Background: Atg14 is critical for the autophagy initiation. Results: Our data show that the Atg14 gene can be regulated by FoxO and Clock transcription factors, and it has striking impacts on hepatic autophagy and triglycerides. Conclusion: Atg14 is controlled by FoxOs and circadian rhythms, and it modulates hepatic lipid homeostasis. Significance: These findings suggest that Atg14 is crucial for hepatic autophagy and lipid metabolism. Autophagy plays a critical role in cell survival from…

Deacetylation of FoxO by Sirt1 Plays an Essential Role in Mediating Starvation-Induced Autophagy in Cardiac Myocytes

It is suggested that Sirt1-mediated deacetylation of FoxO1 and upregulation of Rab7 play an important role in mediating starvation-induced increases in autophagic flux, which in turn plays an essential role in maintaining left ventricular function during starvation.

FoxO Transcription Factors Promote Autophagy in Cardiomyocytes*

Evidence is provided for an important role for FoxO1 and FoxO3 in regulating autophagy and cell size in cardiomyocytes and in vivo studies show that cellular stress, such as starvation or ischemia/reperfusion in mice, results in induction ofAutophagy in the heart with concomitant dephosphorylation of FoxO, consistent with increased activity of nuclear FoxO transcription factors.

E2F1 regulates autophagy and the transcription of autophagy genes

It is shown here that activation of E2F1 upregulates the expression of four autophagy genes—microtubule-associated protein-1 light chain-3 (LC3), Autophagy-related gene-1 (ATG1), ATG1, ATG5 and damage-regulated autophagic modulator (DRAM) and for the first time, a role for E2f1 in DNA damage-inducedAutophagy is established.
