There are many debilitating diseases, including certain cancers and gut disorders, that result from or are worsened by an overactive or improperly regulated immune system. Recently, a novel set of therapeutics called Site-specific Immunomodulators (SSIs) have been said to reset an uncontrolled and harmful immune response at specific sites of disease within the body, to help eliminate certain lung cancers and inflammatory bowel disorders. However, the way SSIs work is not well understood, but may involve an interesting biological process in the cell called autophagy or “self-eating”. Not only is autophagy thought of as the “garbage disposal” unit of the cell, but it allows immune cells to target and eliminate invading microbes and to regulate the immune response. In my thesis, I provided evidence that autophagy may indeed be important for SSIs to bring about their effects and provides the basis for the testing and designing of new and improved therapeutics in future.
