Autophagy Pathway Assay (CAT#: STEM-MB-0322-WXH)

Introduction

Autophagy is the natural, conserved degradation of the cell that removes unnecessary or dysfunctional components through a lysosome-dependent regulated mechanism. It allows the orderly degradation and recycling of cellular components. Although initially characterized as a primordial degradation pathway induced to protect against starvation, it has become increasingly clear that autophagy also plays a major role in the homeostasis of non-starved cells. Defects in autophagy have been linked to various human diseases, including neurodegeneration and cancer, and interest in modulating autophagy as a potential treatment for these diseases has grown rapidly.

Principle

Regulatory pathways of autophagy signaling pathway:
Autophagy that relies on the mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) pathway
PI3K-AKT-mTOR signal pathway
AMPK-TSC1/2-mTOR signal pathway
Other signal pathways
3-Methyladenine (3-MA) inhibits autophagy by inhibiting the activity of Class Ⅲ PI3K.
Beclin1 and UVRAG act as positive regulators, and the anti-apoptotic factor bcl-2 as negative regulators participate in the formation of Class Ⅲ PI3 complex to regulate autophagy.
GTP-bound G protein subunit Gαi3 inhibits autophagy; GDP-bound Gαi3 protein activates autophagy.
Death-associated protein linase (DAPK) and DAPK-related protein kinase-1 (DRP-1) induce autophagy.

Applications

To study the regulation mechanism of autophagy signal pathway in disease
