Multifaceted WNT Signaling at the Crossroads Between Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Autophagy in Glioblastoma

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2020
Tumor cells can employ epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) or autophagy in reaction to microenvironmental stress. Importantly, EMT and autophagy negatively regulate each other, are able to interconvert, and both have been shown to contribute to drug ...

TORC1 specifically inhibits microautophagy through ESCRT-0 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Nutrient starvation induces the degradation of specific plasma membrane proteins through the multivesicular body (MVB) sorting pathway and of vacuolar membrane proteins through microautophagy. Both of these processes require the gateway protein Vps27,

Targeted for destruction: degradation of singlet oxygen-damaged chloroplasts

open access: yesPlant Signaling & Behavior, 2022
Photosynthesis is an essential process that plants must regulate to survive in dynamic environments. Thus, chloroplasts (the sites of photosynthesis in plant and algae cells) use multiple signaling mechanisms to report their health to the cell.

AMPK and vacuole-associated Atg14p orchestrate μ-lipophagy for energy production and long-term survival under glucose starvation

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Dietary restriction increases the longevity of many organisms, but the cell signaling and organellar mechanisms underlying this capability are unclear. We demonstrate that to permit long-term survival in response to sudden glucose depletion, yeast cells ...

Hsc70-4 Deforms Membranes to Promote Synaptic Protein Turnover by Endosomal Microautophagy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
SummarySynapses are often far from their cell bodies and must largely independently cope with dysfunctional proteins resulting from synaptic activity and stress.

Membrane recruitment of Atg8 by Hfl1 facilitates turnover of vacuolar membrane proteins in yeast cells approaching stationary phase

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2021
Background The vacuole/lysosome is the final destination of autophagic pathways, but can also itself be degraded in whole or in part by selective macroautophagic or microautophagic processes.

Autophagy in Atherosclerotic Plaque Cells: Targeting NLRP3 Inflammasome for Self-Rescue

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a lipid-driven disorder of the artery intima characterized by the equilibrium between inflammatory and regressive processes. A protein complex called NLRP3 inflammasome is involved in the release of mature interleukin-1β (IL-1β ...

Advance of autophagy in chronic kidney diseases

open access: yesRenal Failure, 2017
Autophagy, a highly conserved mechanism for cell survival, emerges as an important pathway in many biological processes and diseases conditions. Studies of cultured renal cells, human kidney tissues and experimental animal models implicate that autophagy

Molecular determinants of the crosstalk between endosomal microautophagy and chaperone-mediated autophagy

open access: yesCell Reports, 2023
Summary: Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) and endosomal microautophagy (eMI) are pathways for selective degradation of cytosolic proteins in lysosomes and late endosomes, respectively. These autophagic processes share as a first step the recognition of
