Autophagy plays essential roles in the regulation of muscle mass, function and integrity. However, the molecular machinery that regulates autophagy is still incompletely understood. In our recent study, we identified and characterized a novel Forkhead Box O (FoxO)-dependent gene, PHAF1/MYTHO (phagophore assembly factor 1/macro-autophagy and youth optimizer), as a novel autophagy regulator that controls muscle integrity. MYTHO/PHAF1 is upregulated in multiple conditions leading to muscle atrophy, and downregulation of its expression spares muscle atrophy triggered by fasting, denervation, cachexia and sepsis. Overexpression of PHAF1/MYTHO is sufficient to induce muscle atrophy. Prolonged downregulation of PHAF1/MYTHO causes a severe myopathic phenotype, which is characterized by impaired autophagy, muscle weakness, myofiber degeneration, mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) hyperactivation and extensive ultrastructural defects, such as accumulation of proteinaceous and membranous structures and tubular aggregates. This myopathic phenotype is attenuated upon administration of the mTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin. These findings position PHAF1/MYTHO as a novel regulator of skeletal muscle autophagy and tissue integrity.</p>","PeriodicalId":8722,"journal":{"name":"Autophagy","volume":" ","pages":"965-967"},"PeriodicalIF":14.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11062385/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9624752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, the overactivation or sustained activation of STING1 has been closely associated with the onset of autoimmune disorders. Notably, the majority of these disorders manifest as an upregulated expression of type I interferons and IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). Hence, strict regulation of STING1 activity is paramount to preserve immune homeostasis. Here, we reported that CSNK1A1/CK1α, a serine/threonine protein kinase, was essential to prevent the overactivation of STING1-mediated type I IFN signaling through autophagic degradation of STING1. Mechanistically, CSNK1A1 interacted with STING1 upon the CGAS-STING1 pathway activation and promoted STING1 autophagic degradation by enhancing the phosphorylation of SQSTM1/p62 at serine 351 (serine 349 in human), which was critical for SQSTM1-mediated STING1 autophagic degradation. Consistently, SSTC3, a selective CSNK1A1 agonist, significantly attenuated the response of the CGAS-STING1 signaling by promoting STING1 autophagic degradation. Importantly, pharmacological activation of CSNK1A1 using SSTC3 markedly repressed the systemic autoinflammatory responses in the <i>trex1</i><sup><i>-/-</i></sup> mouse autoimmune disease model and effectively suppressed the production of IFNs and ISGs in the PBMCs of SLE patients. Taken together, our study reveals a novel regulatory role of CSNK1A1 in the autophagic degradation of STING1 to maintain immune homeostasis. Manipulating CSNK1A1 through SSTC3 might be a potential therapeutic strategy for alleviating STING1-mediated aberrant type I IFNs in autoimmune diseases.<b>Abbreviations:</b> BMDMs: bone marrow-derived macrophages; cGAMP: cyclic GMP-AMP; CGAS: cyclic GMP-AMP synthase; HTDNA: herring testes DNA; IFIT1: interferon induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 1; IFNA4: interferon alpha 4; IFNB: interferon beta; IRF3: interferon regulatory factor 3; ISD: interferon stimulatory DNA; ISGs: IFN-stimulated genes; MEFs: mouse embryonic fibroblasts; PBMCs: peripheral blood mononuclear cells; RSAD2: radical S-adenosyl methionine domain containing 2; SLE: systemic lupus erythematosus; STING1: stimulator of interferon response cGAMP interactor 1; TBK1: TANK binding kinase 1.</p>","PeriodicalId":8722,"journal":{"name":"Autophagy","volume":" ","pages":"311-328"},"PeriodicalIF":14.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10813568/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10314125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rhabdoviruses are single-stranded RNA viruses, and the infection causes serious harm to public health, livestock, and crop production. However, little is known about the role of autophagy in the defense against rhabdovirus infection by plant. In this work, we showed that <i>Rice stripe mosaic cytorhabdovirus</i>(RSMV) activated autophagy in plants and that autophagy served as an indispensable defense mechanism during RSMV infection. We identified RSMV glycoprotein as an autophagy inducer that interacted with OsSnRK1B and promoted the kinase activity of OsSnRK1B on OsATG6b. RSMV glycoprotein was toxic to rice cells and its targeted degradation by OsATG6b-mediated autophagy was essential to restrict the viral titer in plants. Importantly, SnRK1-glycoprotein and ATG6-glycoprotein interactions were well-conserved between several other rhabdoviruses and plants. Together, our data support a model that SnRK1 senses rhabdovirus glycoprotein for autophagy initiation, while ATG6 mediates targeted degradation of viral glycoprotein. This conserved mechanism ensures compatible infection by limiting the toxicity of viral glycoprotein and restricting the infection of rhabdoviruses.<b>Abbreviations:</b> AMPK: adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase; ANOVA: analysis of variance; ATG: autophagy related; AZD: AZD8055; BiFC: bimolecular fluorescence complementation; BYSMV: barley yellow striate mosaic virus; Co-IP: co-immunoprecipitation; ConA: concanamycin A; CTD: C-terminal domain; DEX: dexamethasone; DMSO: dimethyl sulfoxide; G: glycoprotein; GFP: green fluorescent protein; MD: middle domain; MDC: monodansylcadaverine; NTD: N-terminal domain; OE: over expression; Os: <i>Oryza sativa</i>; PBS: phosphate-buffered saline; PtdIns3K: class III phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase; qRT-PCR: quantitative real-time reverse-transcription PCR; RFP: red fluorescent protein; RSMV: rice stripe mosaic virus; RSV: rice stripe virus; SGS3: suppressor of gene silencing 3; SnRK1: sucrose nonfermenting1-related protein kinase1; SYNV: sonchus yellow net virus; TEM: transmission electron microscopy; TM: transmembrane region; TOR: target of rapamycin; TRV: tobacco rattle virus; TYMaV: tomato yellow mottle-associated virus; VSV: vesicular stomatitis virus; WT: wild type; Y2H: yeast two-hybrid; YFP: yellow fluorescent protein.</p>","PeriodicalId":8722,"journal":{"name":"Autophagy","volume":" ","pages":"275-294"},"PeriodicalIF":14.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10813567/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10577231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neuron-specific knockout of <i>Pa2g4</i> increased infarct volume and aggravated neuron loss with impaired mitophagy and was rescued by introduction of adeno-associated virus serotype 2 expressing PA2G4/EBP1.

The main pathophysiology of MS is myelin sheath damage by immune cells and a defect in the generation of myelin by oligodendrocytes. Macroautophagy/autophagy is a critical degradation process that eliminates dysfunctional or superfluous cellular components. Autophagy has the property of a double-edged sword in MS in that it may have both beneficial and detrimental effects on MS neuropathology. Therefore, this review illustrates the protective and harmful effects of autophagy with regard to this disease. Autophagy prevents the progression of MS by reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory disorders. In contrast, over-activated autophagy is associated with the progression of MS neuropathology and in this case the use of autophagy inhibitors may alleviate the pathogenesis of MS. Furthermore, autophagy provokes the activation of different immune and supporting cells that play an intricate role in the pathogenesis of MS. Autophagy functions in the modulation of MS neuropathology by regulating cell proliferation related to demyelination and remyelination. Autophagy enhances remyelination by increasing the activity of oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes. However, autophagy induces demyelination by activating microglia and T cells. In conclusion, specific autophagic activators of oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes, and specific autophagic inhibitors of dendritic cells (DCs), microglia and T cells induce protective effects against the pathogenesis of MS.<b>Abbreviations:</b> ALS: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; APCs: antigen-presenting cells; BBB: blood-brain barrier; CSF: cerebrospinal fluid; CNS: central nervous system; DCs: dendritic cells; EAE: experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis; ER: endoplasmic reticulum; LAP: LC3-associated phagocytosis; MS: multiple sclerosis; NCA: non-canonical autophagy; OCBs: oligoclonal bands; PBMCs: peripheral blood mononuclear cells; PD: Parkinson disease; ROS: reactive oxygen species; UPR: unfolded protein response.</p>","PeriodicalId":8722,"journal":{"name":"Autophagy","volume":" ","pages":"259-274"},"PeriodicalIF":14.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10813579/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10592207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
