Abstract
Autophagy is a regulated intracellular catabolic process by which invading pathogens, damaged organelles, aggregated proteins, and other macromolecules are degraded in lysosomes. It has been widely appreciated that autophagic activity plays an important role in regulating the development, fate determination, and function of cells in the immune system, including B lymphocytes. Autophagy encompasses several distinct pathways that have been linked to B cell homeostasis and function. While B cell presentation of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-restricted cytosolic antigens to T cells involves both macroautophagy and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), plasma cells and memory B cells mainly rely on macroautophagy for their survival. Emerging evidence indicates that core autophagy factors also participate in processes related to yet clearly distinct from classical autophagy. These autophagy-related pathways, referred to as noncanonical autophagy or conjugation of ATG8 to single membranes (CASM), contribute to B cell homeostasis and functions, including MHC class II-restricted antigen presentation to T cells, germinal center formation, plasma cell differentiation, and recall responses. Dysregulation of B cell autophagy has been identified in several autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. In this review, we discuss recent advances in understanding the role of canonical and noncanonical autophagy in B cells, including B cell development and maturation, antigen processing and presentation, pathogen-specific antibody responses, cytokine secretion, and autoimmunity. Unraveling the molecular mechanisms of canonical and noncanonical autophagy in B cells will improve our understanding of B cell biology, with implications for the development of autophagy-based immunotherapies.

Abstract
The identification and characterization of noncanonical functions within the autophagy pathway have unveiled intricate cellular processes, including LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP) and LC3-associated endocytosis (LANDO). These phenomena play pivotal roles in the conjugation of ATG8 with single-membrane phagosomes and endosomes, shedding light on the dynamic interplay between autophagy and cellular homeostasis. Here, we present detailed protocols for both qualitative and quantitative assessment of LAP, including immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and Western blotting of isolated LAPosomes. Additionally, the protocol for the evaluation of LANDO through immunofluorescent detection of receptor recycling is outlined. The methodologies presented herein serve as a practical guide for researchers seeking to unravel the intricacies of LAP and LANDO. By providing step-by-step instructions, accompanied by insights into potential challenges and optimization strategies, this chapter aims to empower investigators in the exploration of these noncanonical functions of autophagy proteins.

Abstract
Mitochondria are maternally inherited, but the mechanisms underlying paternal mitochondrial elimination after fertilization are far less clear. Using Drosophila, we show that special egg-derived multivesicular body vesicles promote paternal mitochondrial elimination by activating an LC3-associated phagocytosis-like pathway, a cellular defense pathway commonly employed against invading microbes. Upon fertilization, these egg-derived vesicles form extended vesicular sheaths around the sperm flagellum, promoting degradation of the sperm mitochondrial derivative and plasma membrane. LC3-associated phagocytosis cascade of events, including recruitment of a Rubicon-based class III PI(3)K complex to the flagellum vesicular sheaths, its activation, and consequent recruitment of Atg8/LC3, are all required for paternal mitochondrial elimination. Finally, lysosomes fuse with strings of large vesicles derived from the flagellum vesicular sheaths and contain degrading fragments of the paternal mitochondrial derivative. Given reports showing that in some mammals, the paternal mitochondria are also decorated with Atg8/LC3 and surrounded by multivesicular bodies upon fertilization, our findings suggest that a similar pathway also mediates paternal mitochondrial elimination in other flagellated sperm-producing organisms.

Streptococcus pneumoniae extracellular vesicles aggravate alveolar epithelial barrier disruption via autophagic degradation of OCLN (occludin). Autophagy 2024; 20:1577-1596. [PMID: 38497494 PMCID: PMC11210924 DOI: 10.1080/15548627.2024.2330043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) represents a major human bacterial pathogen leading to high morbidity and mortality in children and the elderly. Recent research emphasizes the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in bacterial pathogenicity. However, the contribution of S. pneumoniae EVs (pEVs) to host-microbe interactions has remained unclear. Here, we observed that S. pneumoniae infections in mice led to severe lung injuries and alveolar epithelial barrier (AEB) dysfunction. Infections of S. pneumoniae reduced the protein expression of tight junction protein OCLN (occludin) and activated macroautophagy/autophagy in lung tissues of mice and A549 cells. Mechanically, S. pneumoniae induced autophagosomal degradation of OCLN leading to AEB impairment in the A549 monolayer. S. pneumoniae released the pEVs that could be internalized by alveolar epithelial cells. Through proteomics, we profiled the cargo proteins inside pEVs and found that these pEVs contained many virulence factors, among which we identified a eukaryotic-like serine-threonine kinase protein StkP. The internalized StkP could induce the phosphorylation of BECN1 (beclin 1) at Ser93 and Ser96 sites, initiating autophagy and resulting in autophagy-dependent OCLN degradation and AEB dysfunction. Finally, the deletion of stkP in S. pneumoniae completely protected infected mice from death, significantly alleviated OCLN degradation in vivo, and largely abolished the AEB disruption caused by pEVs in vitro. Overall, our results suggested that pEVs played a crucial role in the spread of S. pneumoniae virulence factors. The cargo protein StkP in pEVs could communicate with host target proteins and even hijack the BECN1 autophagy initiation pathway, contributing to AEB disruption and bacterial pathogenicity.Abbreviations: AEB: alveolarepithelial barrier; AECs: alveolar epithelial cells; ATG16L1: autophagy related 16 like 1; ATP:adenosine 5'-triphosphate; BafA1: bafilomycin A1; BBB: blood-brain barrier; CFU: colony-forming unit; co-IP: co-immunoprecipitation; CQ:chloroquine; CTRL: control; DiO: 3,3'-dioctadecylox-acarbocyanineperchlorate; DOX: doxycycline; DTT: dithiothreitol; ECIS: electricalcell-substrate impedance sensing; eGFP: enhanced green fluorescentprotein; ermR: erythromycin-resistance expression cassette; Ery: erythromycin; eSTKs: eukaryotic-like serine-threoninekinases; EVs: extracellular vesicles; HA: hemagglutinin; H&E: hematoxylin and eosin; HsLC3B: human LC3B; hpi: hours post-infection; IP: immunoprecipitation; KD: knockdown; KO: knockout; LAMP1: lysosomal associated membrane protein 1; LC/MS: liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry; MAP1LC3/LC3: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3; MVs: membranevesicles; NC:negative control; NETs:neutrophil extracellular traps; OD: optical density; OMVs: outer membrane vesicles; PBS: phosphate-buffered saline; pEVs: S.pneumoniaeextracellular vesicles; protK: proteinase K; Rapa: rapamycin; RNAi: RNA interference; S.aureus: Staphylococcusaureus; SNF:supernatant fluid; sgRNA: single guide RNA; S.pneumoniae: Streptococcuspneumoniae; S.suis: Streptococcussuis; TEER: trans-epithelium electrical resistance; moi: multiplicity ofinfection; TEM:transmission electron microscope; TJproteins: tight junction proteins; TJP1/ZO-1: tight junction protein1; TSA: tryptic soy agar; WB: western blot; WT: wild-type.

Acta Pharm Sin B 2024; 14:2815-2853.

Abstract
Regulated cell death (RCD) is a controlled form of cell death orchestrated by one or more cascading signaling pathways, making it amenable to pharmacological intervention. RCD subroutines can be categorized as apoptotic or non-apoptotic and play essential roles in maintaining homeostasis, facilitating development, and modulating immunity. Accumulating evidence has recently revealed that RCD evasion is frequently the primary cause of tumor survival. Several non-apoptotic RCD subroutines have garnered attention as promising cancer therapies due to their ability to induce tumor regression and prevent relapse, comparable to apoptosis. Moreover, they offer potential solutions for overcoming the acquired resistance of tumors toward apoptotic drugs. With an increasing understanding of the underlying mechanisms governing these non-apoptotic RCD subroutines, a growing number of small-molecule compounds targeting single or multiple pathways have been discovered, providing novel strategies for current cancer therapy. In this review, we comprehensively summarized the current regulatory mechanisms of the emerging non-apoptotic RCD subroutines, mainly including autophagy-dependent cell death, ferroptosis, cuproptosis, disulfidptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, alkaliptosis, oxeiptosis, parthanatos, mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT)-driven necrosis, entotic cell death, NETotic cell death, lysosome-dependent cell death, and immunogenic cell death (ICD). Furthermore, we focused on discussing the pharmacological regulatory mechanisms of related small-molecule compounds. In brief, these insightful findings may provide valuable guidance for investigating individual or collaborative targeting approaches towards different RCD subroutines, ultimately driving the discovery of novel small-molecule compounds that target RCD and significantly enhance future cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a prominent cause of various chronic metabolic hepatic diseases with limited therapeutics. Rubicon, an essential regulator in lysosomal degradation, is reported to exacerbate hepatic steatosis in NAFLD mice and patients, indicating its probability of being a therapeutic target for NAFLD treatment. In this study, the therapeutic potential of Rubicon blockage is investigated. Lipid nanoparticles carrying Rubicon-specific CRISPR-Cas9 components exhibited liver accumulation, cell internalization, and Rubicon knockdown. A single administration of the nanoparticles results in attenuated lipid deposition and hepatic steatosis, with lower circulating lipid levels and decreased adipocyte size in NAFLD mice. Furthermore, the increase of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine levels can be observed in the NAFLD mice livers after Rubicon silencing, along with regulatory effects on metabolism-related genes such as CD36, Gpcpd1, Chka, and Lpin2. The results indicate that knockdown of Rubicon improves glycerophospholipid metabolism and thereby ameliorates the NAFLD progression, which provides a potential strategy for NAFLD therapy via the restoration of Rubicon.

Individual Atg8 paralogs and a bacterial metabolite sequentially promote hierarchical CASM-xenophagy induction and transition. Cell Rep 2024; 43:114131.

Abstract
Atg8 paralogs, consisting of LC3A/B/C and GBRP/GBRPL1/GATE16, function in canonical autophagy; however, their function is controversial because of functional redundancy. In innate immunity, xenophagy and non-canonical single membranous autophagy called "conjugation of Atg8s to single membranes" (CASM) eliminate bacteria in various cells. Previously, we reported that intracellular Streptococcus pneumoniae can induce unique hierarchical autophagy comprised of CASM induction, shedding, and subsequent xenophagy. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes and the biological significance of transient CASM induction remain unknown. Herein, we profile the relationship between Atg8s, autophagy receptors, poly-ubiquitin, and Atg4 paralogs during pneumococcal infection to understand the driving principles of hierarchical autophagy and find that GATE16 and GBRP sequentially play a pivotal role in CASM shedding and subsequent xenophagy induction, respectively, and LC3A and GBRPL1 are involved in CASM/xenophagy induction. Moreover, we reveal ingenious bacterial tactics to gain intracellular survival niches by manipulating CASM-xenophagy progression by generating intracellular pneumococci-derived H2O2.

Mol Cells 2024; 47:100066. [PMID: 38679413 PMCID: PMC11126928 DOI: 10.1016/j.mocell.2024.100066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) poses a serious threat to human health and is responsible for respiratory disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and skin disorders. 3-Bromo-4,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (3-BDB), abundant in marine red algae, exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic activities. In this study, we investigated the protective mechanisms of 3-BDB against PM2.5-induced cell cycle arrest and autophagy in human keratinocytes. Intracellular reactive oxygen species generation, DNA damage, cell cycle arrest, intracellular Ca2+ level, and autophagy activation were tested. 3-BDB was found to restore cell proliferation and viability which were reduced by PM2.5. Furthermore, 3-BDB reduced PM2.5-induced reactive oxygen species levels, DNA damage, and attenuated cell cycle arrest. Moreover, 3-BDB ameliorated the PM2.5-induced increases in cellular Ca2+ level and autophagy activation. While PM2.5 treatment reduced cell growth and viability, these were restored by the treatment with the autophagy inhibitor bafilomycin A1 or 3-BDB. The findings indicate that 3-BDB ameliorates skin cell death caused by PM2.5 via inhibiting cell cycle arrest and autophagy. Hence, 3-BDB can be exploited as a preventive/therapeutic agent for PM2.5-induced skin impairment.

[PMID: 38674078 PMCID: PMC11050548 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25084493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2024] [Revised: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Canonical autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that forms double-membrane structures and mediates the degradation of long-lived proteins (LLPs). Noncanonical autophagy (NCA) is an important alternative pathway involving the formation of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3)-positive structures that are independent of partial core autophagy proteins. NCA has been defined by the conjugation of ATG8s to single membranes (CASM). During canonical autophagy and NCA/CASM, LC3 undergoes a lipidation modification, and ATG16L1 is a crucial protein in this process. Previous studies have reported that the WDR domain of ATG16L1 is not necessary for canonical autophagy. However, our study found that WDR domain deficiency significantly impaired LLP degradation in basal conditions and slowed down LC3-II accumulation in canonical autophagy. We further demonstrated that the observed effect was due to a reduced interaction between ATG16L1 and FIP200/WIPI2, without affecting lysosome function or fusion. Furthermore, we also found that the WDR domain of ATG16L1 is crucial for chemical-induced NCA/CASM. The results showed that removing the WDR domain or introducing the K490A mutation in ATG16L1 significantly inhibited the NCA/CASM, which interrupted the V-ATPase-ATG16L1 axis. In conclusion, this study highlights the significance of the WDR domain of ATG16L1 for both canonical autophagy and NCA functions, improving our understanding of its role in autophagy.

[PMID: 38342329 DOI: 10.1016/j.trim.2024.102006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) can lead to acute kidney injury and result in high disability and mortality rates. Cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE)-produced hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been confirmed to play a protective role in renal IRI. While autophagy is involved in renal IRI, its role in the regulation by endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) has not been considered. Our study explored the role of CSE/H2S in protecting against renal IRI by regulating ERS-induced autophagy. METHODS C57/BL6 mice were subjected to 30-min renal ischemia followed by .24-h reperfusion injury (IRI). The H2S donor sodium hydrosulfide hydrate (NaHS) or the CSE inhibitor D,L-propargylglycine (PAG) was injected intraperitoneally (i.p) into the mice. Serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels were analyzed to evaluate renal function. Renal tubule epithelial cell damage was measured by HE and PAS staining. ERS and microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3) autophagy (LC3-I to LC3-II conversion) were analyzed by using western blotting. RESULTS In a C57/BL6 mouse model of acute renal IRI, the application of IRI impaired the renal function, which was accompanied by elevated serum creatinine (P < 0.001) and urea nitrogen levels (P < 0.001). While NaHS pretreatment dramatically attenuated renal IRI, PAG administration exacerbated renal IRI (P < 0.001). Furthermore, NaHS treatment inhibited the ERS-induced increased LC3II/I protein ratio (P < 0.001); increased Beclin-1 protein expression (P < 0.001); PAG pretreatment exacerbated the effects of ERS on both the LC3II/I ratio (P < 0.001) and the Beclin-1 protein expression (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the CSE/H2S system is an important therapeutic target for protecting against renal IRI, and it may protect renal tubule epithelial cells from IRI by suppressing ERS-induced autophagy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Growing evidence supports that dysfunctional autophagy, the major cell mechanism responsible for removing protein aggregates and a route of clearance for Tau in healthy neurons, is a major finding in demented Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. However, the association of autophagy with maintenance of cognitive integrity in resilient individuals who have AD neuropathology but remain non-demented (NDAN) has not been evaluated. METHODS Using post mortem brain samples from age-matched healthy control, AD, and NDAN subjects, we evaluated autophagy in relation to Tau pathology using Western blot, immunofluorescence and RNA-seq. RESULTS Compared to AD patients, NDAN subjects had preserved autophagy and reduced tauopathy. Furthermore, expression of autophagy genes and AD-related proteins were significantly associated in NDAN compared to AD and control subjects. DISCUSSION Our results suggest preserved autophagy is a protective mechanism that maintains cognitive integrity in NDAN individuals. This novel observation supports the potential of autophagy-inducing strategies in AD therapeutics. HIGHLIGHTS NDAN subjects have preserved autophagic protein levels comparable with control subjects. Compared to control subjects, NDAN subjects have significantly reduced Tau oligomers and PHF Tau phosphorylation at synapses that negatively correlate with autophagy markers. Transcription of autophagy genes strongly associates with AD-related proteins in NDAN donors.

A novel combination therapy with Cabozantinib and Honokiol effectively inhibits c-Met-Nrf2-induced renal tumor growth through increased oxidative stress. Redox Biol 2023; 68:102945. [PMID: 37898101 PMCID: PMC10628632 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2023.102945] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), c-Met, is overexpressed and hyper active in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Most of the therapeutic agents mediate cancer cell death through increased oxidative stress. Induction of c-Met in renal cancer cells promotes the activation of redox-sensitive transcription factor Nrf2 and cytoprotective heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), which can mediate therapeutic resistance against oxidative stress. c-Met/RTK inhibitor, Cabozantinib, has been approved for the treatment of advanced RCC. However, acquired drug resistance is a major hurdle in the clinical use of cabozantinib. Honokiol, a naturally occurring phenolic compound, has a great potential to downregulate c-Met-induced pathways. In this study, we found that a novel combination treatment with cabozantinib + Honokiol inhibits the growth of renal cancer cells in a synergistic manner through increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS); and it significantly facilitates apoptosis-and autophagy-mediated cancer cell death. Activation of c-Met can induce Rubicon (a negative regulator of autophagy) and p62 (an autophagy adaptor protein), which can stabilize Nrf2. By utilizing OncoDB online database, we found a positive correlation among c-Met, Rubicon, p62 and Nrf2 in renal cancer. Interestingly, the combination treatment significantly downregulated Rubicon, p62 and Nrf2 in RCC cells. In a tumor xenograft model, this combination treatment markedly inhibited renal tumor growth in vivo; and it is associated with decreased expression of Rubicon, p62, HO-1 and vessel density in the tumor tissues. Together, cabozantinib + Honokiol combination can significantly inhibit c-Met-induced and Nrf2-mediated anti-oxidant pathway in renal cancer cells to promote increased oxidative stress and tumor cell death.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of misfolded amyloid-beta and tau proteins. Autophagy acts as a proteostasis process to remove protein clumps, although it progressively weakens with aging and AD, thus facilitating the accumulation of toxic proteins and causing neurodegeneration. This review examines the impact of impaired autophagy on the progression of AD disease pathology. Under normal circumstances, autophagy removes abnormal proteins and damaged organelles, but any dysfunction in this process can lead to the exacerbation of amyloid and tau pathology, particularly in AD. There is increasing attention to therapeutic tactics to revitalize autophagy, including reduced caloric intake, autophagy-stimulating drugs, and genetic therapy. However, the translation of these strategies into clinical practice faces several hurdles. In summary, this review integrates the understanding of the intricate role of autophagy dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease progression and reinforces the promising prospects of autophagy as a beneficial target for treatments to modify the course of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Multiple genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have reproducibly identified the MTMR3/HORMAD2/LIF/OSM locus to be associated with IgA nephropathy (IgAN). However, the causal variant(s), implicated gene(s), and altered mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we performed fine-mapping analyses based on GWAS datasets encompassing 2762 IgAN cases and 5803 control individuals, and identified rs4823074 as the candidate causal variant that intersects the MTMR3 promoter in B-lymphoblastoid cells. Mendelian randomization studies suggested the risk allele may modulate disease susceptibility by affecting serum IgA levels through increased MTMR3 expression. Consistently, elevated MTMR3 expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was observed in patients with IgAN. Further mechanistic studies in vitro demonstrated that MTMR3 increased IgA production dependent upon its phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate binding domain. Moreover, our study provided the in vivo functional evidence that Mtmr3-/- mice exhibited defective Toll Like Receptor 9-induced IgA production, glomerular IgA deposition, as well as mesangial cell proliferation. RNA-seq and pathway analyses showed that MTMR3 deficiency resulted in an impaired intestinal immune network for IgA production. Thus, our results support the role of MTMR3 in IgAN pathogenesis by enhancing Toll Like Receptor 9-induced IgA immunity.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles, such as exosomes, can be used as interesting models to study the structure and function of biological membranes as these vesicles contain only one membrane (i.e., one lipid bilayer). In addition to lipids, they contain proteins, nucleic acids, and various other molecules. The lipid composition of exosomes is here compared to HIV particles and detergent-resistant membranes, which also have a high content of sphingolipids, cholesterol, and phosphatidylserine (PS). We discuss interactions between the lipids in the two bilayers, and especially those between PS 18:0/18:1 in the inner leaflet and the very-long-chain sphingolipids in the outer leaflet, and the importance of cholesterol for these interactions. We also briefly discuss the involvement of ether-linked phospholipids (PLs) in such lipid raft-like structures, and the possible involvement of these and other lipid classes in the formation of exosomes. The urgent need to improve the quality of quantitative lipidomic studies is highlighted.

Abstract
Autophagy disorders prominently affect the brain, entailing neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative phenotypes in adolescence or aging, respectively. Synaptic and behavioral deficits are largely recapitulated in mouse models with ablation of autophagy genes in brain cells. Yet, the nature and temporal dynamics of brain autophagic substrates remain insufficiently characterized. Here, we immunopurified LC3-positive autophagic vesicles (LC3-pAVs) from the mouse brain and proteomically profiled their content. Moreover, we characterized the LC3-pAV content that accumulates after macroautophagy impairment, validating a brain autophagic degradome. We reveal selective pathways for aggrephagy, mitophagy, and ER-phagy via selective autophagy receptors, and the turnover of numerous synaptic substrates, under basal conditions. To gain insight into the temporal dynamics of autophagic protein turnover, we quantitatively compared adolescent, adult, and aged brains, revealing critical periods of enhanced mitophagy or degradation of synaptic substrates. Overall, this resource unbiasedly characterizes the contribution of autophagy to proteostasis in the maturing, adult, and aged brain.

Abstract
The deleterious effects of aflatoxins, especially aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) which are widespread at all stages of food production, on the reproductive system have been widely reported in males. However, it is still far from fully understood about the toxic effect and molecular mechanism after exposure to AFB1 in various testicular cells, especially Sertoli cells (SCs) which provide various energy materials and support to the developing germ cells as nurse cells. In this work, we examined the effects of AFB1 in dairy goat SCs on lactate production and autophagy, and the role of autophagy on AFB1-induced reduction in lactate production. Mechanistically, AFB1 destroyed the energy balance and reduced the secretion of lactate in dairy goat SCs (P < 0.01), resulting in a reduced level of ATP (P < 0.01) and phosphorylation of AMPK (P < 0.01). Subsequently, activated AMPK triggers autophagy by directly phosphorylating ULK1 (P < 0.05). The enhancement of autophagy partially reversed the AFB1-induced decrease in lactate secretion by promoting glucose utilization (P < 0.01) and increasing the expression of proteins related to lactate secretion in dairy goat SCs (P < 0.05) such as GLUT1, GLUT3, LDHA, and MCT4. Collectively, our study suggests that AFB1 inhibits the secretion of lactate which supply for germ cell development by damaging the "Warburg-like" metabolism of dairy goat SCs. Moreover, autophagy contributes to the resistance of glucose metabolism damage induced by AFB1.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the main cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide, and there is a lack of effective treatment strategies. Autophagy is a highly conserved lysosomal degradation process that maintains homeostasis and energy balance by removing protein aggregates and damaged organelles. Increasing evidence suggests that dysregulated autophagy may contribute to glomerular and tubulointerstitial lesions in the kidney under diabetic conditions. Emerging studies have shown that Chinese herbal medicine and its active compounds may ameliorate diabetic kidney injury by regulating autophagy. In this review, we summarize that dysregulation or insufficiency of autophagy in renal cells, including podocytes, glomerular mesangial cells, and proximal tubular epithelial cells, is a key mechanism for the development of DKD, and focus on the protective effects of Chinese herbal medicine and its active compounds. Moreover, we systematically reviewed the mechanism of autophagy in DKD regulated by Chinese herb compound preparations, single herb and active compounds, so as to provide new drug candidates for clinical treatment of DKD. Finally, we also reviewed the candidate targets of Chinese herbal medicine regulating autophagy for DKD. Therefore, further research on Chinese herbal medicine with autophagy regulation and their targets is of great significance for the realization of new targeted therapies for DKD.
