“…In this setting autophagy mitigates ER stress caused by BRAF V600E inhibition, highlighting the additional importance of therapy-induced autophagy as a resistance mechanism (46). Indeed, there are other examples of therapy-induced autophagy functioning as a resistance mechanism, suggesting that augmentation of the anticancer activity of autophagy inhibitor therapeutics may be generally applicable (47)(48)(49)(50).…”

Autophagy is a tissue-specific regulator of homeostasis and survivalAutophagy captures and degrades intracellular components such as proteins and organelles to sustain metabolism and homeostasis. Low levels of basal autophagy prevent the gradual accumulation of damaged proteins and organelles in tissues that is toxic over time; thus, autophagy plays an important role in protein and organelle quality control (1). Identification of the autophagy substrates that are deregulated in autophagy-deficient cells and tissues is important to understand the biological role and tissue specificity of autophagy. Determination of the global impact of autophagy on the cellular proteome would be a significant advance, as we are only beginning to understand the broad scope of autophagy substrates and the functional consequence of deregulating their degradation and recycling.Some tissues such as liver, brain, and muscle are particularly dependent on autophagy to prevent the buildup of damaged mitochondria and protein aggregates containing the autophagy substrate p62/SQSTM1 (p62) and ubiquitin (1). Accumulation of defective mitochondria that results from impaired autophagy can perturb metabolism and generate oxidative stress (2). Autophagy also mitigates ER stress, and autophagy defects can produce accumulation of chaperone proteins that increase the unfolded protein burden (3, 4). Select protein elimination by autophagy is also important for homeostasis. The toxicity of autophagy defects in liver is partly ameliorated by deficiency in the autophagy substrate p62, but this is not the case for the brain (5, 6). The recent revelation that autophagy is important for recycling iron complexed with ferritin through ferritinophagy may be critical for iron homeostasis in many tissues, potentially including brain (7).The accumulation of, or imbalance in, levels of some cellular components caused by autophagy defects may be indirect. For example, lipid accumulation in autophagy-deficient liver and some lung tumors can arise from defects in the autophagy of lipid droplets through lipophagy (8) or indirectly from defects in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) that repress lipid catabolism (9). These findings collectively demonstrate the broad effects of autophagy on cellular homeostasis at the level of substrate removal, maintenance of organelle function, and detoxification. Thus, autophagy dependence is tissue specific, not only for the general requirement for the level of autophagic activity, but also for the nature of the substrates that require autophagy-mediated elimination or recycling.Acute autophagy induction is critical for yeast and normal mammalian cells and mammals to survive starvation, which is attributed to the recycling of intracellular components into metabolic pathways (2). Autophagy thereby functions to promote metabolic homeostasis and survival that is essential during nutrient deprivation. While it is generally appreciated that autophagy-mediated degradation of intracellular proteins and organelles provides metabolic s...

IntroductionCurrently, widely used antimalarial drugs have a limited clinical lifespan due to parasite resistance development. With resistance continuously rising, antimalarial drug discovery requires strategies to decrease the time of delivering a new antimalarial drug while simultaneously increasing the drug"s therapeutic lifespan. Areas coveredLessons learnt from various chemotherapeutic resistance studies in the fields of antibiotic and cancer research offer potentially useful strategies that can be applied to antimalarial drug discovery. In this review we discuss current strategies to circumvent resistance in malaria and alternatives that could be employed. Expert opinionWe have been "beating back" the malaria parasite with novel drugs for the past 49 years but the constant rise in antimalarial drug resistance is forcing the drug discovery community to explore alternative strategies. Avant-garde anti-resistance strategies from alternative fields may assist our endeavors to manage, control and prevent antimalarial drug resistance to progress beyond beating the resistant parasite back, to stopping it dead in its tracks. Here we investigate the 2 development of strategies that are able to either overwhelm or outwit the parasite in its attempts to develop resistance. Article Highlights box In most instances the malaria parasite develops drug resistance at a faster rate than a novel antimalarial drug can be developed. For antimalarial drug discovery to remain sustainable, the clinical lifespan of an antimalarial drug must as least exceed the time taken to develop the drug. Currently, antimalarial drug resistance is being controlled through the development of novel drugs, which are combined with an appropriate drug partner into a combination therapy. Polypharmacology (multitargeting) may be able to speed up the delivery of a novel antimalarial drug while simultaneously increasing the clinical lifespan of the drug. Unexplored targets such as the virulence potential, hijacked host factors and stress factors may deliver drugs that can effectively resist resistance. Other post-resistance strategies such as molecular decoys and chemogenomics may also prove valuable in curbing resistance.
