Figure 7. Lysosomal perturbations cause GLUT1 mis-sorting.
(A, B) High content microscopy (HCM) imaging and quantification of LC3 response (puncta/cell of endogenous LC3 immunofluorescent profiles) in HeLaWT, and HeLaVPS35-KO cells in response to lysosomal damage by LLOMe (1 mM, 30 and 60 min). Scale bar, 20 μm. Data, means ± SE (n = 5), one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons. (C–E) HCM quantification of GLUT1 response (puncta/cell of endogenous GLUT1) (D) and its localization to endolysosomal compartments (% of LAMP1 profiles positive for GLUT1 immunostaining) (E) in Huh7WT treated with or without Monensin (100 µM), LLOMe (100 µM), and Bafilomycin A1 (100 nM) for 45 min. Scale bar, 20 μm. Data, means ± SE (n = 5), one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons. Analysis of GLUT1 puncta/cell (F, G) and its localization to endolysosomal compartments (% of LAMP1 profiles positive for GLUT1 immunostaining), (H) phenotype monitored by HCM quantification in Huh7WT cells transfected with GFP (control) or GFP-Rab7WT, GFP-Rab7Q67L, and GFP-Rab7T22N, expressing plasmids. Scale bar, 20 μm. Data, means ± SE (n = 3); one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons. Analysis of GLUT1 puncta/cell (I, J) by HCM quantification in Huh7 WT and ATG16L1-KO cells complemented with Flag (control), Flag-ATG16L1FL, or Flag-ATG16L1E230, expressing plasmids. Scale bar, 20 μm. Data, means ± SE (n = 5); one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons. HCM images in all relevant panels, examples from a bank of unbiased operator-independent machine-collected and algorithm-processed fields containing a minimum of 500 primary objects/cells per well (5 wells minimum per 96-well plate; 3 plates minimum), per cell line/condition.
