Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Recently, Autophagy is implicated in nearly all steps of both innate and adaptive immune responses, including neutrophil extracellular trap and inflammasome formation, pathogen recognition, lymphocyte and monocyte development and function, antigen processing and presentation, type I interferon production and inflammatory regulation, thus playing an important part in maintaining the balance of immune system.
Autophagy is divided into three major types: macroautophagy, microautophagy, and chaperone-mediated autophagy, with macroautophagy being the most investigated and understood. Disturbances in autophagy have been implicated in chronic inflammatory diseases and several autoimmune diseases, including Systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis.
Several regulatory factors that may play key roles in autophagy processes have been discovered in recent years, such as beclin1, which is the key regulatory factor in the autophagy startup process, microtubule-associated protein-light chain 3, autophagy-related gene 5, which are components of autophagosomes.
