1 IFI16 induction by glucose restriction in human fibroblasts contributes to autophagy through activation of the ATM/AMPK/p53 pathway. Glucose tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
2 BACKGROUND: Glucose restriction in cells increases the AMP/ATP ratio (energetic stress), which activates the AMPK/p53 pathway. Glucose tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
3 METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We found that glucose restriction or treatment of human diploid fibroblasts (HDFs) with the activators of the AMPK/p53 pathway induced the expression of IFI16 protein. Glucose tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
4 Importantly, the knockdown of the IFI16 expression in HDFs inhibited the activation of the ATM/AMPK/p53 pathway in response to glucose restriction and also increased the survival of HDFs. Glucose tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
