Background Information

Autophagy is a highly dynamic process consisting of the following three steps: (1) autophagosome formation, (2) autophagosome-lysosome fusion, and (3) degradation. It can be induced by multiple signaling pathways related to various triggers including nutrient deprivation, growth factor signaling, and cellular stress. The process of autophagosome formation proceeds through the steps of initiation, nucleation, elongation, closure, and ultimately fusion, each of which is regulated by various ATG proteins. 


The ideal approach for measuring autophagy is to assess autophagic flux, which represents the rate of degradation of the autophagic pathway. The most widely used method for measuring autophagic flux is to detect the processing of the autophagosomal membrane protein, LC3. Analyzing autophagy substrates such as p62/SQSTM1 is often recommended in addition to measuring LC3-II turnover for accurate assessment of autophagic flux. The fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes can be monitored by analyzing the autophagosomal marker LC3 and the lysosomal marker, LAMP simultaneously.
