SIRT1 is activated by AMPK- mediated increases in nicotinamide, and it drives the ALN by inhibiting mTORC1, inducing FOXO1 and FOXO3 and activating key regulatory proteins such as ATG5, ATG7 and LC3. PubMed:30116051
Compromised macroautophagy, via the genetic suppression of Atg7, leads to the blockade of Aβ secretion and contributes to the subsequent diminution in extracellular Aβ plaque load PubMed:29758300
As mentioned above, dramatic illustration of the interrelatedness of the UPS and autophagy was provided by characterizations of mice with conditional knockout of the essential autophagy genes Atg5 or Atg7 in the central nervous system, which resulted in neurodegeneration with accumulation of ubiquitin-positive pathology [36,37].
