Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy in higher eukaryotes

Daniel J. Klionsky, +235 more
- 16 Feb 2008 - 
TL;DR: A set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of the methods that can be used by investigators who are attempting to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as by reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that investigate these processes are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

p21-activated kinases in cancer

TL;DR: Paks are well-known regulators of cytoskeletal remodelling and cell motility, but have recently been shown to promote cell proliferation, regulate apoptosis and accelerate mitotic abnormalities, which results in tumour formation and cell invasiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrophage-Derived Metalloelastase Is Responsible for the Generation of Angiostatin in Lewis Lung Carcinoma

TL;DR: It is suggested that angiostatin is produced by tumor-infiltrating macrophages whose MME expression is stimulated by tumor cell-derived granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Linkage of Rapid Estrogen Action to MAPK Activation by ERα-Shc Association and Shc Pathway Activation

TL;DR: E2 rapidly induced Shc phosphorylation and Shc-Grb2 (growth factor receptor binding protein 2)-Sos (son of sevenless) complex formation in MCF-7 cells and ERalpha can mediate the rapid effects of E2 on Shc, MAPK, Elk-1, and morphological changes in breast cancer cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in breast cancer.

TL;DR: Direct experimental data demonstrate that the pressure of estradiol deprivation results in the upregulation of MAP kinase in breast cancer cells growing in tissue culture and as xenografts, and larger numbers of patients must be studied for these results to achieve statistical significance.
