Does BCL2 have a promoting effect on autophagy?
BCL2 has a dual role in autophagy regulation. In osteoblasts, BCL2 expression is inhibited by lactoferrin, leading to enhanced autophagy activity . On the other hand, in osteoclast precursors (OCPs), BCL2 phosphorylation at the Ser70 site promotes autophagy and osteoclastogenesis . In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), tissue factor (TF) upregulates BCL2 expression, inhibiting autophagy and promoting HCC tumorigenesis . In pancreatic mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (MCC), abnormal autophagy activation contributes to the migration and invasion of MCC cells, and BCL2 is identified as a downstream target gene of miR-224-5p, which regulates autophagy signaling . Therefore, the role of BCL2 in autophagy regulation is context-dependent, with both inhibitory and promoting effects observed in different cell types and diseases.
