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.

Actin up: regulation of podocyte structure and function by components of the actin cytoskeleton

Christian Faul, +4 more
- 01 Sep 2007 - 
TL;DR: The fact that the dynamic regulation of the podocyte cytoskeleton is vital to kidney function has led to podocytes emerging as an excellent model system for studying actin cytos skeleton dynamics in a physiological context.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synaptopodin orchestrates actin organization and cell motility via regulation of RhoA signalling

Katsuhiko Asanuma, +5 more
- 01 May 2006 - 
TL;DR: Gene silencing of synaptopodin in kidney podocytes causes the loss of stress fibres and the formation of aberrant non-polarized filopodia and impairment of cell migration, and shows that syn laptopodin is essential for the integrity of the podocyte actin cytoskeleton and for the regulation of podocyte cell migration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impaired Podocyte Autophagy Exacerbates Proteinuria in Diabetic Nephropathy.

Atsuko Tagawa, +18 more
- 01 Mar 2016 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that autophagy plays a pivotal role in maintaining lysosome homeostasis in podocytes under diabetic conditions, and that its impairment is involved in the pathogenesis of podocyte loss, leading to massive proteinuria in diabetic nephropathy.
