Autophagy: Basic Principles and Relevance to Disease
Abstract
Autophagy is a process by which cytoplasmic components are sequestered in double membrane vesicles and degraded upon fusion with lysosomal compartments. In yeast, autophagy is activated in response to changes in the extracellular milieu. Depending upon the stimulus, autophagy can degrade cytoplasmic contents nonspecifically or can target the degradation of specific cellular components. Both of these have been adopted in higher eukaryotes and account for the expanding role of autophagy in various cellular processes, as well as contribute to the variation in cellular outcomes after induction of autophagy. In some cases, autophagy appears to be an adaptive response, whereas under other circumstances it is involved in cell death. In mammals, autophagy has been implicated in either the pathogenesis or response to a wide variety of diseases, including neurodegenerative disease, chronic bacterial and viral infections, atherosclerosis, and cancer. As the basic molecular pathways that regulate autophagy are elucidated, the relationship of autophagy to the pathogenesis of various disease states emerges.

AMPK activation and mTOR inhibition are potent activators of autophagy.
“AMPK activation and mTOR inhibition are also both potent activators of autophagy, a catabolic process induced during starvation that promotes the degradation and recycling of cellular components [reviewed in detail in (24)].”

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.
