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

Defective inflammatory response in interleukin 6-deficient mice.

TL;DR: It is reported here that in the absence of IL- 6, mice are unable to mount a normal inflammatory response to localized tissue damage generated by turpentine injection, and IL-6 is identified as an essential mediator of the inflammatoryresponse to localized inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-1 and tumour necrosis factor induce hepatic haem oxygenase. Feedback regulation by glucocorticoids.

TL;DR: The results suggest that HO activity is increased during an IL-1- or TNF-mediated acute-phase response, so haem metabolism might be a potential target of inflammation, and HO induction by IL- 1 and TNF does not require glucocorticoids, which in fact act as antagonists of this cytokine-induced effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytokine induction of haem oxygenase mRNA in mouse liver. Interleukin 1 transcriptionally activates the haem oxygenase gene.

TL;DR: Results indicate that enzymic haem catabolism in the liver is a process inducible in vivo by inflammatory cytokines, which up-regulate HO synthesis at the transcriptional level.
