The suggested mechanism by which CPT1C increases cell survival in hMSCs under glucose starvation. hMSCs show reduced autophagic flux under glucose starvation. CPT1C overexpression increases autophagy and LD number in glucose-deficient conditions, which results in increased fatty acid availability for mitochondrial β-oxidation, and consequently, higher levels of ATP and longer cell survival compared to control cells.
