摘要: 肥胖的核心机制为能量摄入与消耗的长期失衡。促进白色脂肪组织棕色化并维持棕色脂肪组织活性以增强能量消耗,已成为肥胖及相关代谢性疾病干预的重要策略。自噬作为细胞内的重要降解途径,通过线粒体自噬、脂噬以及分子伴侣介导的自噬等形式调控脂肪组织可塑性,相关机制研究近年来受到广泛关注。线粒体自噬主要经由PINK1/Parkin通路以时相依赖性方式调控线粒体质量,影响脂肪棕色化进程与棕色脂肪组织活性维持。脂噬受下丘脑POMC神经元–外周神经轴调控,与溶酶体酸性脂肪酶介导的脂解途径协同促进脂滴降解,为线粒体β-氧化提供底物,支持适应性产热。分子伴侣介导的自噬依赖LAMP2A以温度依赖性方式选择性降解产热调控因子,实现对产热程序的调控。上述三种形式共同构成自噬调控脂肪组织产热的分子网络,为开发靶向自噬的肥胖及相关代谢性疾病精准干预策略提供了理论框架。
Abstract: Obesity results from a chronic imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. Promoting white adipose tissue browning and maintaining brown adipose tissue activity to enhance energy expenditure has emerged as an important therapeutic strategy for obesity and related metabolic diseases. Autophagy, a core intracellular degradation pathway, regulates adipose tissue plasticity through three selective forms: mitophagy, lipophagy, and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), and the underlying mechanisms have attracted considerable attention in recent years. Mitophagy modulates mitochondrial quality mainly via the PINK1/Parkin pathway in a time-dependent manner, thereby influencing white adipose tissue browning and brown adipose tissue activity maintenance. Lipophagy is regulated by the hypothalamic POMC neuron-peripheral neural axis and cooperates with lysosomal acid lipase-mediated lipolytic pathways to promote lipid droplet degradation, providing substrates for mitochondrial β-oxidation to support adaptive thermogenesis. CMA relies on LAMP2A to selectively degrade thermoregulatory factors in a temperature-dependent manner and regulates thermogenic programs. Together, these three selective autophagic forms constitute a molecular network that regulates thermogenesis in adipose tissue, providing a theoretical framework for developing precision therapeutic strategies targeting autophagy in obesity and associated metabolic diseases.
