Accumulations of autophagosomes and non-esterified cholesterol are
observed in several cell lines derived from lysosomal storage diseases,
including Niemann Pick Type C (NPC). The relationship between
autophagosome accumulation and lysosomal non-esterified cholesterol is
unclear. Exposure of murine hepatoma 1c1c7 cultures to the cationic
amphiphilic drugs (CADs) U18666A, imipramine and clozapine caused
lysosomal non-esterified cholesterol and autophagosome accumulation.
Measurement of LC3-II conversion in the presence of lysosomal inhibitors
bafilomycin A1 and NH4Cl, degradation of long-lived proteins, and
colocalization of GFP-LC3 and LAMP1 indicated an increase in
autophagosome synthesis without compensatory increase in clearance.
Autophagosome synthesis was blocked using 3-MA to monitor …
