Aldehyde Dehydrogenase Activity of Breast Cancer Stem Cells Is Primarily Due To Isoform ALDH1A3 and Its Expression Is Predictive of Metastasis

TL;DR: The results identified ALDH1A3 as a novel CSC marker with potential clinical prognostic applicability, and demonstrate a clear correlation between CSC prevalence and the development of metastatic breast cancer, as well as shRNA knockdown experiments of the various ALDH isoforms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drosophila Cup is an eIF4E-binding protein that functions in Smaug-mediated translational repression

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Smaug interacts with the Cup protein and that Cup is an eIF4E‐binding protein that blocks the binding of eIF3G to eIF 4E, which represses translation via a Cup‐dependent block in eif4G recruitment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy and the cell biology of age-related disease

TL;DR: How the autophagy pathway restricts cellular damage and degeneration, and the impact of these functions towards tissue health and organismal lifespan is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy-Dependent Production of Secreted Factors Facilitates Oncogenic RAS-Driven Invasion

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that an intact autophagy pathway is required for the elaboration of multiple secreted factors favoring invasion, including IL-6, which reduces the secretion of the promigratory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6), which is necessary to restore invasion of autophile-deficient cells.
