Journal ArticleDOI

LPS-induced autophagy is mediated by oxidative signaling in cardiomyocytes and is associated with cytoprotection.

TL;DR: The notion that autophagy is a cytoprotective response to LPS-induced cardiomyocyte injury is supported; additional studies are needed to determine the therapeutic implications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy induced by ischemic preconditioning is essential for cardioprotection.

TL;DR: Findings establish autophagy as an end-effector in ischemic and pharmacologic preconditioning and assesses three structurally unrelated cardioprotective agents for their ability to induce Autophagy in HL-1 cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Muscle-specific RING finger-2 (MURF-2) is important for microtubule, intermediate filament and sarcomeric M-line maintenance in striated muscle development.

TL;DR: Reducing MURF-2 levels in cardiac myocytes using antisense oligonucleotides perturbed the structure of stable microtubule populations, the intermediate filament proteins desmin and vimentin, and the Sarcomeric M-line region, while other sarcomeric regions and dynamic microtubules remained unaffected.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy and protein kinase C are required for cardioprotection by sulfaphenazole.

TL;DR: These studies indicate that cardioprotection mediated by SUL involves a PKC-dependent induction of autophagy, and suggest that autophagic may be a fundamental process that enhances the heart's tolerance to ischemia.
