Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disease characterized by cartilage degeneration. Autophagy is associated with chondrocyte homeostasis and exhibits a role in protecting against OA pathogenesis. Geniposide (GEN), an iridoid glycoside extracted from Eucommia ulmoides Oliv, acts as an activator of GLP-1R, which can stimulate autophagy. The AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway participates in the mediation of autophagy, and GLP-1R may act as an upstream factor of AMPK. However, whether GEN mediates the autophagic responses by activating the GLP-1R/AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway in OA chondrocytes is still unclear. In the current study, attenuated autophagy in MIA-induced rat OA models was observed, as shown by up-regulated expression of p62 and down-regulated expression of Beclin-1 and LC3-II/I. GEN stimulated autophagy and protected OA cartilage by up-regulating GLP-1R expression. In addition, GEN could enhance AMPK phosphorylation and down-regulate mTOR expression in IL-1β-treated C28/I2 cells. Inhibition of AMPK or activation of mTOR could reverse the stimulatory effects of GEN on autophagy. Furthermore, a GLP-1R inhibitor Exendin 9-39 could eliminate the chondroprotective effects of GEN by suppressing the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway. Conclusively, Geniposide exhibits protective effects against osteoarthritis development by stimulating autophagy via activating the GLP-1R/AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway.

Abstract
Encystment is crucial for defense and reproduction in Cryptocaryon irritans. Therefore, understanding the encystment-related events in the protomont stage can help prevent and control C. irritans. Autophagy promotes protozoan parasite encystation. However, 3MA can inhibit autophagy. In this study, the effects of autophagy inhibition on encystation, survival rate, ultrastructural features, and metabolomic profiles of C. irritans, were evaluated using protomonts treated with 3MA (20 mM). The treatment with 3MA for about 4 h significantly lowered survival and encystation rates of protomonts to about 86.44% and 76.08%, respectively. Microstructural observations showed that the 3MA-treated protomonts showed deformed cell membranes and the cytoplasmic content spill. Furthermore, observation of the ultrastructure of 3MA-treated protomonts showed the destruction of organelles (Golgi bodies and mucocyst) and a lack of autophagosomes. However, no abnormality was observed in the control experiments. Furthermore, the metabolic analysis revealed suppression of metabolites, such as lipids, amino acids, and carbohydrates. These results demonstrate that 3MA can inhibit autophagy in C. irritans, thus hindering encystation, suppressing the metabolism of metabolites, and altering morphological ultrastructure in these parasites.

Abstract
Encystation in Cryptocaryon irritans is a fundamental process for environmental resistance and development. Autophagy participates in the encystation of ciliates, and rapamycin can induce autophagy in the cells. A set of genes and metabolites related to autophagy and encystation are highly elaborative. The existence of these genes and metabolites and their role are well characterized. However, little is known about their role in protozoans such as ciliates. The newly produced C. irritans protomonts were exposed to an optimal concentration of rapamycin (1400 nM), and the survival, encystation, microstructure/ultrastructure, transcriptomic and metabolomic profile in treated and control protomonts were investigated. The results showed that exposure of protomonts to rapamycin at 4 h significantly lowered the survival and encystation rates to 91.62 % and 98.44 % compared to the control group (100 %, p ≤ 0.05). Morphological alterations observed in light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrated that the drug significantly changed cell symmetry by causing the formation of various autophagic vacuoles/vesicles. The transcriptome sequencing of rapamycin-treated protomont revealed that 2249 (1837 up-regulated and 977 down-regulated) differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis showed that 226 DEGs were successfully annotated in 21 pathways (p˂0.05), including most enriched pathways apoptosis and phagosome with 25 and 24 DEGs, respectively. Most unigenes were assigned to autophagy-related pathways; 24 DEGs were classified into phagosomes, and 15 DEGs were assigned to lysosome pathways. Cytoskeleton and cell progression-associated genes were down-regulated. Besides, cell death-inducing proteins were up-regulated. The metabolomic analysis revealed exposure to rapamycin treatment enhanced protomont metabolites, including L-Cysteine, which is related to autophagy. Rapamycin had influenced the gene and metabolites of protomont; activating autophagy with inhibition of mechanistic target of rapamycin, (mTOR). The process negatively influences protomont morphology, encystation, and survival. Further autophagy-related gene silencing can be investigated via genome sequencing of C. irritans to study encystation.

Abstract
Autophagy, as a fundamental mechanism for cellular homeostasis, is generally involved in the occurrence and progression of various diseases. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common musculoskeletal disease that often leads to pain, disability and economic loss in patients. Post-traumatic OA (PTOA) is a subtype of OA, accounting for >12% of the overall burden of OA. PTOA is often caused by joint injuries including anterior cruciate ligament rupture, meniscus tear and intra-articular fracture. Although a variety of methods have been developed to treat acute joint injury, the current measures have limited success in effectively reducing the incidence and delaying the progression of PTOA. Therefore, the pathogenesis and intervention strategy of PTOA need further study. In the past decade, the roles and mechanisms of autophagy in PTOA have aroused great interest in the field. It was revealed that autophagy could maintain the homeostasis of chondrocytes, reduce joint inflammatory level, prevent chondrocyte death and matrix degradation, which accordingly improved joint symptoms and delayed the progression of PTOA. Moreover, many strategies that target PTOA have been revealed to promote autophagy. In this review, we summarize the roles and mechanisms of autophagy in PTOA and the current strategies for PTOA treatment that depend on autophagy regulation, which may be beneficial for PTOA patients in the future.

Abstract
Two autophagy-related (ATG) ubiquitin-like conjugation systems, the ATG12 and ATG8 systems, play important roles in macroautophagy. While multiple duplications and losses of the ATG conjugation system proteins are found in different lineages, the extent to which the underlying systems diversified across eukaryotes is not fully understood. Here, in order to understand the evolution of the ATG conjugation systems, we constructed a transcriptome database consisting of 94 eukaryotic species covering major eukaryotic clades and systematically identified ATG conjugation system components. Both ATG10 and the C-terminal glycine of ATG12 are essential for the canonical ubiquitin-like conjugation of ATG12 and ATG5. However, loss of ATG10 or the C-terminal glycine of ATG12 occurred at least 16 times in a wide range of lineages, suggesting that possible covalent-to-non-covalent transition is not limited to the species that we previously reported such as Alveolata and some yeast species. Some species have only the ATG8 system (with conjugation enzymes) or only ATG8 (without conjugation enzymes). More than 10 species have ATG8 homologs without the conserved C-terminal glycine, and Tetrahymena has an ATG8 homolog with a predicted transmembrane domain, which may be able to anchor to the membrane independent of the ATG conjugation systems. We discuss the possibility that the ancestor of the ATG12 and ATG8 systems is more similar to ATG8. Overall, our study offers a whole picture of the evolution and diversity of the ATG conjugation systems among eukaryotes, and provides evidence that functional diversifications of the systems are more common than previously thought.Abbreviations: APEAR: ATG8-PE association region; ATG: autophagy-related; LIR: LC3-interacting region; NEDD8: neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally down-regulated gene 8; PE: phosphatidylethanolamine; SAMP: small archaeal modifier protein; SAR: Stramenopiles, Alveolata, and Rhizaria; SMC: structural maintenance of chromosomes; SUMO: small ubiquitin like modifier; TACK: Thaumarchaeota, Aigarchaeota, Crenarchaeota, and Korarchaeota; UBA: ubiquitin like modifier activating enzyme; UFM: ubiquitin fold modifier; URM: ubiquitin related modifier.

Abstract
Autophagy is a degradative pathway for cytoplasmic constituents, and is conserved across eukaryotes. Autophagy-related (ATG) genes have undergone extensive multiplications and losses in different eukaryotic lineages, resulting in functional diversification and specialization. Notably, even though bacteria and archaea do not possess an autophagy pathway, they do harbor some remote homologs of Atg proteins, suggesting that preexisting proteins were recruited when the autophagy pathway developed during eukaryogenesis. In this Review, we summarize our current knowledge on the distribution of Atg proteins within eukaryotes and outline the major multiplication and loss events within the eukaryotic tree. We also discuss the potential prokaryotic homologs of Atg proteins identified to date, emphasizing the evolutionary relationships and functional differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic proteins.

Abstract
Autophagy is a eukaryotic cellular machinery that is able to degrade large intracellular components, including organelles, and plays a pivotal role in cellular homeostasis. Target materials are enclosed by a double membrane vesicle called autophagosome, whose formation is coordinated by autophagy-related proteins (ATGs). Studies of yeast and Metazoa have identified approximately 40 ATGs. Genome projects for unicellular eukaryotes revealed that some ATGs are conserved in all eukaryotic supergroups but others have arisen or were lost during evolution in some specific lineages. In spite of an apparent reduction in the ATG molecular machinery found in parasitic protists, it has become clear that ATGs play an important role in stage differentiation or organelle maintenance, sometimes with an original function that is unrelated to canonical degradative autophagy. In this review, we aim to briefly summarize the current state of knowledge in parasitic protists, in the light of the latest important findings from more canonical model organisms. Determining the roles of ATGs and the diversity of their functions in various lineages is an important challenge for understanding the evolutionary background of autophagy.

Abstract
Autophagy is a highly evolutionarily conserved cellular catabolic process responsible for degradation of damaged organelles and long-lived proteins. It is not surprising that scientific interest in the connection of autophagy and diseases has been growing. Over the past 2 decades, many new experimental approaches have been emerging in the field of targeting autophagy for medicinal research. Interestingly, in addition to experimental methods, a number of databases, Web servers, mathematics models, omics approaches, and systems biology network approaches related to autophagy have become available online, which may be collectively considered to be "in silico autophagy methods" for expediting current medicinal research. Thus, we have summarized a series of relevant in silico autophagy approaches for promoting the most appropriate usage of these resources for potential therapeutic purposes.
