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

IgG from Patients with Bullous Pemphigoid Depletes Cultured Keratinocytes of the 180-kDa Bullous Pemphigoid Antigen (Type XVII Collagen) and Weakens Cell Attachment

Hiroaki Iwata, +6 more
- 01 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: Results suggest that BP-IgG reduces Hemidesmosomal BP180 content, weakening the adhesion of hemidesmosomes to the lamina densa, in the presence of BP180 deficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nrf2-Mediated Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Glycogen Metabolism

Akira Uruno, +8 more
- 01 Jun 2016 - 
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that Nrf2 induction in SkM increases GBE and PhKα expression and reduces muscle glycogen content, resulting in improved glucose tolerance, and indicate that NRF2 differentially regulates glycogen metabolism inSkM and the liver.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of pemphigus antibody on the regeneration of cell-cell contact in keratinocyte cultures grown in low to normal Ca++ concentration.

Yasuo Kitajima, +2 more
- 01 Aug 1987 - 
TL;DR: Results indicate that pemphigus antibody and antigen reaction on the cell surface did not directly inhibit the Ca++-induced re-formation of cell-cell contact.
Journal ArticleDOI

Involvement of protein kinase C in translocation of desmoplakins from cytosol to plasma membrane during desmosome formation in human squamous cell carcinoma cells grown in low to normal calcium concentration.

Hamm-Ming Sheu, +2 more
- 01 Nov 1989 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that TPA (10 ng/ml) induced a rapid cell-cell contact and redistribution of desmoplakins from cytoplasm to the plasma membrane with desmosome formation within 60-120 min, which was similar to the effect of increased Ca2+.
