A coherent FOXO3-SNAI2 feed-forward loop in autophagy

Abstract excerpt

Significance Understanding autophagy regulation is instrumental in developing therapeutic interventions for autophagy-associated disease. Here, we identified SNAI2 as a regulator of autophagy from a genome-wide screen in HeLa cells. Upon energy stress, SNAI2 is transcriptionally activated by FOXO3 and interacts with FOXO3 to form a feed-forward regulatory loop to reinforce the expression of autophagy genes. Of...
