Abstract
Autophagy is an important biological process of cells, which plays an important role in cell survival and homeostasis. A large number of studies have indicated that autophagy and its related proteins were involved in the regulation of lymphocyte development and immune response, which play an important role in many autoimmune diseases. Recent studies have found that autophagy was closely related to the occurrence and development of autoimmune thyroid diseases. Combined with the reports of autophagy related autoimmune thyroid diseases in recent years, the molecular regulation mechanisms of autophagy and the relationship between autophagy and autoimmune thyroid diseases were reviewed. Key words: Autophagy; Autoimmune thyroid disease; Hashimoto′s thyroiditis; Graves′ disease
