  • cAMP DEPENDENT INDUCTION OF AUTOPHAGY
    Publication number: 20100113379
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the induction of autophagy via mTOR independent pathways which modulated intracytosolic cAMP levels. In some embodiments, autophagy may be induced in a cell by reducing intracytosolic cAMP levels, for example using a cAMP antagonist, such as clonidine. This may be useful, for example in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders or pathogen infections.
