Abstract
Autophagy is a highly conserved biological process in eukaryotes, which degrades cellular misfolded proteins, damaged organelles and invasive pathogens in the lysosome-dependent manner. Autoimmune diseases caused by genetic elements, environments and aberrant immune responses severely impact patients' living quality and even threaten life. Recently, numerous studies have reported autophagy can regulate immune responses, and play an important role in autoimmune diseases. In this review, we summarised the features of autophagy and autophagy-related genes, enumerated some autophagy-related genes involved in autoimmune diseases, and further overviewed how to treat autoimmune diseases through targeting autophagy. Finally, we outlooked the prospect of relieving and curing autoimmune diseases by targeting autophagy pathway.
期刊介绍：
Autoimmunity is an international, peer reviewed journal that publishes articles on cell and molecular immunology, immunogenetics, molecular biology and autoimmunity. Current understanding of immunity and autoimmunity is being furthered by the progress in new molecular sciences that has recently been little short of spectacular. In addition to the basic elements and mechanisms of the immune system, Autoimmunity is interested in the cellular and molecular processes associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren syndrome, type I diabetes, multiple sclerosis and other systemic and organ-specific autoimmune disorders. The journal reflects the immunology areas where scientific progress is most rapid. It is a valuable tool to basic and translational researchers in cell biology, genetics and molecular biology of immunity and autoimmunity.
