Description
Abstract
y. Autophagy and apoptosis are two important
molecular mechanisms that maintain cellular
homeostasis under stress conditions. Autophagy
represents an intracellular mechanism responsible for
turnover of organelles and long-lived proteins through a
lysosome-dependent degradation pathway. Cell death
signals or sustained stress might trigger programmed cell
death pathways, and among them, apoptosis is the most
extensively studied one. Recent studies indicate the
presence of a complex interplay between autophagy and
apoptosis. Physiological relevance of autophagyapoptosis crosstalk was mainly shown in vitro. However,
in vivo consequences possibly exist both during health
and disease. In this review, we will summarize the
current knowledge about molecular mechanisms
connecting autophagy and apoptosis, and about the
significance of this crosstalk for human health.
