In isolated rat hepatocytes, electroinjected [14C]sucrose is sequestered both by mitochondria and by autophagosomes/lysosomes. Radioactivity can be selectively extracted from the latter organelles by low concentrations of digitonin, thereby providing a specific bioassay for autophagic sequestration. By including a digitonin extraction step in the assay procedure, autophagic [14C]sucrose sequestration could be shown to be virtually completely (greater than 90%) suppressed by the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (10 mM), whereas mitochondrial sugar uptake was unaffected. An amino acid mixture likewise suppressed autophagic sequestration very strongly, while having no detectable effect on the mitochondria.
在分离的大鼠肝细胞中,电注射的[14C]蔗糖被线粒体以及自噬体/溶酶体隔离。低浓度的洋地黄皂苷可从后一种细胞器中选择性地提取放射性,从而为自噬隔离提供一种特异性生物测定法。通过在测定程序中加入洋地黄皂苷提取步骤,可以发现自噬性[14C]蔗糖隔离几乎完全(超过90%)被自噬抑制剂3-甲基腺嘌呤(10 mM)抑制,而线粒体对糖的摄取不受影响。氨基酸混合物同样非常强烈地抑制自噬隔离,而对线粒体没有可检测到的影响。
