Involvement of Autophagic Machinery in Neuropathogenesis : Targeting and Relevant Methods of Detection
© 2024. Springer Science+Business Media, LLC..
The exquisite balance between cellular prosurvival and death pathways is extremely necessary for homeostasis. Different forms of programmed cell death have been widely studied and reported such as apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and autophagy. Autophagy is a catabolic process important for normal cellular functioning. The main aim of this machinery is to degrade the misfolded or damaged proteins, unuseful organelles, and pathogens, which invade the cells, thereby maintaining cellular homeostasis and assuring the regular renewal of cell components. This prosurvival function of autophagy highlights its importance in many human diseases, as the disturbance of this tightly organized process ultimately causes detrimental effects. Interestingly, neurons are particularly susceptible to damage upon the presence of any alteration in the basal level of the autophagic activity; this could be due to their high metabolic demand, post-mitotic nature, and the contribution of autophagy in the different fundamental functions of neurons. Herein, we have reported the role of autophagy in different CNS disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and epilepsy, besides the pharmacological agents targeting autophagy. Due to the significant contribution of autophagy in the pathogenesis of many diseases, it is crucial to develop effective methods to detect this dynamic process. In this chapter, we have summarized the most frequently employed techniques in studying and detecting autophagy including electron microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, Western blotting, intracellular protein degradation, and sequestration assay.
