Autophagy And Pulmonary Disease

Autophagy is an important process of cell self-renewal which relies onthe degradation of cytoplasmic protein or organelle of lysosome. It isclosely related with the physiological and pathological processes oforganism and it is also a basic biological phenomenon of eukaryocyte. Theunderstanding of autophagy has developed from morphological tomolecular biology. Autophagy is not only to participate in degradation ofamino acids and other substances, but also as an important part of cellprotective.Autophagy is involved in respiratory protection against externalinvasion.However, in the development of respiratory diseases and impairedautophagy have very closely connection.External factors lead to lack of orexcessive expression of autophagy can lead to the development of thedisease.In the pathogenesis of lung disease, autophagy and its protein playsa different role in the process of development of disease control.This paperfocuses on the application prospects of the relationship between autophagyand respiratory diseases and autophagy in the treatment of related diseasesin respiratory system.
