Fig. 6From: Activated Drp1 regulates p62-mediated autophagic flux and aggravates inflammation in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion via the ROS-RIP1/RIP3-exosome axisScheme of activated Drp1 regulating p62-mediated autophagic flux and aggravating inflammation in CIRI. Drp1 activation following CIRI accelerates the p62-mediated formation of autophagosomes while inhibiting the autophagosome to autolysosome transition by activating the RIP1/RIP3 pathway. Undegraded autophagosomes are secreted extracellularly in the form of exosomes, causing an inflammatory response that further damages mitochondria, results in massive ROS generation, and blockage of autophagosomal degradation.
