title: [Possible role of autophagy activation in the stimulation of regeneration].
abstract: Human cell senescence occurs unevenly and senescent cells in tissues frequently can disturb the function of neighbouring nonsenescent ones. Setting of tissues regeneration can have profound practical significance in medicine, especially in geriatrics. One of the approaches to solve the problem is selective elimination of senescent and damaged cells from the tissues that can be the first phase of the process. During the investigation of the mechanisms of action of the preparation for hair growth stimulation it was discovered that this preparation does not stimulate proliferation of various human cells and does not increase the resistance of cells to stress. On the contrary the preparation becomes cytotoxic at the conditions of oxidative stress although on its own account it did not induce elevation of production of reactive oxygen species. Further investigations showed that the preparation increases transcriptional activity of p53 gene, increase autophagy level and induce weak adipogenic differentiation. The hypothesis of autophagic regeneration is discussed. As a result, the selective autophagic cell death of any senescent and damaged cells that undergoes oxidative stress triggers the regeneration process which can be increased by both the rejuvenation effect of increased autophagy and at the expense of nutrients released during the autophagy.
