Autophagy mediated by ROS-AKT-FoxO pathway is required for intestinal regeneration in echinoderms by Chuili Zeng, Ming Guo, Ke Xiao, Chenghua Li

“…The dephosphorylated AjFoxO then entered the nucleus, interacted with the promoters of AjATG4 and AjLC3, and regulated autophagy levels by mediating the transcription of autophagy-related genes AjATG4 and AjLC3, thereby regulating intestinal regeneration probably via ROS-AjAKT-AjFoxO-AjATG4/AjLC3 pathway. The figure was constructed by FigDraw ( www.figdraw.com/ID:rrPwA263e3 ).…”
