TLDR
A nonexhaustive comparison of methods to detect cell death with apoptotic or nonapoptotic morphologies, their advantages and pitfalls is provided and the importance of performing multiple, methodologically unrelated assays to quantify dying and dead cells is emphasized.Abstract:
Cell death is essential for a plethora of physiological processes, and its deregulation characterizes numerous human diseases Thus, the in-depth investigation of cell death and its mechanisms constitutes a formidable challenge for fundamental and applied biomedical research, and has tremendous implications for the development of novel therapeutic strategies It is, therefore, of utmost importance to standardize the experimental procedures that identify dying and dead cells in cell cultures and/or in tissues, from model organisms and/or humans, in healthy and/or pathological scenarios Thus far, dozens of methods have been proposed to quantify cell death-related parameters However, no guidelines exist regarding their use and interpretation, and nobody has thoroughly annotated the experimental settings for which each of these techniques is most appropriate Here, we provide a nonexhaustive comparison of methods to detect cell death with apoptotic or nonapoptotic morphologies, their advantages and pitfalls These guidelines are intended for investigators who study cell death, as well as for reviewers who need to constructively critique scientific reports that deal with cellular demise Given the difficulties in determining the exact number of cells that have passed the point-of-no-return of the signaling cascades leading to cell death, we emphasize the importance of performing multiple, methodologically unrelated assays to quantify dying and dead cellsread more

TL;DR: Intratumoral injection of GO/CDDP into mice bearing CT26 colon tumors potentiated immune cell infiltration and promoted cell death, autophagy and HMGB1 release, thereby synergistically augmenting the antitumor effects.

Artesunate induces G2/M cell cycle arrest through autophagy induction in breast cancer cells.
TL;DR: It is found that artesunate inhibited the growth of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and indicated that the anticancer effects of ART were exerted through an autophagy pathway.

TL;DR: It is suggested that hydrolysis of components delivered to the vacuole independent of autophagy is the cell survival mechanism used by S. cerevisiae in response to glucose starvation.

TL;DR: It is found that sqst-1/p62 is required for hormetic benefits of heat shock, including longevity, improved neuronal proteostasis, and autophagy induction, and overexpression of SQST-1/, p62/SQSTM1 is sufficient to induceAutophagy in distinct tissues, extend lifespan, and improve the fitness of mutants with defects in proteostasi in an autophagic-dependent manner.

Identification of programmed cell death in situ via specific labeling of nuclear DNA fragmentation.
TL;DR: The extent of tissue-PCD revealed by this method is considerably greater than apoptosis detected by nuclear morphology, and thus opens the way for a variety of studies.

The Release of Cytochrome c from Mitochondria: A Primary Site for Bcl-2 Regulation of Apoptosis
TL;DR: In a cell-free apoptosis system, mitochondria spontaneously released cytochrome c, which activated DEVD-specific caspases, leading to fodrin cleavage and apoptotic nuclear morphology, and Bcl-2 acts to inhibit cy tochrome c translocation, thereby blocking caspase activation and the apoptotic process.

Glucocorticoid-induced thymocyte apoptosis is associated with endogenous endonuclease activation
TL;DR: It is shown here that this morphological change is closely associated with excision of nucleosome chains from nuclear chromatin, apparently through activation of an intracellular, but non-lysosomal, endonuclease.

TL;DR: The identification and cloning of an apoptosis-inducing factor, AIF, which is sufficient to induce apoptosis of isolated nuclei is reported, indicating that AIF is a mitochondrial effector of apoptotic cell death.

Mitochondrial Membrane Permeabilization in Cell Death
TL;DR: Once MMP has been induced, it causes the release of catabolic hydrolases and activators of such enzymes (including those of caspases) from mitochondria, meaning that mitochondria coordinate the late stage of cellular demise.
