Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2522 more
- 21 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1) bZIP Protein Interacts with the Cellular Transcription Factor CREB To Inhibit HTLV-1 Transcription

TL;DR: HBZ reduces HTLV-1 transcription and virion production, and the interaction between HBZ and the cellular transcription factor CREB is characterized, suggesting that HBZ may deregulate CREB-dependent cellular gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hijacking of the AP-1 Signaling Pathway during Development of ATL.

TL;DR: The current thinking behind deregulation of the AP-1 pathway and its contribution to HTLV-induced cellular transformation is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Syncytin proteins incorporated in placenta exosomes are important for cell uptake and show variation in abundance in serum exosomes from patients with preeclampsia

TL;DR: This study concludes that villous cytotrophoblast exosomes are positive for both env proteins and are rapidly taken up by BeWo cells in a syncytin‐1‐ and syncy tin‐2‐dependent manner and that syncytn‐2 is reduced in serum‐derived exosome from women with PE when compared to exosomers from normal pregnant women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Syncytin-2 plays an important role in the fusion of human trophoblast cells.

TL;DR: Experiments with siRNA (small interfering RNA)-transfected BeWo and primary human trophoblast cells demonstrated an important diminution in the number of cell fusion events upon repression of Syncytin-2 expression, whereas transfection experiments with Syn Cytin-1-specific siRNA resulted in a more modest effect.
