ATP6AP2 knockdown in cardiomyocyte deteriorates heart function via compromising autophagic flux and NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Moderate autophagy can remove damaged proteins and organelles. In some inflammatory diseases, autophagy plays a protective role by inhibiting the NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3(NLRP3). (Pro)renin receptor (PRR, or ATP6AP2) is a critical component of the V-ATPase required for autophagy.

Lysosome-Targeted Biosensor for the Super-Resolution Imaging of Lysosome-Mitochondrion Interaction.

The interaction between lysosomes and mitochondria includes not only mitophagy but also mitochondrion-lysosome contact (MLC) that enables the two organelles to exchange materials and information. In our study, we synthesised a biosensor with fluorescence characteristics that can image lysosomes for structured illumination microscopy and, in turn, examined morphological changes in mitochondria and the phenomenon of MLC under pathological conditions. After designing and synthesising the biosensor, dubbed CNN, we performed an assay with a Cell Counting Kit-8 to detect CNN's toxicity in relation to H9C2 cardiomyocytes.
