Abstract
Ischemic stroke is the major cause of disability and death. Although autophagy is widely involved in the process of acute brain ischemia, the exact role of autophagy is still unclear. As autophagy is a double-edged sword, its protect or damage impact mainly depends on the degree of phagocytosis.In general, moderate phagocytosis can effectively remove excess metabolites, aging organelles, etc; whereas the excessive autophagy is vulnerable to autophagy-like cell death by virture of the normal intracellular organelles and materials degraded by lysosome. In conclusion, this review focuses on the following two points: 1. What's the role of autophagy in the ischemic brain injury——protective or damage 2. How does autophagy interact with apoptosis and necrosis Key words: Autophagy; Neuron; Hypoxia-Ischemia, Brain; Apoptosis; Necrosis
