase inhibitor to study its effects on the cell viability, percentage of PI-positive cells, and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in mice INS-1 cells
  • as a vacuolar-type H+ -ATPase inhibitor to study its effects on tau degradation in human SH-SY5Y cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

A specific inhibitor of vacuolar type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) in animal cells, plant cells and microorganisms.
Bafilomycin A1 inhibits autophagosome-lysosome fusion and autolysosome acidification, the steps involved in the autophagic process that is required for maintaining functional autophagic flux and cellular homeostasis.

The role of vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) in the cytotoxic action of diphtheria toxin (DT) was studied by using bafilomycin A1, a specific inhibitor of V-ATPase. Studies with acridine orange showed that the acidification of intracellular acidic compartments was inhibited strongly

Bafilomycin A1 is known as a strong inhibitor of the vacuolar type H(+)-ATPase in vitro, whereas other type ATPases, e.g. F1,F0-ATPase, are not affected by this antibiotic (Bowman, E.M., Siebers, A., and Altendorf, K. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.

Atherosclerosis is a progressive, chronic inflammation in arterial walls. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in inflammation, but the exact mechanism in atherosclerosis is unclear. Our microarray analyses revealed that the levels of lncRNA-FA2H-2 were significantly decreased by oxidized low-density lipoprotein
