Possible mechanisms for the enhanced autophagy in ADSCs grown on CS substrates. CS substrates may upregulate Ulk1, Atg13, and Ambra1 mRNA expression. These proteins are inactivated in basal conditions, while upon H2O2 stimulation, the autophagy-initiating complex may be activated to enhance the autophagy of ADSCs to protect them against oxidative stress.
