Autophagy contributes to cellular homeostasis in the face of nutrient deprivation and other cellular stresses. Cell type-specific functions for autophagy are critical in maintaining homeostasis at both the tissue level and at the whole-organism level. Recent work has highlighted the ways in which human genetic variants modulate autophagy to alter epithelial and immune responses in inflammatory bowel disease.
自噬有助于细胞在营养缺乏和其他细胞应激下维持细胞内环境稳定。自噬在组织和整体水平上维持内环境稳定方面具有细胞特异性功能。最近的研究强调了人类遗传变异如何调节自噬,从而改变炎症性肠病中的上皮和免疫反应。
