Figure 8

Promastigotes were treated with 1 µM POSA (A, B), and 3 µM POSA (C, D) for 48 h. All images show the presence of small and large vacuoles containing several vesicles, membrane profiles and portions of the cytoplasm (asterisks). The endoplasmic reticulum appears in close association with the nucleus, the mitochondrion and autophagosomes (B–D, arrowheads). In Fig. 8A, changes in kinetoplast structure and vesiculation of the inner mitochondrial membrane were observed. N: nucleus; k: kinetoplast; m: mitochondrion; f: flagellum; A: autophagosome; FP; flagellar pocket.
