Chondrocytes in the growth plate and articular cartilage and osteocytes subsumed in Haversian bone exist in environmental niches that are characterized by a limited oxygen supply. In these tissues, cells display a hitherto unrecognized state in which there is evidence of autophagy. The autophagic condition serves to promote cell survival. When the response is triggered, the cell cannibalizes itself to generate energy; if extended, then it can activate Type II apoptosis. We opine that survival is dependent on niche conditions and regulated by crosstalk between mTOR, AMPK and HIF-1 and HIF-2. Recent studies suggest that HIF-2 is a potent regulator of chondrocyte autophagy and that this protein acts as a brake to the stimulatory function of HIF-1. Accordingly, the oxemic state of the tissue, its nutrient supply as well as the energetic state of the cells regulates autophagic flux. From a clinical viewpoint, it may be possible to enhance skeletal cell survival through drugs that modulate the autophagic state and prevent the induction of apoptosis.
