Abstract

Conventionally, autophagy (=self-eating) is thought to be a catabolic cellular process that is responsible for regulating cell homeostasis. However, the newly evidence have expanded the range of the impact of autophagy in biology. Autophagy interplays with endocytosis through shared factors such as phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase complex (PI(3)K complex), autophagy associated gene (Atg), and lysosome. Autophagy and phagocytosis orchestrate in maintaining homeostasis, in MHC class II antigen processing, in the removal of pathogens, in cell death, immunity, and inflammation. There are numerous cross talks of autophagy with biosynthetic processes such as conventional and unconventional secretion of biologically active cargo and trafficking of integral membrane proteins, as well as the exosome secretion. There are also links between autophagy and trafficking events from plasma membrane, including lateral plasma membrane proteins connexins, cell connections, and ciliogenesis.
