摘要：

Macroautophagy, an intracellular bulk degradation process in eukaryotes, is sensitive to nutrient supply and deprivation. Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), a mammalian homologue of yeast Atg8, plays an indispensable role in macroautophagy formation and is a suitable marker for this process. Through analysis of the subcellular distribution of LC3, we determined that the cytosolic fraction contained not only a precursor form (LC3-I), but also an apparent active form (LC3-IIs). Both cytosolic LC3-I and LC3-IIs were more responsive to amino acids than those of total homogenate. Moreover, changes in the LC3-IIs/I ratio reflected those in the total proteolytic flux remarkably in both fresh rat hepatocytes and H4-II-E cell lines. Thus, in addition to a sensitive index of macroautophagy, calculating the cytosolic LC3 ratio became an easy and quick quantitative method for monitoring its regulation in hepatocytes and H4-II-E cells.
