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

Sulforaphane-induced Cell Death in Human Prostate Cancer Cells Is Initiated by Reactive Oxygen Species

TL;DR: The results of the present study indicate that SFN-induced apoptosis in prostate cancer cells is initiated by ROS generation and that both intrinsic and extrinsic caspase cascades contribute to the cell death caused by this highly promising cancer chemopreventive agent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glucose deprivation-induced oxidative stress in human tumor cells. A fundamental defect in metabolism?

TL;DR: It is proposed that intracellular oxidation/reduction reactions involving hydroperoxides and thiols may provide a mechanistic link between metabolism, signal transduction, and gene expression in these human tumor cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of low dose quercetin: cancer cell-specific inhibition of cell cycle progression.

TL;DR: It is proved that the chemo‐preventive efficacy of a physiologically relevant dose of quercetin can be achievable through the inhibition of cell cycle progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

S-Glutathiolation of Ras Mediates Redox-sensitive Signaling by Angiotensin II in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

TL;DR: The results show that H2O2 from NAD(P)H oxidase forms GSS-Ras on Cys118 and increases its activity leading to p38 and Akt phosphorylation, which contributes to the induction of protein synthesis.
