Family WD repeat ATG16 family
Function
Plays an essential role in both canonical and non-canonical autophagy: interacts with ATG12-ATG5 to mediate the lipidation to ATG8 family proteins (MAP1LC3A, MAP1LC3B, MAP1LC3C, GABARAPL1, GABARAPL2 and GABARAP). Acts as a molecular hub, coordinating autophagy pathways via distinct domains that support either canonical or non- canonical signaling. During canonical autophagy, interacts with ATG12-ATG5 to mediate the conjugation of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to ATG8 proteins, to produce a membrane-bound activated form of ATG8. Thereby, controls the elongation of the nascent autophagosomal membrane. Also involved in non-canonical autophagy, a parallel pathway involving conjugation of ATG8 proteins to single membranes at endolysosomal compartments, probably by catalyzing conjugation of phosphatidylserine (PS) to ATG8. Non-canonical autophagy plays a key role in epithelial cells to limit lethal infection by influenza A (IAV) virus. Regulates mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS)-dependent type I interferon (IFN-I) production. Negatively regulates NOD1- and NOD2-driven inflammatory cytokine response. Instead, promotes with NOD2 an autophagy-dependent antibacterial pathway. Plays a role in regulating morphology and function of Paneth cell.

In Vitro Model
hHSCs (Human hepatic stellate cells)
In Vivo Model
Fifty-six 8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were obtained from the Experimental Animal Center of Yangzhou University (Yangzhou, China). Controls underwent a sham operation that consisted of exposure, but not ligation, of the common bile duct. Erastin (30 mg/kg, once every other day) and sorafenib (10 mg/kg, once every other day) were suspended in sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; Sigma, P5368) and given by intraperitoneal injection for 2 weeks after the BDL operation. VA-Lip-control-vector and VA-Lip-Zfp36-plasmid (0.75 mg/kg) were administered intravenously 3 times a week for 2 weeks after the BDL operation.

Response regulation Sorafenib monotherapy led to ZFP36 downregulation, ferritinophagy activation, and ferroptosis induction in human HSCs. ATG16L1 plasmid eliminated the inhibitory action of ZFP36 plasmid on ferroptosis, and FBXW7 plasmid enhanced the effect of ATG16L1 plasmid on autophagy. ZFP36 plasmid markedly upregulated, whereas FBXW7 plasmid apparently downregulaed, ferritin and NCOA4 expression in sorafenib-treated HSC-LX2 cells. The study identified ZFP36-autophagy-dependent ferroptosis as a potential target for the treatment of liver fibrosis.
