Background Autophagy is a catabolic process for eliminating damaged organelles or
proteins to maintain cellular homeostasis. Recently, lipids have been demonstrated to be
targets for autophagosomal degradation. Therefore, autophagy might be involved in
sebaceous gland homeostasis, however, relevant data are lacking. Objectives We
investigated the role of autophagy in sebaceous lipogenesis and its regulatory mechanisms
in human SZ95 sebocytes. We also examined the possible role of autophagy in 13-cis …
