Research in the past decade has established the importance of autophagy to a large number of physiological processes and pathophysiological conditions. Originally characterized as a pathway responsible for protein turnover and recycling of amino acids in times of starvation, it has been recently recognized as a major regulator of lipid metabolism. Different lipid species play various roles in the regulation of autophagosomal biogenesis, both as membrane constituents and as signaling platforms. Distinct types of autophagy, in turn, facilitate specific steps in metabolic pathways of different lipid classes, best exemplified in recent studies on neutral lipid dynamics. We review the emerging notion of intricate links between phospholipids, autophagy, and neutral lipids.
