    Abstract Age-related human pathologies present with a multitude of molecular and metabolic phenotypes, which individually or synergistically contribute to tissue degeneration. However, current lack of understanding of the interdependence of these molecular pathologies limits the potential range of existing therapeutic intervention strategies. In our study, we set out to understand the chain of molecular events, which underlie the loss of cellular viability in macroautophagy/autophagy deficiency associated with aging and age-related disease. We discover a novel axis linking autophagy, a cellular waste disposal pathway, and a metabolite, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). The axis connects multiple organelles, molecules and stress response pathways mediating cellular demise when autophagy becomes dysfunctional. By elucidating the steps on the path from efficient mitochondrial recycling to NAD maintenance and ultimately cell viability, we highlight targets potentially receptive to therapeutic interventions in a range of genetic and age-related diseases associated with autophagy dysfunction.

    Abstract Autophagy is an intracellular degradation pathway essential for cellular and energy homoeostasis. It functions in the clearance of misfolded proteins and damaged organelles, as well as recycling of cytosolic components during starvation to compensate for nutrient deprivation. This process is regulated by mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin)-dependent and mTOR-independent pathways that are amenable to chemical perturbations. Several small molecules modulating autophagy have been identified that have potential therapeutic application in diverse human diseases, including neurodegeneration. Neurodegeneration-associated aggregation-prone proteins are predominantly degraded by autophagy and therefore stimulating this process with chemical inducers is beneficial in a wide range of transgenic disease models. Emerging evidence indicates that compromised autophagy contributes to the aetiology of various neurodegenerative diseases related to protein conformational disorders by causing the accumulation of mutant proteins and cellular toxicity. Combining the knowledge of autophagy dysfunction and the mechanism of drug action may thus be rational for designing targeted therapy. The present review describes the cellular signalling pathways regulating mammalian autophagy and highlights the potential therapeutic application of autophagy inducers in neurodegenerative disorders.

    Abstract Autophagy is a cellular degradation process involved in the clearance of aggregate-prone proteins associated with neurodegenerative diseases. While the mTOR pathway has been known to be the major regulator of autophagy, recent advancements into the regulation of autophagy have identified mTOR-independent autophagy pathways that are amenable to chemical perturbations. Several chemical and genetic screens have been undertaken to identify small molecule and genetic regulators of autophagy, respectively. The small molecule autophagy enhancers offer great potential as therapeutic candidates not only for neurodegenerative diseases, but also for diverse human diseases where autophagy acts as a protective pathway. This review highlights the various chemical screening platforms for autophagy drug discovery pertinent for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

    Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) comprise conditions with impaired neuronal function and loss and may be associated with a build-up of aggregated proteins with altered physicochemical properties (misfolded proteins). There are many disorders, and causes include gene mutations, infections, or exposure to toxins. The autophagy pathway is involved in the removal of unwanted proteins and organelles through lysosomes. While lysosomal storage disorders have been described for many years, it is now recognised that perturbations of the autophagy pathway itself can also lead to neurodegenerative disease. These include monogenic disorders of key proteins involved in the autophagy pathway, and disorders within pathways that critically control autophagy through monitoring of the supply of nutrients (mTORC1 pathway) or of energy supply in cells (AMPK pathway). This review focuses on childhood-onset neurodegenerative disorders with perturbed autophagy, due to defects in the autophagy pathway, or in upstream signalling via mTORC1 and AMPK. The review first provides a short description of autophagy, as related to neurons. It then examines the extended role of autophagy in neuronal function, plasticity, and memory. There follows a description of each step of the autophagy pathway in greater detail, illustrated with examples of diseases grouped by the stage of their perturbation of the pathway. Each disease is accompanied by a short clinical description, to illustrate the diversity but also the overlap of symptoms caused by perturbation of key proteins necessary for the proper functioning of autophagy. Finally, there is a consideration of current challenges that need addressing for future therapeutic advances.

    Abstract Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved catabolic pathway for the degradation of cytoplasmic constituents in eukaryotic cells. It is the primary disposal route for selective removal of undesirable cellular materials like aggregation-prone proteins and damaged organelles for maintaining cellular homeostasis, and for bulk degradation of intracellular macromolecules and recycling the breakdown products for providing energy homeostasis during starvation. These functions of autophagy are attributed to cellular survival and thus pertinent for human health; however, malfunction of this process is detrimental to the cells, particularly for post-mitotic neurons. Thus, basal autophagy is vital for maintaining neuronal homeostasis, whereas autophagy dysfunction contributes to neurodegeneration. Defective autophagy has been demonstrated in several neurodegenerative diseases wherein pharmacological induction of autophagy is beneficial in many of these disease models. Elucidating the mechanisms underlying defective autophagy is imperative for the development of therapies targeting this process. Disease-affected human neuronal cells can be established from patient-derived human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) that provide a clinically relevant platform for studying disease mechanisms and drug discovery. Thus, modeling autophagy dysfunction as a phenotypic readout in patient-derived neurons provides a more direct platform for investigating the mechanisms underlying defective autophagy and evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of autophagy inducers. Toward this, several hiPSC-derived neuronal cell models of neurodegenerative diseases have been employed. In this review, we highlight the key methodologies pertaining to hiPSC maintenance and neuronal differentiation, and studying autophagy at an endogenous level in hiPSC-derived neuronal cells.
