    • In 2008 we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, research on this topic has continued to accelerate, and many new scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Accordingly, it is important to update these guidelines for monitoring autophagy in different organisms. Various reviews have described the range of assays that have been used for this purpose. Nevertheless, there continues to be confusion regarding acceptable methods to measure autophagy, especially in multicellular eukaryotes. A key point that needs to be emphasized is that there is a difference between measurements that monitor the numbers or volume of autophagic elements (e.g., autophagosomes or autolysosomes) at any stage of the autophagic process vs. those that measure flux through the autophagy pathway (i.e., the complete process); thus, a block in macroautophagy that results in autophagosome accumulation needs to be differentiated from stimuli that result in increased autophagic activity, defined as increased autophagy induction coupled with increased delivery to, and degradation within, lysosomes (in most higher eukaryotes and some protists such as Dictyostelium) or the vacuole (in plants and fungi). In other words, it is especially important that investigators new to the field understand that the appearance of more autophagosomes does not necessarily equate with more autophagy. In fact, in many cases, autophagosomes accumulate because of a block in trafficking to lysosomes without a concomitant change in autophagosome biogenesis, whereas an increase in autolysosomes may reflect a reduction in degradative activity. Here, we present a set of guidelines 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. These guidelines are not meant to be a formulaic set of rules, because the appropriate assays depend in part on the question being asked and the system being used. In addition, we emphasize that no individual assay is guaranteed to be the most appropriate one in every situation, and we strongly recommend the use of multiple assays to monitor autophagy. In these guidelines, we consider these various methods of assessing autophagy and what information can, or cannot, be obtained from them. Finally, by discussing the merits and limits of particular autophagy assays, we hope to encourage technical innovation in the field.

  • Extending the cystatin C based EKFC-equation to children - validation results from Europe.
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, West). - 0931-041X .- 1432-198X.
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND: A new cystatin C based European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFCCysC) equation was recently developed for adults, using the same mathematical form as the previously published full age spectrum creatinine based EKFC-equation (EKFCCrea). In the present study the cystatin C based EKFC-equation is extended to children, by defining the appropriate cystatin C rescaling factor QCysC.METHODS: Rescaling factor QCysC for cystatin C was defined as: a) 0.83 mg/L, exactly as it was defined for young adults in the adult equation, and b) a more complex QCysC-age relationship based on 4th degree cystatin C-age polynomials after evaluation of data from Uppsala, Stockholm and Canada and aggregated data from Germany. The EKFCCysC equation was then validated in an independent dataset in European children (n = 2,293) with measured GFR, creatinine, cystatin C, age, height and sex available.RESULTS: The EKFCCysC with the simple QCysC-value of 0.83 had a bias of -7.6 [95%CI -8.4;-6.5] mL/min/1.73 m2 and a P30-value of 85.8% [95%CI 84.4;87.3] equal to the EKFCCysC with the more complex 4th degree QCysC-value. The arithmetic mean of the EKFCCrea and EKFCCysC with the simple QCysC of 0.83 had a bias of -4.0 [95%CI -4.5;-3.1] mL/min/1.73 m2 and P30 of 90.4% [95%CI 89.2;91.6] similar to using the more complex 4th degree QCysC-polynomial.CONCLUSION: Using exactly the same QCysC of 0.83 mg/L, the adult EKFCCysC can easily be extended to children, with some bias but acceptable P30-values. The arithmetic mean of EKFCCrea and EKFCCysC results in bias closer to zero and P30 slightly over 90%. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.
