Article Title: Hesperetin Induces Autophagy and Delayed Apoptosis by Modulating the AMPK/Akt/mTOR Pathway in Human Leukemia Cells In Vitro

doi: 10.3390/cimb45020102

Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic diagram of hesperetin molecular mechanism in leukemia cells. Hesperetin modulates AMPK/Akt/mTOR signaling and induces autophagy and delayed apoptosis by regulating the AMPK/Akt/mTOR pathway through AMPK activation, Akt and mTOR downregulation, inactivating and activating various target proteins, such as cleaved-PARP-1, Bcl-2, Bax, LC3-I/II, Beclin-1, Atg5, and p62; hesperetin promoted cell death in the human leukemic cell line U937 by inducing a low degree of slight apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and autophagy, which increases the anticancer effect on leukemia (created with BioRender.com).
