Tissue destruction can occur when the regulatory mechanisms of the inflammatory response are defective or the ability to clear damaged tissue and foreign substances is impaired.
This proinflammatory state increases tissue vulnerability to further injury, resulting in the amplification and derailment of the inflammatory response, although it is meant to be a beneficial reaction to clear damaged cells [11], [14], [16].
In this milieu of tumour cell killing and escape, the immune system must clear damaged tissue.
This mitochondrial damage causes an increase in mitophagy, presumably as an attempt to clear damaged mitochondria [ 199].
Many brain diseases involve activation of resident and peripheral immune cells to clear damaged and dying neurons.
However, it is conceivable that cells use alternative pathways to clear damaged mitochondria when autophagy is inactive.
To this end it may be important to clear damaged stem cells from the pool of self-renewing stem cells by induction of checkpoints such as apoptosis.
Tissue injury causes inflammation and the recruitment of immune cells into the wound to clear damaged cells and to protect against infection.
The most recent candidate for ATG5-dependant mitophagy in mammals is parkin [110], which may clear damaged mitochondria by recruiting proteins such as ubiquitin and p62 [111].
