Double Transgenic Mice Crossed GFP-LC3 Transgenic Mice With αMyHC-mCherry-LC3 Transgenic Mice Are a New and Useful Tool to Exa
utophagy is an intracellular bulk degradation process in which various cytoplasmic components, such as unfolded proteins and damaged organelles, are transported in double-membrane vesicles called autophagosomes through the cytoplasm to lysosomes. The autophagosome acquires hydrolytic enzymes by fusing with the lysosome to generate an autolysosome, whose contents are then degraded and recycled. ...
متن کاملMitochondrial degradation by autophagy (mitophagy) in GFP-LC3 transgenic hepatocytes during nutrient deprivation.
Fasting in vivo and nutrient deprivation in vitro enhance sequestration of mitochondria and other organelles by autophagy for recycling of essential nutrients. Here our goal was to use a transgenic mouse strain expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) fused to rat microtubule-associated protein-1 light chain 3 (LC3), a marker protein for autophagy, to characterize the dynamics of mitochondria...
متن کاملGFP-LC3 labels organised smooth endoplasmic reticulum membranes independently of autophagy
Disruption of autophagy leads to accumulation of intracellular multilamellar inclusions morphologically similar to organised smooth endoplasmic reticulum (OSER) membranes. However, the relation of these membranous compartments to autophagy is unknown. The purpose of this study was to test whether OSER plays a role in the autophagic protein degradation pathway. Here, GFP-LC3 is shown to localise...
متن کاملA method for the establishment of a cell line with stable expression of the GFP-LC3 reporter protein.
As the function of autophagy becomes evident in a number of diseases, including cancer and infection, it is crucial to construct macrophage cell lines with stable expression of the microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (GFP-LC3). In this study, a mouse LC3 open-reading frame was amplified by RT-PCR, and cloned into the pEGFP-C1 plasmid for ...
متن کاملCell Survival Effects of Autophagy Regulation on Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Following Exposure to Oxidative Stress
Background: Due to oxidative stress, hypoxia, and serum deprivation, a large percentage of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) die in the early stages of transplantation. The present study aimed to address whether induction or inhibition of autophagy would affect the viability of MSCs after exposure to oxidative stress.Methods: MSCs were isolated from umbilical cord tissue using the Ficoll grad...
