War on Viruses: LC3 Recruits GTPases [PDF]
Interferon effector functions and autophagy are evolutionarily conserved arms of cell-autonomous immunity that restrict replication of intracellular pathogens. In this issue of Cell Host and Microbe, Biering et al., (2017) demonstrate how host cells co-opt sequential action of autophagy proteins and IFN-inducible GTPases to inhibit replication of ...

Autophagy generates citrullinated peptides in human synoviocytes: a possible trigger for anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Autophagy may represent a functional processing event that creates a substrate for autoreactivity. In particular, autophagy may play a role in the pathogenesis of RA, since autophagy is a key cellular event involved in the generation of ...

LC3 and STRAP regulate actin filament assembly by JMY during autophagosome formation. [PDF]
During autophagy, actin filament networks move and remodel cellular membranes to form autophagosomes that enclose and metabolize cytoplasmic contents. Two actin regulators, WHAMM and JMY, participate in autophagosome formation, but the signals linking ...

Regulation of autophagy-related gene expressions by Trans-chalcone in the lungs of adult male rats [PDF]
Background. Autophagy is responsible for maintaining cellular homeostasis by degrading and recycling macromolecules and unwanted intracellular components, such as damaged organelles.

Niclosamide Triggers Non-Canonical LC3 Lipidation [PDF]
Autophagy is a highly- evolutionarily-conserved catabolic pathway activated by various cellular stresses. Recently, non-canonical autophagy (NCA), which does not require all of the ATG proteins to form autophagosome or autophagosome-like structures, has been found in various conditions.

Alpha-mangostin decreases high glucose-induced damage on human umbilical vein endothelial cells by increasing autophagic protein expression [PDF]
Objective(s): Diabetes is a chronic disorder that occurs as a result of impaired glucose metabolism. In hyperglycaemic states, the balance between oxidative stress and antioxidant enzymes is disrupted leading to oxidative damage and cell death.

CD4 T lymphocyte autophagy is upregulated in the salivary glands of primary Sjögren’s syndrome patients and correlates with focus score and disease activity [PDF]
Background: Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a common chronic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands and peripheral lymphocyte perturbation.

p62/SQSTM1 droplets initiate autophagosome biogenesis and oxidative stress control
Selective autophagy contributes to the degradation of condensates, such as sequestosome 1-bodies, also called p62/SQSTM1-bodies. We showed that endogenous p62 forms gel-like structures, which serve as platforms for autophagosome formation and nuclear ...
