Introduction to Autophagy

Cancer, Other Pathologies, Inflammation, Immunity, Infection, and Aging, Volume 5

M.A. Hayat

Autophagy plays a direct or indirect role in health and disease. A simplified definition of autophagy is that it is an exceedingly complex process which degrades modified, superfluous (surplus) or damaged cellular macromolecules and whole organelles using hydrolytic enzymes in the lysosomes. It consists of sequential steps of induction of autophagy, formation of autophagosome precursor, formation of autophagosomes, fusion between autophagosome and lysosome, degradation of cargo contents, efflux transportation of degraded products to the cytoplasm, and lysosome reformation.

This chapter discusses specific functions of autophagy, the process of autophagy, major types of autophagy, influences on autophagy, and the role of autophagy in disease, immunity, and defense.

Introduction

Aging has so permeated our lives that it cannot be stopped, but it can be delayed. Under the circumstances, time is our only friend. Because the aging process is accompanied by disability and disease (for example, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s conditions) and cannot be prevented, it seems that slow aging is the only way to have a healthy longer life. In general, aging can be slowed down by not smoking or chewing tobacco, by preventing or minimizing perpetual stress (anger, competition), by abstinence from alcoholic beverages, by regular exercise, and by having a healthy diet. There is no doubt that regular physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of mortality and contributes to the primary and secondary prevention of many types of diseases. Discipline is required to attain this goal.

Regarding the role of a healthy diet, a caloric restriction induces autophagy that counteracts the development of age-related diseases and aging itself. On the other hand, autophagy is inhibited by high glucose and insulin-induced P13K signaling via Akt and mTOR. Based on its fundamental roles in these and other disease processes’ prevention and therapy, autophagy has emerged as a potential target for disease.

Unfortunately, inevitable death rules our lives, and a group of abnormal cells plays a part in it. Safe disposal of cellular debris is crucial to keep us alive and healthy. Our body uses autophagy and apoptosis as clearing mechanisms to eliminate malfunctioning, aged, damaged, excessive, and/or pathogen-infected cell debris that might otherwise be harmful/autoimmunogenic. However, if such a clearing process becomes uncontrollable, it can instead be deleterious. For example, deficits in protein clearance in brain cells because of dysfunctional autophagy may lead to dementia. Autophagy can also promote cell death through excessive self-digestion and degradation of essential cellular constituents.

Humans and other mammals with long lifespans unfortunately have to face the problem of the accumulation of somatic mutations over time. Although most of the mutations are benign and only some lead to disease, there are too many of them. Cancer is one of these major diseases, and is caused by a combination of somatic genetic alterations in a single cell, followed by uncontrolled cell growth and proliferation. Even a single germline deletion of or mutation in a tumor suppressor gene (e.g., p53) predisposes an individual to cancer. It is apparent that nature tries to ensure the longevity of the individual by providing tumor suppressor genes and other protective mechanisms. Autophagy (Beclin 1 gene) is one of these mechanisms that plays an important role in influencing the aging process.

Autophagy research is in an explosive phase, driven by a relatively new awareness of the enormously significant role it plays in health and disease, including cancer, other pathologies, inflammation, immunity, infection, and aging. The term autophagy (auto phagin, from the Greek meaning self-eating) refers to a phenomenon in which cytoplasmic components are delivered to the lysosomes for bulk or selective degradation under the lysosomes’ distinct intracellular and extracellular milieu. This term was first coined by de Duve over 46 years ago (Deter and de Duve, 1967), based on the observed degradation of mitochondria and other intracellular structures within lysosomes of rat liver perfused with the pancreatic hormone glucagon.

Over the past two decades an astonishing advance has been made in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the degradation of intracellular proteins in yeast vacuoles and the lysosomal compartment in mammalian cells. Advances in genome-scale approaches and computational tools have presented opportunities to explore the broader context in which autophagy is regulated at the systems level.

A simplified definition of autophagy is that it is an exceedingly complex process which degrades modified, superfluous (surplus), or damaged cellular macromolecules and whole organelles using hydrolytic enzymes in the lysosomes. Autophagy can be defined in more detail as a regulated process of degradation and recycling of cellular constituents participating in organelle turnover, resulting in the bioenergetic management of starvation. This definition, however, still represents only some of the numerous roles played by the autophagic machinery in mammals; most of the autophagic functions are listed later in this chapter.

Autophagy plays a constitutive and basally active role in the quality control of proteins and organelles, and is associated with either cell survival or cell death. Stress-responsive autophagy can enable adaptation and promote cell survival, whereas in certain models, autophagy has also been associated with cell death, representing either a failed attempt at survival or a mechanism that supports cell and tissue degradation. Autophagy prevents the accumulation of random molecular damage in long-lived structures, particularly mitochondria, and more generally provides a means to reallocate cellular resources from one biochemical pathway to another. Consequently, it is upregulated in conditions where a cell is responding to stress signals, such as starvation, oxidative stress, and exercise-induced adaptation. The balance between protein and lipid biosynthesis, and their eventual degradation and resynthesis, is one critical component of cellular health.

Degradation and recycling of macromolecules via autophagy provides a source of building blocks (amino acids, fatty acids, sugars) that allow temporal adaptation of cells to adverse conditions. In addition to recycling, autophagy is required for the degradation of damaged or toxic material that can be generated as a result of ROS accumulation during oxidative stress. The mitochondrial electron transport chain and the peroxisomes are primary sources of ROS production in most eukaryotes.

Specific Functions of Autophagy (A Summary)

Autophagy plays a direct or indirect role in health and disease, including, among others, control of embryonic and early postnatal development; tissue homeostasis (protein and cell organelle turnover); mitochondrial quality control; protection of cells from stresses; survival response to nutrient deprivation; cellular survival or physiological cell death...
