Autophagy is an intracellular recycling process that degrades harmful molecules and enables survival during starvation, with implications for diseases including dementia, cancer and atherosclerosis. Previous studies demonstrate how a limited number of transcription factors (TFs) can increase autophagy. However, this knowledge has not resulted in translation into therapy, thus, to gain understanding of more suitable targets, we utilized a systems biology approach. We induced autophagy by amino acid starvation and mTOR inhibition in HeLa, HEK 293 and SH-SY5Y cells and measured temporal gene expression using RNA-seq. We observed 456 differentially expressed genes due to starvation and 285 genes due to mTOR inhibition (PFDR FDR ≤ 0.024 in SH-SY5Y and HeLa) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, PFDR FDR ≤ 0.04). In the SH-SY5Y cells of neuronal origin, the E2F transcription family was predicted to activate Alzheimer's disease pathway (PFDR ≤ 0.0065). These exploratory analyses suggest that SETX and E2F may mediate transcriptional regulation of autophagy and further investigations into their possible role in neuro-degeneration are warranted.
