2. Autophagy Phagy = eating/lysosomal degradation Autophagy = self-eating Mechanism of breakdown of cytoplasm within the lysosome Autophagy: a basic cellular process in eukaryotes 细胞在外界环境因素的影响下，对其内部受损的细胞器、错误折叠的蛋白质及侵入其内的病原体进行降解的过程。

4. 发现

5. 发现 • 比利时科学家Christian de Duve在上世纪50年代通过电镜观察到自噬体结构，并且在 1963 年溶酶体国际会议上首先提出了“自噬”这种说法。因此Christian de Duve被公认为自噬研究的鼻祖。Christian de Duve 也因发现溶酶体，于1974年获得诺贝尔奖。 • “细胞自噬研究”是2013年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖预测的热门领域。

6. Autophagy: target • Autophagic targets range in size and complexity • Individual long-lived macromolecules • Whole organelles • Microbial invaders

7. Autophagy: purposes • (a) quality control of disused or defunct organelles such as irreversibly depolarized or leaky mitochondria; • (b) removal of toxic macromolecular aggregates too large for handling by smaller capacity or single-molecule-handling proteolytic systems of the cell (e.g. proteasome);

8. Autophagy: purposes • (c) digestion of bulk cytoplasm expressly to replenish amino acids and energy during starvation or growth factor withdrawal; • (d) acting on or in concert with the molecular machineries and organelles at the interface between cell survival and cell death • (e) controlling and acting as an effector or a regulator of innate and adaptive immunity and inflammation,

9. Autophagy: Function • The principal role of Autophagy this ubiquitous eukaryotic homeostatic mechanism is to ensure cell survival under adverse conditions • nutrient absence, • growth factor withdrawal • accumulation of toxic protein aggregates • Faulty organelles (e.g., leaky mitochondria) • infection by intracellular

10. Autophagy Regulation • Highly conserved and regulated process that maintains cellular homeostasis and protects cells against starvation and microbe invasion

11. Autophagy: Function • The physiologic and pathophysiologic roles of autophagy (and defects in autophagy) are vast, encompassing • Cancer • Neurodegeneration • metabolic diseases • Aging • Immunity.

12. Autophagy • Autophagosome: A double membrane bound compartment that engulfs cytosol and degrades the cytoplasmic contents. • Large: 400-1500 nm • May originate from ER or from fusion of lipid-containing vesicles that form ‘sequestration crescent’.

13. Autophagy：type

14. Autophagy：type • 根据自噬对底物的选择性可以将自噬可以分为二类：选择性自噬和非选择性自噬。 • 非选择性自噬是指细胞内的细胞器随机运送到溶酶体降解。 • 选择性自噬是指对降解的底物蛋白有专一性，根据对底物蛋白选择性的不同，可以分为线粒体自噬，过氧化物体自噬、内质网自噬、核糖体自噬和细胞核的碎片状自噬等。

15. 细胞自噬途径

16. Autophagy genes • Based on S. cerevisiae yeast studies. • ATG in yeast, homologs in other species.

18. Three Stages • Initiation: nutrient starvation, growth factor-mediated starvation • Elongation • Maturation

20. Autophagy signaling

21. Induction • 外部因素 • 营养缺乏 • 激素 • 内部因素 • 细胞器损伤 • 异常成分积聚或必需成分存在 • 病原体

25. Elongation • Covalent linkage of Atg5 and Atg12 • Covalent lipidation of Atg8 • Enzymes Atg3, Atg7, and Atg10 are homologs of ubiquitylation enzymes but are used to modify pathway components instead of labeling them for degradation.

26. Maturation • GTPases (Rab24) mediate vesicle fusion. • Intermediate autophagosomes • Fuse with endosomal vesicles. • Acquire LAMP, accumulate DAMP proteins. • Mature autolysosomes • Fuse with lysosomes. • Acquire cathepsins and acid phosphatases.
