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

Foxo Transcription Factors Induce the Atrophy-Related Ubiquitin Ligase Atrogin-1 and Cause Skeletal Muscle Atrophy

Marco Sandri, +9 more
- 30 Apr 2004 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that in cultured myotubes undergoing atrophy, the activity of the PI3K/AKT pathway decreases, leading to activation of Foxo transcription factors and atrogin-1 induction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fiber types in mammalian skeletal muscles.

Stefano Schiaffino, +1 more
- 01 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: Mammalian skeletal muscle comprises different fiber types, whose identity is first established during embryonic development by intrinsic myogenic control mechanisms and is later modulated by neural and hormonal factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

FoxO3 controls autophagy in skeletal muscle in vivo.

Cristina Mammucari, +12 more
- 05 Dec 2007 - 
TL;DR: FoxO3 controls the two major systems of protein breakdown in skeletal muscle, the ubiquitin-proteasomal and autophagic/lysosomal pathways, independently and is pointed to as potential therapeutic targets in muscle wasting disorders and other degenerative and neoplastic diseases in which autophagy is involved.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular diversity of myofibrillar proteins: gene regulation and functional significance

Stefano Schiaffino, +1 more
- 01 Apr 1996 - 
TL;DR: The pattern of isogene expression varies during muscle development in relation to the different origin of myogenic cells and primary/secondary fiber generations and is affected by neural and hormonal influences.
