Abstract
- As an ancient intracellular degradation pathway, the autophagy lysosome pathway exists in various cells continuously and stably and maintains cellular homeostasis by degrading damaged organelles and misfolded proteins that are prejudicial to cells. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) including microparticles and exosomes, are derived from varieties of mammalian tissue cells such as platelets, endothelial cells, cardiomyocytes. Through large quantity of active substances carried by EVs, EVs exert momentous biological functions. Recent researches have revealed the molecular mechanism of the interaction between extracellular vesicles and autophagy. In this review, we first elaborate that extracellular vesicles are identified and internalized by target cells by means of receptor-ligand. Since extracellular vesicles contain multiple functional molecules, we subsequently describe the process of intracellular autophagy pathway induced by extracellular vesicles, which activates autophagy-related pathways or delivers autophagy-associated molecules. Finally, we introduced the effects of extracellular vesicle-induced autophagy on extracellular vesicles and target cells respectively. In conclusion, this article integrates relevant theoretical knowledge of autophagy caused by extracellular vesicles and provides a new direction for the study of extracellular vesicles in the future.<br />Competing Interests: None.
