Definitions
- Autophagy is a central cellular mechanism for elimination of damaged proteins, protein complexes, and organelles. This conserved process plays crucial roles in the cellular response to nutrient deprivation and other stresses, in addition to being required for proper cellular and tissue homeostasis during embryonic development and in defense against pathogens. Defects in autophagy pathways are associated with certain human pathologies, including infectious diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer. In spite of these highly conserved fundamental cellular functions, the molecular and biochemical details of how autophagy is initiated for different cargoes, and the coordination of steps starting from autophagosome initiation to ultimate fusion with the lysosome remain poorly understood.

- Autophagy In certain instances, autophagy is a cellular response to loss of nutrients in which cells catabolize various proteins and organelles to provide building blocks and critical metabolites needed for cell survival. In some instances, autophagy plays an important homeostatic role in many tissues by removing protein aggregates and defective organelles that accumulate with cellular damage over time.
- autophagy In healthy individuals, normal autophagy is, in certain instances, an important process for balancing sources of energy at critical times in development and in response to nutrient stress. In certain instances, autophagy also plays a housekeeping role in removing misfolded or aggregated proteins, clearing damaged organelles, such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and peroxisomes, as well as eliminating intracellular pathogens. Thus, autophagy is often thought of as a survival mechanism In various instances, autophagy is either non-selective or selective in the removal of specific organelles, ribosomes and protein aggregates.
- autophagy promotes cellular senescence and cell surface antigen presentation, protects against genome instability and prevents or inhibits necrosis, giving it an important role in preventing, treating, or inhibiting diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration, cardiomyopathy, diabetes, liver disease, autoimmune diseases and infections.
- defects in autophagy pathways are associated with a number of human pathologies, including infectious diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer.
- the role of autophagy differs in different stages of cancer development; for example, in some instances, initially, autophagy has a preventive effect against cancer, but once a tumor develops, the cancer cells, in certain instances, utilize autophagy for their own cytoprotection.
- the mutations that cause uncontrolled cell growth which results in the formation of tumors or other cancerous tissue also effectuates changes in autophagy. In some instances, these changes in the autophagic pathways in the cancer cells results in increased survivability and durability of cancer cells.
- the therapeutics rather than killing the cancer cells, the therapeutics merely have the effect of arresting cancer tissue growth, with the cancer tissue entering a cystostatic phase upon treatment. Consequently, in some instances, the cancerous tissue is not killed during treatment, the growth is simply arrested. Upon cessation of treatment, the cancerous tissue is able to resume growth, thus increasing symptoms and complications for the patient.
- the addition of a therapeutic that disrupts autophagy has the effect of converting the cytostatic response of the cancer cells to cancer cell death.
- the changes in autophagy caused by the cancer are important for the survival of the cancer cells.
- these cells rely on autophagy to properly regulate the consumption of nutrients to ensure the survival of the cells in conditions that would cause the death of a healthy cel
- methods of inhibiting autophagy in cells present, in certain instances, a method of treating cancer without the need of an additional cancer therapeutic.
- methods of inhibiting autophagy in cells present, in certain instances, a method of treating cancer without the need of an additional cancer therapeutic.

- ULK1 and/or ULK2 are activated under conditions of nutrient deprivation by several upstream signals, which is followed by the initiation of autophagy.
- the requirement for ULK1 and/or ULK2 in autophagy initiation has been studied in the context of nutrient deprivation.
- ULK1 complex combining ULK1, ATG13, FIP200 (focal adhesion kinase family interacting protein of 200 kDa), and autophagy-related protein 101 (ATG101) is one of the first protein complexes that comes in to play in the initiation and formation of autophagosomes when an autophagic response is initiated.
- ULK1 is considered to be unique as a core conserved component of the autophagy pathway which is a serine/threonine kinase, making it a particularly unique target of opportunity for the development of compounds to control autophagy.
- mice genetically engineered to completely lack ULK1 are viable without significant pathology.
- a ULK1 selective kinase inhibitor is well tolerated by normal tissues, but not by tumor cells that have become reliant on ULK1 mediated autophagy for survival.
- ULK2 takes over the functional role of ULK1 when ULK1 function has been inhibited.
