Abstract

Autophagy is a process for the degradation and recycling of intracellular components and dysfunctional organelles. We developed an indole-embedded fluorescent naphthalimide for the selective imaging of autophagosomes in live cells. It was shown as intense puncta in the fluorescence confocal images and co-localizes with an autophagosome marker, LC3-RFP. In addition, it was applied to cellular autophagic models based on ER stress and starvation to verify its capability.
