Unsaturated fatty acid-induced non-canonical autophagy: unusual? Or unappreciated?

چکیده

The breakdown of cellular components via autophagy is crucial for cellular homeostasis.In this issue of The EMBO Journal,Niso-Santano et al (2015) report the important observation that feeding cells with saturated or unsaturated fatty acids triggers mechanistically distinct autophagic responses. Feeding cells saturated fatty acid induced the canonical, BECN1/PI3K dependent autophagy pathway. Conversely,the unsaturated fatty acid oleate triggered autophagic responses that were independent of the BECN1/PI3K complex, but that required a functional Golgi system.

Unsaturated fatty acids induce non-canonical autophagy.

To obtain mechanistic insights into the cross talk between lipolysis and autophagy, two key metabolic responses to starvation, we screened the autophagy-inducing potential of a panel of fatty acids in human cancer cells. Both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids such as palmitate and oleate, respectively, triggered autophagy, but the underlying molecular mechanisms differed. Oleate, but not pa...

Novel inducers of BECN1-independent autophagy: cis-unsaturated fatty acids.

The induction of autophagy usually requires the activation of PIK3C3/VPS34 (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, catalytic subunit type 3) within a multiprotein complex that contains BECN1 (Beclin 1, autophagy related). PIK3C3 catalyzes the conversion of phosphatidylinositol into phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P). PtdIns3P associates with growing phagophores, which recruit components of the...

Differential roles of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids on autophagy and apoptosis in hepatocytes.

Fatty acid-induced lipotoxicity plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic liver disease. Saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids have differential effects on cell death and steatosis, but the mechanisms responsible for these differences are not known. Using cultured HepG2 cells and primary mouse hepatocytes, we found that unsaturated and saturated fatty acids different...

Toll-like receptor 7 affects the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Recently, a possible link between toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) and liver disease was suggested, although it was limited to fibrosis. Based on this report, we investigated whether TLR7 has a pivotal role in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The TLR7 signaling pathway, which is activated by imiquimod (TLR7 ligand) naturally, induced autophagy and released insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF...

Trehalose Neuroprotective Effects on the Substantia Nigra Dopaminergic Cells by Activating Autophagy and Non-canonical Nrf2 Pathways

Trehalose, as a natural disaccharide, is known as an autophagy inducer. The neuroprotectiveeffects of trehalose in the rat model of Parkinson′s disease were the aim of the present study.Parkinson′s disease model was induced by injecting 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in thestriatum of male Wistar rats. Apomorphine-induced behavior and substantia nigra neuronalcounts were app...
