Autophagy in T-cell differentiation, survival and memory.
2020
Over the past decade, autophagy has emerged as a critical regulatory mechanism of the immune system through critically controlling various aspects of T cell biology and determining the fate of different T cell subsets. Autophagy maintains T cell development and survival via regulating the degradation of organelles and apoptotic proteins. The autophagic process also impacts the formation of memory T cells. Alteration of autophagy in T cells may lead to a variety of pathological conditions such as inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. In this review, we discuss how autophagy impacts T cell differentiation, survival, and memory, and its implication in immunotherapy for various diseases.
