Journal ArticleDOI

Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy

Daniel J. Klionsky, +1287 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: These guidelines are presented for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macroautophagy 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

Stress proteins and oxidative damage in a renal derived cell line exposed to inorganic mercury and lead.

Alessandra Stacchiotti, +8 more
- 29 Oct 2009 - 
TL;DR: In NRK-52E cell line the stress response is an early and metal-induced event that correlates well with the direct oxidative damage induced by mercury, and different chaperones are involved in the specific nephrotoxic mechanism of these environmental pollutants and work together for cell survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cisplatin triggers atrophy of skeletal C2C12 myotubes via impairment of Akt signalling pathway and subsequent increment activity of proteasome and autophagy systems.

Alessandro Fanzani, +4 more
- 01 Feb 2011 - 
TL;DR: Results indicate that cisPt induces atrophy of C2C12 myotubes via activation of proteasome and autophagy systems, suggesting that the Akt pathway represents one sensitive target of cisPT molecular action in skeletal muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endogenous thiols and MRP transporters contribute to Hg2+ efflux in HgCl2-treated tubular MDCK cells.

Maria Francesca Aleo, +8 more
- 05 Jan 2005 - 
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that, in MDCK cells, inorganic Hg(2+) promotes the activation of specific detoxifying pathways that may, at least partly, depend on the activity of MRP transporters.
Journal ArticleDOI

ER signaling regulation drives the switch between autophagy and apoptosis in NRK-52E cells exposed to cisplatin.

Francesca Rovetta, +8 more
- 01 Feb 2012 - 
TL;DR: This is the first demonstration that taurine enhances autophagic protection against apoptosis by reducing ER stress, thus making it possible to develop new strategies to reduce severe cisPt-induced side-effects such as nephrotoxicity.
