Figure 1.Diversified downstream effects of autophagy.Autophagy plays
an important role in energy homeostasis and quality control of
macromolecules at the basal level or occurs during long-term exposure to
oxidative stress. On the other hand, in response to acute cytotoxic
stresses (e.g. oncogenic stress), autophagy might contribute to the
expression of some proteins together with epigenetic transcriptional regulation.
