摘要
Liver diseases are worldwide problems closely associated with various stresses,such as endoplasmic reticulum stress.The exact interplay between stress and liver diseases remains unclear.Autophagy plays an essential role in maintaining homeostasis,and recent studies indicate tight crosstalk between stress and autophagy in liver diseases.Once the bal-ance between damage and autophagy is broken,autophagy can no longer resist injury or main-tain homeostasis.In recent years,FGF21(fibroblast growth factor 21)-induced autophagy has attracted much attention.FGF21 is regarded as a stress hormone and can be up-regulated by an abundance of signaling pathways in response to stress.Also,increased FGF21 activates autophagy by a complicated signaling network in which mTOR plays a pivotal role.This review summarizes the mechanism of FGF21-mediated autophagy and its derived application in the defense of stress in liver diseases and offers a glimpse into its promising prospect in future clinical practice.
