Autophagy as a promoter of longevity: insights from model organisms
Open accessAbstract
Autophagy is a conserved process that catabolizes intracellular components to maintain energy homeostasis and to protect cells against stress. Autophagy has crucial roles during development and disease, and evidence accumulated over the past decade indicates that autophagy also has a direct role in modulating ageing. In particular, elegant studies using yeasts, worms, flies and mice have demonstrated a broad requirement for autophagy-related genes in the lifespan extension observed in a number of conserved longevity paradigms. Moreover, several new and interesting concepts relevant to autophagy and its role in modulating longevity have emerged. First, select tissues may require or benefit from autophagy activation in longevity paradigms, as tissue-specific overexpression of single autophagy genes is sufficient to extend lifespan. Second, selective types of autophagy may be crucial for longevity by specifically targeting dysfunctional cellular components and preventing their accumulation. And third, autophagy can influence organismal health and ageing even non-cell autonomously, and thus, autophagy stimulation in select tissues can have beneficial, systemic effects on lifespan. Understanding these mechanisms will be important for the development of approaches to improve human healthspan that are based on the modulation of autophagy.

Autophagy activity has been linked to development and progression of a plethora of pathologies.
“Of note, since autophagy activity has been linked to development and progression of a plethora of pathologies [9–11], it becomes increasingly fundamental to develop new strategies for the prediction of a specific autophagy status and/or step [8].”

The ‘Genetic links of autophagy to ageing’ section discusses lysosomal dysfunction and neurodegenerative diseases, while ‘Nervous system’ discusses age-related memory impairment. Neither addresses whether many lysosomal storage disorders feature autism or intellectual disability.

Autophagy, particularly macroautophagy, plays an important role in retarding aging and aging-related disease.
“Because autophagy can remove damaged cell components that are associated with aging, this process, and particularly macrophagy, plays an important role in retarding aging and aging-related disease [128,129,130,131,132,133,134].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
