Previous research has indicated that glutathione (GSH) and autophagy are involved in the increased production of human serum albumin and porcine follicle-stimulating hormone β (HSA-pFSHβ) by NAC. This study investigated the potential interaction between GSH and autophagy in the production of HSA-pFSHβ. The findings indicated that sulfhydryl-free antioxidants such as melatonin, vitamin C, or vitamin E did not exhibit similar effects to NAC in enhancing HSA-pFSHβ yield. Moreover, NAC was found to enhance HSA-pFSHβ production by modulating GSH metabolism to reduce GSH consumption, increase total GSH levels, as well as glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and glutathione reductase (GR) activities. Additionally, inhibition of autophagy through disruption of autophagy scaffolding proteins <em>Atg1</em> or <em>Atg11</em> led to an increase in recombinant HSA-pFSHβ production. Furthermore, NAC significantly decreased the phosphorylation of Slt2, and the absence of the <em>SLT2</em> gene influenced the effect of NAC on HSA-pFSHβ secretion by modulating mitophagy and GSH metabolism. In conclusion, these results suggest a complex interplay between GSH metabolism and autophagy in the regulation of NAC-induced HSA-pFSHβ secretion.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15153,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biotechnology","volume":"398 ","pages":"Pages 146-157"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142877145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
