Change of Autophagy in Insulin Resistance, Diabetes Mellitus and Pancreatic Defect
Model and Organ Autophagy Autophagy parameters Reference
Dehydroepiandrosterone-indued insulin resistance; Skeletal muslces Suppressed Activated mTOR, decreased LC3- II/LC3-I, and increased p62 X. Song, et al., 2018
Hepatic steatosis in ob/ob mice; Liver Suppressed Increased GFP-LC3 puncta, LC3- II/LC3-I and p62, decreased proteolysis Inami, et al., 2011
High fat diet-induced insulin resistance;
Liver
Suppressed Decreased RFP-GFP-LC3 puncta,LC3- II/LC3-I and increased p62 Qian, et al., 2018
High-fat diet-induced insulin resistance; Hypothalamus Suppressed Decreased Atg7, Atg5, andLC3-II (Meng & Cai, 2011)
Palmitic acid-induced insulin resistance; Cardiomyocytes Enhanced Increased GFP-LC3 puncta, LC3-II, decreased Atg12-Atg5, Atgl6Ll, Atg3 (S. Li, H. Li, et al., 2017)
Insulin resistance and diabetes in high-fat diet fed mice and db/dbmice; Pancreatic ß cells Enhanced Increased autophagosome formation by TEM and LC3-II Ebato, et al., 2008
Type 1 diabetes in streptozotocin-injected mice; Hearts Suppressed Decreased LC3-II, At g 12, and the Atg12-Atg5 complex (Z. Xie, et al., 2011; X. Xu, Kobayashi, et al., 2013)
Insulin resistance in fructose-fed mice;
Heart
Enhanced Increased LC3-II, Beclin 1, andp62 Mellor, et al., 2011

Type 1 diabetes in streptozotocin-treated mice; Heart Decreased Decreased Beclin 1, Atg7, Atg12, LC3- II, and increased p62 (Xiao, et al., 2018)
Change of Autophagy in Obesity and Dyslipidemia
Obesity in human; Visceral fat Increased Increased Atg5 and LC3-II (Haim, et al., 2015)
Obesity, GFP-LC3+-ob/ob mice; Pancreatic islets Suppressed Increased GFP-LC3 puncta, LC3- II/LC3-I and p62, decreased proteolysis (Quan, et al., 2012)
Obesity, both ob/ob mice and high-fat diet; Liver Suppressed Decreased Atg7, Atg5, Beclinl, LC3-II, and increased p62 (Inami, et al., 2011; Qian, et al., 2018; L. Yang, et al., 2010)
Obesity in human: Omental and subcutaneous adipose tissue Increased increased Atg5, LC3-II, and Atg12-Atg5 (Kovsan, et al., 2011)
Change of Autophagy in Hypertension
Rat PASMCs, Pulmonary arterial hypertension treated with Chloroquine Suppressed increased expression of LC3B-ÏÏ and ATG5 mRNA , increased p62 and BMPR-II protein levels (Long, et al., 2013)
Mice, cardiac hypertrophy induced by
TAC, heart failure
Early suppressed, Late upregulated decreased LC3-II levels, increased LC3- II levels (A. Nakai, et al., 2007)
Hypertension in obese ZDF rat; Mesenteric arterioles Increased Increased Atg5, Atg7, Beclin 1, p62 and LC3-II (Q. Dong, et al., 2017)
Stress-induced hypertension in rats; neurons of the rostral ventrolateral medulla Impaired Increased LC3-II and p62, and blocked autophagic flux (Du, et al., 2017)
